Corn dog Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 My girlfriends grandad left her this watch, I’m an absolute novice when it comes to watch knowledge, and I’m also new to this forum so be kind. Any info would be appreciated : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Well that 0750 is on 3131 but they are Daytonas from what I can find. Either worthless or a real rare bird and then your talking some $! A pimped out 1803 maybe guys? Crown and case profile pics would help, also you feel comfortable opening to take a look see at the movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Don't get your hopes up! The Day and Date fonts are totally wrong- looks like it may have an eta movement possibly. Hands are also wrong as is the winding crown. There are 18K Italian bracelets made and they are ok, and if the case was also 18K at least you'd have some real gold. If you see any signs of fading on the gold parts, then you know it's gold plate. Take it to a jeweler to see if the bracelet and case are legit.

dj_nut Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Case looks plated I could be wrong, bracelet looks solid. What's the weight?As for the stones, they could be paste or genuine. Because it's rolex style doesn't mean it has to be rolex. Also it might be a one off gold watch for services rendered over a certain number of years.

Corn dog Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks for your thoughts, the diamonds are real and it’s all real gold. I had this valued 2 years ago but the jewler wasn’t a watch expert but he did say, he thought it wasn’t a genuine Rolex. I’m not sure the weight but he offered me 7k for it? I will take it be opened up tomorrow and see what movement it is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Well if he was correct worth a lot more as I saw pricing on these while researching for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Thanks for your thoughts, the diamonds are real and it’s all real gold. I had this valued 2 years ago but the jewler wasn’t a watch expert but he did say, he thought it wasn’t a genuine Rolex. I’m not sure the weight but he offered me 7k for it? I will take it be opened up tomorrow and see what movement it is I don't have much to say about the diamonds and the gold, they do look genuine. I am sure that your jeweller knew what he was offering and so, you have a nice piece of high value jewellery at the minimum. The movement, judging from the datewheel, may not be a genuine Rolex one, and like @reckoner777mentioned above, it looks like a standard ETA one. The Rolex experts here can help you a lot better when the movement is seen. I am looking forward to seeing it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_nut Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Personally I prefer the eta it's cheap and easy to repair and service, and when setup they can be extremely accurate. Where as most rolex parts can now only be bought via a registered dealer at a premium. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
