Always appreciate the more experienced and discerning eyes on here. Does this piece look correct to you all? I know many of you have forgotten more than I'll ever know about Rolex. Any feedback appreciated.

To be honest I wish they ran at 36,000 like other El Primeros

Looks let me an A or P series. Why do you ask, are you buying?

Was thinking about it.

You should edit the third photo as it shows the serial number. I assume the papers and the watch serial numbers match. Looks like a nice watch.

It has had a brand new bezel fitted, you may wish to ask the seller for the receipt, as there are “ebay bezels” out there. Beyond that point, It looks kosher to me, I have the same zenith.

Agree it appears to be a new bezel and noticed it is an A series from the papers. I also have an A series and think it’s a great watch. What’s the ask on it?

$22.5. Little deeper than I’d like to be in it. Happy to share a contact with the owners permission if someone wants to take a run at it

That doesn't sound out of range. Assuming it's a full set and possibly an OEM bezel replacement, probably polished as well. I've seen a lot of full set prices north of that figure lately and the A series has the better SEL bracelet as well.

Nice looking watch. The prices on these things are crazy now.

Guess he sold it this morning. Oh well. Lol

Not really surprising based on how it appeared condition wise. Many dealers are asking 25k+ for a full set A serial. Some NOS asking prices are in the stratosphere

How can you tell it is not the original bezel?

No red flags I can see via the photos. Still hard to believe the prices on these pieces. Have you considered throwing down a few thousand more and going PM?

Bezel is too nice for the age of the watch.

It’s obviously new which unless from Rolex with receipt is a massive red flag. EBay = 200$ good fake

I have the exact zenith. Paint in numerals is too high (new). The paint wears in after min 6 months and you can see the indentation. This watch has zero of this, the bezel is brand new. Also, bezel has zero scratches after 25+ years yet the watch is full of them? A single 1 x polish of those bezels first removes/Lowers the enamel paint in the numbers. So no polish has ever happened on that bezel. It’s is literally brand new. Unless there’s a receipt from Rolex for that bezel it’s an eBay 200$ example which renders the watch almost valueless to a collector and would cost 1000s to replace with oem

Bezel looks legit to me.....the later A serials came with lettering similar to the 116520 with big spaces between the letters. It should have a few hairlines on it for the age of the watch. Maybe he bought a nos in the past 18 years and put it on to sell...looks like a seldom worn piece and a steal at 22.5 guess that’s why it’s gone

Hard part is that without knowing the history it’s impossible to trade or move should you want to.
