It looks fine from the 2 pictures and it's V serial, several years newer than Y serial.

Just make sure you ask to see everything in the picture and ask if everything is included or if anything is missing...

Thanks for the reply's everyone, will try to get a better deal if i can and also need to get some time to travel the 1000kms to Melbourne to look at it, hopefully early next week. Do not think i should buy it sight unseen and ask him to post it to me just yet.

Looks good to me. I know in Australia Rolex prices are high, but +/- $5815 USD seems high. If you don't want to drive 1000 km ask him to send photo of watch in the box on a piece of paper with your name and date on it.
