Rolex 6036---or not.

Hi Guys,

I was browsing the world auction house, Flea Bay and came across this. I am not an expert but this does not appear proper, or am in the wrong?







P.S What country code is AXZ on the balance cock.


The case back is signed different than any I have seen. The movement is signed all sorts of odd ways and the dial is horrendous.

Proper movement Below: (Borrowed Photo)

Dial looks refinished & movement looks wrong & does not match, at all the attached picture. Fake IMO. Also, look at the engravings on the movement in question & the movement of an original 6036, the original had different engravings & a nicer finish on the plates, etc.

Err Buddy Jeremy...that Triple Date Calender movement(Valjoux) was a common movement used by many brands in those days...

It once belonged to a watch made by Benrus Watch company...
