3rd Party Rolex Purchase
I'm probably going to be purchasing my first Rolex GMT iic two tone this week, it will be my first. The seller is a third party who has a hardly has any wear on the watch. I will have the watch checked out by a authorized servicer.
What do you recommend I look out for? Excited.... |

Definitely box and papers as stated above. Check to see that the serial numbers are matching if possible. Trust your gut, if something feels wrong, walk away. Better safe than 6-8K sorry!!

Wow! That's a good price! I would make sure it operates properly. Just make sure he/she is not unloading a faulty piece!! If it is all good, sounds like you are getting a great deal!!

Bracelet stretch, chips on edge of crystal and scratches in ceramic bezel, and dents. It is a fairly new model so stretch should not be an issue; however, pick it up by head with bracelet parallel to the horizon and see how it is hang'in. It is probably just fine.
