Opinions
Hi, this is my first Rolex and ive narrowed it down to two now. The one from my first post http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=310144447654
And this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=170331451564 Has anybody had experiance with either of these sellers? And which is the better buy? Thanks |

i don't know anything about either of these sellers, but I do know you couldn't pay me enough to buy a Rolex on ebay. Be very wary of any ebay deals.

But surely there must be some honest traders on ebay, i dont know how to spot a fake Rolex but i'm sure alot of ppl on here. I know ppl on here have a know how and i just want to here their opinions on what to do, i only have £2000 to spend thats why Ebay is my best bet

Err buddy...welcome to the World's best TRF's WatchOut forum...
The listing descriptions stated the watch is loaded with Aftermarket parts... Brand: Rolex Model : 18K/Stainless Steel Datejust Gender: Gents Model #: 16013 Case Size: 36 mm Metals: Stainless Steel Movement: Rolex Automatic Caliber 3035 Band: New Custom Two Tone Jubilee Dial: Custom Silver Roman-Edge Dial with Diamond Markers Bezel: 1CT Diamond Custom Yellow Gold Bezel Crystal: Sapphire Diamonds: VS1-S1 Clarity and F-G color Warranty: 1 Year Mechanical Comments: Fully Polished w/ box and appraisal invoice. You would have the toughest time to sell that watch...next time. Also Rolex Ref 16013 has Plastic Crystal...originally. It would seem that the crystal had been converted to Sapphire glass... NO GOOD watch to buy with your hard earned monies...if you ask Orchi again... |

Both have refinished dials..... I would not buy.
eBay is good for buyers with experience and significant knowledge of Rolex. |

...BOTH the dials...
...are refid as the seller acknowledges.
...if you dont mind, then go for it. ...just remember, that Rolex will NOT work on it without you agreeing to a costly replacement back to ORIGINAL. |
