Real or Fake

Seriously though, unless you absolutely love this asthetic, I would save up a little longer and get a more modern Rolex. A used Explorer, OP 39, or modern air king are very modern, versatile, and durable every day watches. I think you will have less regrets to get something super awesome in the 4-6k range than to spend nearly 3k on this watch but not really scratched the itch or made yourself happy.

I think 4-6 is low for and Explorer or a current Air King.

for $2750 you can dip your toes into the Rolex world and likely make a few bucks if you decide you want something else. seems like a no brainer to me. price is right and that watch is as original as they come.

The watch is genuine. If you like it - buy it.

At 2750, I would probably jump on that. At 2500, near certain. Cool funky DJ w Box and Papers...pretty cool to me.

Very annoying and frustrating when people with no knowledge feel the need to instantly comment and claim fake

Yep - and it will always happen. Always.

I have that reference, exactly the same, including the bracelet. Sure wish I had the full set...

Price is right and as long as the seller can be vetted, it's a no brainer. Buy it.

Looks a nice Classic Rolex to me with full set - I’d buy it.

Thanks guys for your comments, negative or positive it all mattered. At least you took out time to post your opinion. As you can see the country code suggests that the watch was purchased from Saudi Arabia. It seemed legit to me as the guy selling it claimed that he had purchased it 31 years back when we was there. I am still trying to push for a better price as he wont get more than 2400 if he sells it to a dealer(may be less). Fingers crossed.🤞🙂

Looks good to me! Not what I’d normally go for but very of it’s time. I believe the gold engine-turned bezels are uncommon.

To the OP, it looks real and it’s a good deal. Why negotiate to save another $200? If you like it, grab it. If you think you will enjoy it for years you won’t care about the few extra bucks. Never lose a deal for 5%

last time I put a cheap rolex up for sale, seemed everyone offered 1/2 of what I was asking which was $300 more than a dealer had offered me. I just figured it'd be a quick easy sell locally. someone ended up beating the dealers offer by $100 then said he wouldn't be able to get it for a few weeks but if I could hold onto it for him he would take it. I put it on ebay that night and had it sold 2 days later for 15% more than I was asking locally which covered the fees. I don't understand people that feel the need to lowball everything. It's not like there's a shortage of Rolex buyers out there. and try finding one cheaper anywhere. this watch is less than wholesale

I agree with you mate.

It’s a relatively rare vintage OP with an engine turned, not fluted, bezel. Price is quite good.

My 1968 DJ (1603) has a SS engine turned bezel.

Looks good to me
