Hi, this is my first Rolex and ive narrowed it down to two now. The one from my first post http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=310144447654

And this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=170331451564

Has anybody had experiance with either of these sellers? And which is the better buy? Thanks

i don't know anything about either of these sellers, but I do know you couldn't pay me enough to buy a Rolex on ebay. Be very wary of any ebay deals.

But surely there must be some honest traders on ebay, i dont know how to spot a fake Rolex but i'm sure alot of ppl on here. I know ppl on here have a know how and i just want to here their opinions on what to do, i only have £2000 to spend thats why Ebay is my best bet

You would have the toughest time to sell that watch...next time.

Also Rolex Ref 16013 has Plastic Crystal...originally.
It would seem that the crystal had been converted to Sapphire glass...

NO GOOD watch to buy with your hard earned monies...if you ask Orchi again...

Are these ok and if so which is the best buy? Thanks very much for all the help you guys have given me so far

Anybody? Before auctions end??? Haha thanks

Both have refinished dials..... I would not buy.

eBay is good for buyers with experience and significant knowledge of Rolex.

So what exactly should i be looking for then? Where is the best place to buy pre owned Rolexs from then?

...are refid as the seller acknowledges.

...if you dont mind, then go for it.

...just remember, that Rolex will NOT work on it without you agreeing to a costly replacement back to ORIGINAL.

Why not buy from here? Or go to a authorized Rolex dealer?

There is a certain value to buying something you know for sure is the real deal.

re-done..... It did not leave the factory like that.

Generally, to be avoided.

As i said before, i only want to spend £2000 max and the only place i'm going to get one for that kind of money is Ebay i think
