99% real imo but the crystal may be replaced.

this seller does quite a few deals and has good feedback. buy the seller.

^thank you so much! what you would you say the right number to payfor it is?

[Chewbacca]

i'd say $1300 - $1500 tops.... your link still works to it. mine doesn;t for some reason but it may be my quotation marks.

yea i saw that its strange, any one else with any input?

The watch looks good but refinished dial is not a good thing for collectors it's generally not good, nice condition. If you are going to wear it and enjoy it it's fine, but its not a for the collectors for sure. I would pay 1400 approx maybe 1500 because it looks nicely serviced.

it's not an investment grade watch, that is what i was saying nicely before, it will not appreciate in value, in five years the watch will be worth about the same as now $1400

thanks! and it doesnt look like im going to be able to scoop it up any cheaper either haha.

It's illegal to import a Rolex into the US. Good luck getting through Customs.

Partially true Bill. Pre-owned can be purchased outside the USA and shipped stateside.

mhmm, well thanks guys ive gone ahead and switched gears due to those comments i found this beauty and i was wondering what you guys think about it? im able to buy it at why i think is a great value? it seems to be very rare due to it being a 58' watch with an auto movement. Let me know what you all think

I thought it was for any Rolex. Thanks for the clarification John.

It is an urban myth!!! I've seen way too many threads on this topic that are incorrect. I've discussed this with U.S. Customs officials in the past and have helped a couple members here with pre-owned watches that were seized by customs. They weren't seized because they were shipped to the USA, they were seized because they believed they were counterfeit.

Nice insight.
