Real or not?
What are your thoughts on this? This is a local seller in Connecticut.

I was thinking the same thing about the bracelet. I think it's fake. I'm very new to the Rolex world but it doesn't seem right to me. The woman is asking $4,000.

Sorry, but there is NOTHING there that would confirm a fake. In fact, it looks fine from here.
The bracelet looks good (for a vintage "USA" 60's SS/14k ladies model). The dial could be aftermarket/refinished, but the pics are too small/bad to tell. |

Thank you David for clarifying... watch appears to be a 6917... I am leaning toward factory with the dial though better pics are needed

Sorry, going to have to go against the grain AGAIN here.
End links look fine to me (yes, including the lines on the bottom sides). Just like every other 13mm Rolex "USA" (JB Champion) Jubilee style bracelet I've seen. |

Personally, to me from those photos no one could categorically state watch is "all 100% genuine and correct".
I have touched a lot of fakes, and that watch compares to them. I am happy to be proven incorrect, but based on those photos, I would act with extreme caution. Regards adam

I have To agree, looks good to me as well. Bracelets looks good from what o can see, case also looks good. Not sure about the diamond dial, that's a question mark for me unless I can get better pics. Last, $4000 way way to high Price should honestly be around 700 to 1200 period, I see no more value thank that. 26mm ladies ROLEX datejust is dead, in fact ROLEX has discontinued the size from inventory.. Just my educated opinion !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you've ever seen/held a genuine USA/JB bracelet (like the one above), you'd realize nobody would bother to fake them, lol... |

Hi Eric
If you are willing to authenticate that watch 100% as genuine on those photos - that is fine. Me? I can not. PS: They fake and FAKED everything! Its not a modern phenomena

I am simply countering all of the bad info here and bold proclamations that it's "all fake" like you first mentioned. You stated that it "looked all fake" to you. In my opinion, based on those photos, you are wrong. I am not saying that EVERYTHING looks genuine, as the pics aren't good enough to make out the dial and obviously we can't see the movement. However, there are enough indicators there that should have you (as a self-proclaimed "expert") leaning towards "genuine" and not "fake" IMO. |

Here's a bit of info to counter the epic amout of fail in this thread:
1. The bracelet is genuine (Rolex "USA" JB Champion 13mm SS/14k Jubilee). 2. The case-back is clean, without the engraving that later 26mm models had, as it should be. 3. The bezel is well worn, indicating that it's real/solid gold. 4. Date disc look correct, and not the bold-font of later 26mm models. 5. Winding crown looks correct. |

I understand. One point I am NOT "a self proclaimed expert" - I NEVER profess that indeed, I do not allow anyone to state I am an "expert" - if you do some research you will find that out. I surely teach Identifying the Luxury from the Fake, and I believe NO one will buy a fake after my course (and none have) That said, I may allow a genuine to walk by. Thanks, I am out of this topic A
