The ONLY place to ask for authentication is in the 'Watchout'...not a reference library!
As for the watch, perhaps genuine, but bastardized with aftermarket parts!

I do not see anything indicating the watch is genuine. The dial is aftermarket as well as the bezel insert. The band could be too, but based on the photos it is hard to tell. Also, they claim box and papers which are not shown in any of the photos.

Probably an original case and movement based on seller feedback and checking out their web site limited watches. A lot of custom parts and you cannot even see if the band is original I would pass.

Thanks everyone else for their feedback. I didnt know if the dial was an authentic Rolex dial or not as Im fairly new to Rolex watches. I saw some dials on eBay that looked the same and assumed from the price they were authentic. I was obviously wrong. I sent the seller an email and they confirmed it has an aftermarket bezel, but they said the dial is factory but they added the diamonds and emeralds. Guess I'll stay away from this one. I just liked the SS w/ the MOP dial and green bezel.  Feel free to close the thread...... |

Looks real. It's just been customized. The dial was changed and then printed on (sort of like some of these overpriced customizers do). Seller says it was customized.
