rolex oyster perpetual

hey there,

I want to buy a 'Rolex Oyster Perpetual date just superltiy chronometer officially certified' from a friend. It's a very very old watch (I think) as I cannot find anything about it online. It has an odd way of showing the time, the 12 = Rolex logo - 3,6,9 = square and 1,2,4,5,7,8,10,11 = dots. The back says "exactitude Japan movt no 8078G waterproof".

Does anyone know this watch? I've never seen any like this one before. My friend has a hard time getting the serial number so I can't find it. Please help!

A Datejust without a date? Japanese movement? It’s not even trying to be real.

And that’s why the Japanese don’t make Rolex. They are much better at making Grand Seiko!!
