Assistance with Datejust

Gents

Im hoping you can help me. Im living in Doha Qatar where the second hand trade of anythign is dodgy at best. that being said Ive been offerd a datejust and while I have done abit of homework Id like to know where I can find some gurus on the net who can help me out.





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? Waht should I pay?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

thanks

overall i think its an older datejust has open 6 date that is good, the band is gone mate, you either send it to micheal young for repair or buy another, the link corners are worn so this is not just a simple repair either, endlinks are correct, i am not sure about the clasp, take a photo of the otherside please with the swiss made and reference numbers. In that condition i would pay $1200 max

The end links, of the bracelet, look loose.
