thanks for the reply, look at the R though, it looks pretty off to me, very thick. I Dont know, I was going to purchase because he has it at a very good price but something tells me its wrong. |

I found the listing in ebay. It is described as a „16030 with 116200 hour marks and sunburst dial“. So definitely a franken watch if not worse. Are you the buyer?

I did purchase it yesterday without paying attention to the small details because i do know the watch buyer's group and at the price ($2300) it was a very good deal with today's market, but as I looked closely at the watch after i made the purchase I immediately asked for the order to get cancelled, which the seller did and I got a full refund already, so no harm. But there is definitely something wrong with this watch. Thanks for the reply!

Ill advised to buy something that is obviously whack and then start doing the due diligence!

the watch head looks good, but does look like aftermarket steel bracelet. Prob not a fraken-watch the date disc does sit like that at times on the caliber 3035. Likely just a newer dial on older movement. have it inspected after purchase. you have 180 day dispute window if there are any issues.

Defenitely agree and it is usually how i proceed I usually buy my watches from John Batista who is very reputable seller down here in South Florida but usually only sell NIB or atleast newer models, ive been looking for an older datejust because i got one stolen from me a couple years ago but with the crazy prices we all know about it has not been possible. I usually never proceed to buy something like that. It was a mistake of my part clearly, thankfully i did get my money back immmediately.

I have a 16030. The watch itself looks genuine to me (although my dial is different to the photo). The bracelet looks like an aftermarket bracelet though.
