Real or fake? Wtb; Vintage Rolex!

[ARX63]

Hi guys!

Since I was a kid, I dreamt of a Rolex, And after hard work, And saving my ass off, I earned enough to buy my datejust!

Unfortunately, last week, some f***%*%# nutjob (sorry for my language, at the moment of typing, im crying) put a gun to my head, and robbed me of my precious DateJust...... 😭

I can buy a 18k gold DateJust, I suppose vintage, but I doubt about its authenticity...

Can someone help me?

Sorry for your horrible experience. On this forum, most of us recommend that you "buy the seller" and sometimes pay a little more for the security of knowing that you are getting an authentic timepiece. I liked Amsterdam a lot, felt very safe there, but of course, in those days, I had neither money nor Rolex.

Unfortunately, the single blurry picture isnt going to help authenticate anything. Just a quick glance and the magnification looks horrible so that may be an indicator but it may just be the picture.
Closer, clearer pics of the dial, between the lugs, the back case, the movement and the inside of the case back will be the only way we can authenticate the watch.
As said above, always buy the seller and not the watch.

Amsterdam..... Luckily it was just your watch.

There are a bunch of vintage and grey dealer in the vicinity of Amsterdam, look at the forum sponsors on the Dutch Rolex forum.
subGMt, Amsterdam Watch Co, JK Watch Co come to mind.

Maybe choose a SS sportsmodel to keep it even more low profile.
And yes that is ridiculous, you should be able to wear any watch without fear of getting robbed.

Hope you can sleep!
