14060M papers stamped 2007

I would be grateful if you could cast your eyes over the images below (the sellers images and not the highest resolution). I have been looking for a no date sub just prior to the watches having the engraved rehaut. This is what I have found, a 2007, 14060M, Z series.

It comes with what the add says is its original box and papers; does that look like the original box? I thought that it came with a thicker, darker green one, but could be wrong.

The dial and hands look fine but does the bezel look original, as it looks a bit 'orange peel'? The bracelet looks good with the Rolex emblem on the clasp, looking untouched. I think it has 501 end links and a 93150 and I will ask for the date code.

The case looks fine and perhaps has lost a little bit of definition on the facets on the lugs but does it look as if it has been messed with? I appreciate that these are hardly rare, but I just want to get a good original one that has not been messed about with. Thanks in advance.

It is definitely real and a 2007 but a little confused about the box, should be a newer style light green
Also ask to see a pic of the serial on the watch to see if it matches the paper

Looks OK to me, but how many links left in bracelet?

2007 should come with a new style box. Look it up on the internets :-)

That's what I thought, but some of the adverts on line also had different boxes for the same year although I am sure that is because someone has gone on to ebay and bought a box just to help sell their watch.

Looks good to me. That dealer had a lot of watches in the marketplace in mid 2000's too. Seems you should be most concerned about the reputation of the seller.
If the add states how many links the bracelet has, and doesn't say ALL included, and a photo shows the kind of box included, still seems pretty legit. Those boxes were still around, and I see many newer watches where the store employee's don't even know what size is supposed to come with what watch. It's not like you are buying it for the watch box , and you're not one of those guys that searches sites to save hundreds, or thousands and is really upset cause there was no bezel protector included:(
