Help with Kermit trade



Hi All.

I may be trading my 79 18038 tapestry dial for this Kermit. Serial 3m88fxxx.

I need help verifying this is the real deal and if it is, how much cash should be put on top. Thank you!!

id be very cautious, plus pics are low res, another warning sign

the rolex logo on the box looks off too

Yeah it’s dirt coming off. I noticed in the very first picture the marker trim appeared to be coming off so I asked for different clearer pics sent to my email and received the last three photos.. Sketchy to me as well

That box and cushion looks strange……at very best for a new watch the box is rough and dirty….plenty others of these about to choose from.

Watch looks very dirty. Would someone who know the value leave it like that. I am leaning toward fake.

Trust the seller.

Not sure if its the dial, the photos or what but I wouldn't trust that watch.

But we see you rented a Mercedes so...you decide.

If you have to question don’t do it. Or at least make sure it is verified before
