Suspicious YM Midsize
What do you guys think? It's cheap but doesn't look like original box and no papers. Has valuation certificate and seller insists it's genuine, but I just think it looks fake.
My wife has a midsize SS Plat YM and it doesn't look like this (dial, date font etc) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rolex-Yach...MAAOSwUKxYZPNE Opinions welcome |

Looks fine from here. It's an A-serial (1998-1999), so it's basically the earliest version of the 35mm version watch (and the box is period-correct). Later models had different dial variations/date fonts I believe.

At first glance it did look like an arm, but I think it's simply a bathroom towel.
