HELP! Real or fake!

Inherited this watch. Says Rolex. On the band it says Hong Kong HD and 555. Please help!

I know the photos aren't the best. Hard to photograph.

The dial is real, but don't know about the rest. Is that a carved out near the crown in the 5th picture. I'm incline to say its not rolex.

Not the worst fake I've ever seen, but not valuable. The dial's pretty good, but the hands are kind of awful.

Fake watch. Date wheel is so, so wrong. Also, it should have lug holes if it's a real vintage DJ. Pop the bracelet and look at the serial number (if there is one) and the model number.

the links - gold on top, stainless on the bottom?

The clasp - HONG KONG ?

There's no way a case back sticker could last that long.
