    I inherited this watch and it seems to be from the mid to late 80's. the hands have what appears to be rust and I'm wondering if it would be advisable to have a professional work on it? I don't want to damage it in case it's valuable.
    I know anything with ROLEX on it has value.

    Pictures below of condition.

    The watch is real and the story is somewhat real but I knew immediately it was fake.

    The caseback is pure comedy gold. I mean why take the time to print made in china on the inside when you faked the swiss made on the outside? The bracelet looks like a pure Seiko Clone though.

    I guess not everything with ROLEX on it has value after all.

    Come on guys. The lettering does not match the aging at all... photoshopped in?
