It says from 1980's era.
Is it for real from 1980's era?
Does Rolex make it in the 80's?
Going to look at it tomorrow.

Franken watch! Its either a fake, or made up of some genuine parts and some really nasty after market bling.

Looks like some of the diamonds are missing -

It looks a mess !!

Whether that is a real 80's Datejust under there is impossible to tell from the pictures and information provided.

The dial, bezel and hands are not authentic. (Thankfully)

Even if you really like the looks of this watch, I would not pay any premium for the "Extras."

I had no idea it is an after market diamond thing.
Thank you so much for the replies.

RSC will not touch that watch unless you return it to original condition (replace dial, bezel, hands).

no the diamonds are not missing they are low quality "dirty" diamonds that are showing the carbon deposits.

aftermarket all the way!!!

Looks like some diamonds are low quality.
If the price is right I'd buy it, it is a fine looking piece no matter what, but I guess that is very objective.
Who cares if RSC won't service it? I'd take it to a good watch maker any day.
If you plan to keep it for yourself and never sell it like I did with my watch, who cares about if it is a franken watch or not?
Just make sure you are educated, and many have made valid points here.
So make usre you buy what you want first, but on an educated informed decision.

I like that very much.

I'll go take a look anyway.
The store has few more other models that came in.
Thanks for all the tips!

I think that is objective, and relative to the person viewing them.
I like Diamonds.
