Steve:

It's a "Y" series watch. Is that not an original box for that period?

The box is counterfeit. It is the most commonly counterfeited Rolex box. The pillow is cloth, not suede and not wood lined. Also it is missing the suede wrap that goes with the pillow. I'd stay clear of this watch.

Reported. Thank-You John for giving some feedback. The watch did not look like some that are obvious.

I got stuck with one of those boxes once, the guy swore he bought a genuine sub that came in the box from a reputable dealer in Miami. He had since traded in the sub for another Rolex. He was adamant the box was genuine, but I refused payment and gave it to the service center. I would never recommend anyone buy a Rolex from a photo that comes in a counterfeit box. Bad karma there!!!!!!!
