i saw a picture of a rather impressive watch collection on a site but i noticed the left day date and submariner looked like fakes ( might be wrong) could anyone shed any light on my suspicion? Image can be saved and is high res so you can zoom in on it.

Not sure about the Sub, but if the DD does not have WG surrounds around the diamond markers, the dial is probably aftermarket.

Both day date dials are not original, diamond lugs on Left DD not original either

First glance.

The only fake part I can see is the bezel on the RHS DD.

I do remember seeing the LHS diamond lug arrangement on a couple of DDs. I think it may be factory.

Picture is very low res though. Also, I don't know who the heck the owner is.

Looks like the Cartier has the micro print in the 7 . . . . Not sure if that means anything these days.

I thought maybe I should expand. The day date left first, the Rolex and day date should be on a plate and mounted it could be the photos but it definitely looks written directly on the dial, I am away and on a phone also so I can't see the photos at full computer size. Diamond lugs would make it a 18338 model, they did make them like this, but i need way closer photos to see the setting and size of the stones.

Right day date bezels aftermarket, the edge of the dial is beveled indicating an 1803 non quickset, this diamond setting was not available at that time, only a thinner setting and usually the diamonds are set in white gold. the setting is not right for new model either in to centre to far on the dial. Hands to short look replaced on this one also.

Sub looks Ok

I've seen fakes with the micro printing, but the spelling was wrong. "carter" instead of "Cartier"

The diamond bezel is fake/aftermarket the others look legit to me.

Fake, just look at the glass zoom to se that it`s position it not centered perfect.

Just curious why it matters to the op?

The only thing certain is that the owner has terrible taste in tattoos, fitness hygiene, and watches.
