Look at this:

The seller claims it is a D-serial, but it is clearly not so...

diablojota · 7 May 2009, 07:46 AM

I don't know about the serial number, but the box is definitely wrong.

nc42acc · 7 May 2009, 07:51 AM

Looks like it could be a D series, SEL and no hole case. But I am with Frank the box doesn't fit the watch. But I am new to this Rolex detective work so this is all an assumption on my part.

ijen0311 · 7 May 2009, 08:56 AM

my Z SD came with that box, AD gave me the wrong one

idk01 · 7 May 2009, 10:25 AM

Serial is around 2005, box could have been the last of the AD's stock of the old boxes.

nc42acc · 7 May 2009, 10:31 AM

That's right the boxes are not put with the watch until it hits the AD right? So someone could have a new vintage watch with an old vintage box like Jen. I guess this could keep the bidding to a minimum if that makes people suspicious. Could mean a bargain for someone who knows what they are looking at?

Mosco · 7 May 2009, 10:39 AM

quite possibly so!

HoustonRider · 7 May 2009, 11:24 AM

yep. probably from a gray market dealer. Wrong box I'm guessing.

Why take a chance.

But I see your point. It could have been taken as something else.

That is older box and maybe the AD this watch came from had too many old boxes.
D series typically comes with the new box
