very vintage...... or very fake oyster perpetual
I got this watch cleaning out a old house, it has some residue behind the glass which I hope can be cleaned easily if it is real.
But, I've searched around the net everywhere and have found nothing on this watch, so am starting to think it is a vintage replica. It says japan movt on the bottom of the face, and seems to be very cheapy for a real rolex, but it is also very old looking so I dont know what to think. anyone have any info on this pictured watch?? |

Freddy, I haven't seen that model before. My guess is that it is a fake.
If it says japan anywhere on the watch then it is definitely a fake that is for sure. |

It's a early 80's Fake. By the late 80's they started marking them Swiss made.
