The two-tone Datejust is common enough that outright counterfeits are less of a risk than aftermarket parts. Diamond dials, bezels and bracelets fitted outside Rolex are the main thing to identify.
| Area | What to check | What is correct | Red flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| case | Fluted 18k yellow gold bezel | A solid gold fluted bezel whose flutes are evenly cut and whose colour matches the crown and the bracelet centre links | Wear through to steel at the flute peaks, or a bezel whose gold tone does not match the crown and bracelet |
| crystal | Acrylic crystal with cyclops | An acrylic crystal, correct for the five-digit generation, with the cyclops magnifying the date | A sapphire crystal, which belongs to the later 16234 rather than to the 16013 |
| movement | Caliber 3035 quickset date | A 27-jewel cal. 3035 whose date advances from the crown in an intermediate position rather than by winding the hands round | A date that can only be set by turning the hands past midnight, which points to an earlier non-quickset caliber and a mismatched case |
| dial | Dial printing and index setting | Even printing with applied indices seated flush, and a dial code consistent with the reference | Aftermarket diamond indices, uneven index feet, or printing that has been thickened by refinishing |
| bracelet | Two-tone Jubilee bracelet and clasp | A Rolex-signed clasp with a code at or after the case date, and gold centre links matching the bezel in tone | An unsigned clasp, a clasp code earlier than the case, or plated centre links wearing through at the edges |
| case | Reference and serial between the lugs | A 16013 reference between the lugs at twelve and a serial at six, both legible | A different reference, or numbers worn shallow by polishing |
