Sorry if this is not allowed, but I am looking out for a friend who just purchased this from a pawnshop. I'm not very educated in Rolex's and would appreciate any help in determining the authenticity of this watch.

Looks ok at first glance. Take some Photos of clasp etc we need to check the band.

Appears to be legit... keep in mind its not uncommon for someone to swap a aftermarket bracelet with a worn out factory one and use the original clasp, thus making it appear like a real band.

Looks ok here too, need more pics

I can ask for more pictures, but the responses here have reassured me that it is authentic. As someone who is not that familiar with Rolex's, what made me question it was the font of the date- the 2 looks a little thicker than the 0.

Datewheel does appear to be aftermarket... however it may be a aftermarket crystal with the incorrect magnification power one the cyclops..
Older pieces can be a nightmare, once you find one incorrect part it makes you doubt everything.

Other than the date, everything looks alright to me..
