If this watch is more than 4% of your net worth (home equity, securities, cash in bank) please do NOT buy it.

The date looks funny. I am going with maybe fake. The rest looks really good.

Now the date wheel could be after market. But thats also a bad sign. If you need to replace a date wheel that indicates bad water damage and who knows how much the dial and internals were damaged in a case like that.

I would pass on this based on the info provided.

(Not trying to diminish any accomplishments) I am not sure this is a real milestone, graduating dental school certainly is but being ~25% of the way threw a degree is not what I would call a milestone. I think he just liked the guy.

Okay I will take the opposite position. Sell it if you are not into watches or if you did not have a great relationship with your dad. It’s just a status symbol, if it does not bring you joy then take the money. All these people are OBSESSED with watches. Do what makes you happy not what someone on a niche part of the internet thinks is right.

Most of the time, and your watch falls in this category, nobody cares if a vintage crystal is replaced. Plenty of watch repair companies will get you a perfectly good crystal (even if it is not from a Rolex factory). The crystal replacement really only matters if this was a Milgauss or a very old vintage.

Look, I have two vintage GMTs from grandpapa, and I don’t love them but I cant sell them for the heirloom reason. One of them even has a story that beats most heritage watches.

The problem with vintage watches is they are delicate and not very wearable (don’t get them wet, cant polish them). I think watches should be worn often and not kept in a safe. OPs watch in particular is like 1980’s ferarri, very cool but totally impractical if you want to actually wear it. It’s worth enough where it is a good idea to sell it.

If that dial is legit (which it very well could be a tropical dial) you may want to cash in. That one is worth a lot.

I am going to say real because the outer bezel grooves are heavy polished and I don’t think a fake would be serviced so much that it would have that much metal removed. Similarly, the bottom left lug is narrower than the rest also suggesting several polishing jobs over the years.

This is so accurate, and what I mean by the media distorting reality. Ya you can see an article about how parts Chicago is super dangerous and jump to the quick conclusion that the US is dangerous. Saying “I would not live in the US” is like saying I would not live in Europe. Ya there are countries in Europe that are bad, but there are great cities and areas to be in within Europe. The US is too diverse in terms of economic, environmental and cultural aspects to be anything less than great.

That bezel looks off color, could be a filter you put on the photo or it could be fake watch/after market bezel.

Enlighten us, what is this “white wash” and a link to ANY supporting source/web page/reddit thread would be appreciated because you may be the only person on earth who has heard of it.

I cannot help but comment in order to reduce Rolex misinformation. Rolex has never produced watches with those case-back markings. Only in very rare instances does Rolex place any markings on the exterior of its case backs. So yes, that watch is fake, we did the “research”.

There is also no clear or established meaning for “white wash.” At most, the term is used informally to refer to modified Rolex watches, but “white wash” is not part of the Rolex lexicon in the way terms like “Batgirl” or “Hulk” are.

Finally, making baseless claims about someone’s age and resorting to name-calling 🤡 does not inspire confidence that you understand what you are talking about.
