Rolex DD 18038 Legit Check
Hi all,
I'm semi-new to the forum, I've lurked for a few months and I'm finally ready to purchase a DD 18038. However, I do have some questions in terms of the watch I want to buy. The seller is willing to do $6.5k - is this a good deal? Also in terms of selling in the future - I was told this watch may be pretty hard to sell, is this true? Because I do tend to get sick of things pretty quickly. First off - how are people's feelings about the bark finish vs. the smooth finish? I do LOVE the yellow gold - but not sure of someone's perception of the 'bark' finish vs smooth on the band. Also - if 'bark', does this still constitute the watch as being OG? Because from most DD's, I've only seen a smooth finish. I do think I like bark more - just wanted to know if it's a 'cheaper' look. Also - can anyone tell me about stretch? Seller says it's a 3 on a scale from 1-10, 10 being the worst stretch. I know this is apparently a very big deal and I don't want the watch to be stretched which ultimately comes down to melting the watch in the end. He has also a authenticity card from IWA and also states the fact that the diamond bezel is FACTORY. I have a very difficult time believing this. He does not have papers/box, but can provide a different one and the authenticity card. I don't particular mind the OG box / papers, but I do buy and sell shoes so I do know the gripe without having all OG everything. How can one tell the authenticity on: The hands? The glass? The bezel? Anyways, here are some photos: AND THE KICKER |
