He's forthcoming about the "cons" of the watch but not sure...

T-Rip · 7 February 2012, 03:40 AM

Looks good to me...Im no expert thats for sure...

so I guess my input is worthless..

mrbill2mrbill2 · 7 February 2012, 08:00 AM

I wouldn't buy it.

rjmarti · 7 February 2012, 09:12 AM

Hes sold a lot of Rolex's in the past. Its clearly a Frankenwatch, I would tend to believe its legit. But Im not sure what it is that you are buying. Is it the 'looks' of a Rolex? Or the 'deal' of maybe getting a SD really cheap ?

You have to go into it with eyes wide open. By the price it doesnt seem to be be bidded up much with 1 1/2 days left to it. i would suspect any new owner would have the same problem down the road if they needed to sell it.

Dan2000 · 7 February 2012, 09:16 AM

It's the idea of a cheap SD!

rjmarti · 7 February 2012, 09:22 AM

If its purely price, then its prob ok.

nauticajoe · 7 February 2012, 09:23 AM

Too good to be true.

But is it really a SD? Or a bunch of mis-matched SD parts?

See thats my point Mr. Bill. But thats just my own personal opinion. Some people would never buy used, and I do. To each his own. Its not for me to judge.

MP5 · 7 February 2012, 09:58 AM

It's some genuine parts and lots of fake

Dan2000 · 7 February 2012, 12:46 PM

I will pass. Maybe go for a modern 16600. Lots in the for sale section here.

Davew833 · 7 February 2012, 02:54 PM

At least he's honest about it being a 'Frankenwatch.'

I don't care for franken watches - the seller clearly states such.

Just me.

There`s no value in a Rolex cobbled together with counterfeit parts,it might as well be a complete counterfeit.In this case full disclosure by the seller serves to inform those interested in a genuine Rolex to stay away.

The important phrase is "NOT all original and has many added parts",which means you would be buying a pile of questionable parts in a Rolex case.

bondtoys · 8 February 2012, 12:52 AM

The dodgy Rolex Logo on the bottom should be red flag enough......

and btw the rust on the rotor center doesn't come out of the blue

Duster · 8 February 2012, 10:06 AM

Seems to have long middle stroke E on case back....
if so the case is fake.

Dan2000 · 9 February 2012, 12:43 AM

With about 4hrs left and nearing $3k, it's way too high. I guess if you're betting that the dial is real + the movement....

Do yourself a favour and take a pass on this one Dan.There are too many unanswered questions with this one and it`s too high a price to pay to answer them.It won`t cost you to walk away now,better that you should wait for something genuine to come your way.

I agree.Anyone buying it is fully aware of it's pedigree and if that's OK by them ,Goodluck.( But not for me!!!)
