I recently came across a vintage Rolex Datejust at what I would consider an unbelievable price. From my research, the watch is circa 1980's. I wanted to post a picture of the oyster band with the end pieces numbered 501 B. The watch does need maintenance but I'm perfectly okay with spending a little money to make this watch a gem again.

I've uploaded a pic of the questionable end pieces.

Like the old saying goes, "if it's too good to be true it probably is." Any comments are welcomed.

Cheers,

Dustin

Any better pics?

We need better pics but what I can see so did it not looks good.

Pic of end piece with 501 B.

Methinks a DJ of that era would have lug holes, right?

Fakey looking to me

I like the dial. As to authenticity and right end links. No clue

Hastidr · 30 June 2013, 04:47 AM

That was my first questionable detail that it is a no hole case. I have a 1993 two tone and it has lug holes.

Did Rolex even put an Oyster band on DateJust models in the 80s?

Those are not authentic 501B endlinks.

Hastidr · 30 June 2013, 04:50 AM

I like the dial myself. My intention is to gift my brother his first genuine Rolex...

Hastidr · 30 June 2013, 04:52 AM

Thank you, everyone.

Shaking my head,

Dustin

Sorry looks more sketchy with the end link pics.

Mods - this should go into Watch Out!!! Section now IMHO.
