Help with serial number - Datejust
Hi gents
Im stuck in Doha Qatar where the second hand trade is dodgy at best. Id really appreciate some assistance as Ive been offered a watch ive wanted for a while. Ive been offerd this and while I have done abit of homework Id like to know your thoughts. Im highly sceptical but, = Solid back, no engraving = Serials on the bracelet are correct = Date magnification looks correct = Clasp is staped out but not marked = Correct me if I’m wrong but the datejust didn’t come with a triplock crown seal = Hands are full sized and shaped = I need to check the engraved serial between the lugs = The bracelet is VERY stretched out, I’m assuming nothing can be done and I’ll have to get a leather strap for it. Sould I bother doing more homework or have I missed something? Fake? Whats an aceptable price? Any feedback would be greatly apprciated. thanks |

The endlinks are correct. Looks like a real vintage datejust. 70's most likely? . What does the serial begin with? If condition is not great then the price is for you to decide. Mov't ' should be 1570 calibre .. 1575 with date. The crown should just have a line under it not 3 dots. Edit.. Clasp may be over polished and thus stamps have worn away.. Or it's fake. Very hard to tell but head and endlinks look 100% real.

If you take a nice clear shot of the other side of the clasp showing all the numbers it may help.

Looks OK but need a lot of TLC.
Do you have more pix of the watch? Chris, My 1971 DJ has a non quickset, hacking 1570 movement. It seems that some 1575 movements were marked 1570?

Hope your well Eddie. The 1575 is a 1570 calibre with a date complication. As you noticed they usually just say 1570 on them
