Authentic Day-Date?

Hi,
Looking at buying a day-date... and the seller has forwarded me these pictures.
Wondering what you guys think? Genuine?
Seller did say he suspects that the bezel maybe third party but the rest is original

So far it doesn't look very promising.
Do you have pictures of the clasp?

Authentic Day-Date?

Lots of aftermarket parts at best, aftermarket dial pretty bad one , sorry no offence and aftermarket bezel. Please take photos of the clasp and hallmarks on the back of the case.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to find something.

This is at the top of the list for one of the worst dials I have ever come across. Good pass on this

I'd pass on this. Lots of aftermarket bling... Don't like the look of the bracelet either.

Some original, some not. Not worth the trouble IMHO.
