Datejust Fake or real
I have recently bought a ladies datejust watch. I have taken the watch to two jewellers, neither would verify 100% that the watch is genuine but are fairly sure that it is. How can I be 100% sure that the watch is genuine? I have a serial number N499433 and a strap number 62523D.18, and above that O11. Can anyone help with this? I would appreciate any ideas.
Paul. |

Nice clear pictures of the watch, front and back, would likely generate an accurate answer.

For starters the dial and bezel are aftermarket.

It seems to me the dial on the watch looks to be off centered to the left, unless its just the pics. Also there is engraving on the back, which is not factory made that way. However it could have been done by the owner ( previously or yourself). BUT we need some clear pics!!!'

The jeweller has never taken the back off...will it have to come off to be sure ? Do the serial numbers not have any relevance ?

Is this possible that the strap and the watch are different dates?

Even with the terrible pics I call fake. The print on the dial looks off centered and the coronet looks off.
