I have had a Del Boy Lesser watch event.
Decided to have a big declutter, I have storage all over the place after many years of on and off dealings, a few house clearances and general bartering, I knew I had a few watches so decided to put batteries in them and give them to the kids etc.
Moving one which I always viewed as a copy I noticed it started going, I then realised the hand was sweeping and not ticking the seconds and in fact it looked/felt total quality.
After doing a 12 point check it would appear it could be a genuine ladies Rolex Oyster Dateadjust, of course it could be a superb copy but the detail just looks too good, our local watch guy, although not a Rolex specialist is sure it's genuine but I did not want him fiddling with the internals.
A Rolex dealer I contacted 40 miles away has asked a load of questions about it and now wants me to take it through for them to look at.
I don't know what anyone can tell me but I am just trying to improve my knowledge on a subject I know little of, pre warned is pre armed sort of thing.
