Weird.
A lot of times when you want to get a very rare watch, the AD will tell you "I'll sell this beauty to you if you buy another abc and xyz together".

A guy wrote in another forum that he got 2 Milgauss GVs by:
1. buy a 3 carat diamond, a Patek Philippe 5712/1A, and a GV, and
2. buy a white face Milgauss and a GV.

If you are not sure 100% don't buy it.

If you don't know is better to pay an expert.

Good Luck.

I trust Sphereman. He has made sales here and those buyers have been happy. I believe its authentic, but I just need that "piece of mind" (as everyone has been saying). And I can also use that to back up my statement that Sphereman is an awesome seller.

Buy the seller not the watch.
Do you know him
Any reputation or feedback
are they willing to have a full examination before buying
any paperwork

Any doubts on your part leave it alone. There are plenty out there.

The watch has been authenticated. The transaction has been made. I am extremely happy with the Sub Date.

Authenticate the dam thing, then have piece of mind that your rolex is real, and not a fugaze (I hope I spelled that right or my uncle Sal will kill me). P.S. make sure you see the Ser# with your own eyes, so there will be no mistake in the future. Don't even take the jewelers word for it. He should show it to you with out even asking him. Good Luck, take your time, and don't get ripped off. Peace

Pix will be up in a few days. I need to find a good enough camera to show the beauty of this watch. But I'm pretty sure everyone can imagine it already It's not like anything has changed for the past few years for this watch.

Sphereman hooked it up. It is a great watch and also stunning. Watch was brand new, and was authentic. Here's a +1 for being a great seller. Thanks Sphereman.

Why was this watch not legit with a Spain country code?

Have it authenticated before u buy. Money well spent. Its either be cheap now feel like a fool later, or be smart now and feel good that you were not taken for a fool.
