Hi guys, this caught my eye so I had a look, he mentions a serial number but its only 5 digits not 6. opinions?

Here is an used Rolex Tudor Prince Oysterdate Submariner stainless steel divers watch, ref.no. is 7021/0, serial no.is 42309, 100% original & authentic, depth rated at 200m=660ft, watch only no box or paper, the watch overall is in great condition. Case = original stainless steel case body has very light wear with 1 very minor scratch that can barely be seen, no rust or corrosion, all numbers are visable Caseback = original stainless steel caseback has some wear, no rust or corrosion, inner screw thread is good, all factory writing is visable Crystal = original acrylic crystal w/ cyclops is clean with minimal wear. There is one very small nick on the top right of the cyclops Dial = Tudor 100% original snowflake black matte dial is very clean and appears new, tritium marker is still white, signed "T SWISS T" at the bottom Hands = original hands are in good condition without any wear, in good working condition Bezel = original thick font bezel insert is clean with minimal wear, rotating divers bezel is in working condition and can be turned bi-directionally Movement = original Tudor signed automatic movement is in running condition; alternated red / black date wheel turns correctly; was cleaned by licensed rolex dealer 2 years ago and been kept in running condition. Keeps perfect time. Winding crown = original Rolex signed single lock screw down winding crown works perfect, can wind and set time Band = comes with a non rolex band but with original pins. Band is very good quality and looks much like the original TUDOR band

...I have seen and OWN one...

...with a 5 digit ser# (76100).

...I believe that the EARLIEST productions in a particular run had the 5 digit sn's. BESIDES my own, have seen several.

Yeah, I'm definitely learning a lot about them as well. Just through this Watch Out section.

I am particularly intrigued by this one. It's stunning with the red date wheel. Although it does look like it may have been overpolished.

Is the assumption made that because the end links are not correct the entire bracelet is counterfeit? Considering there is no picture of the clasp, could it not simply be an aftermarket replacement with no Rolex signature?
I hear this all the time... but I have a genuine 93150 from about 1977 that has aftermarket end links... I just dont see the point in paying $200-$250 for the end links, when perfectly functioning ones can be had for $50.

Im not trying to be confrontational, just trying to understand the reasoning behind calling the bracelet "counterfeit".

The guy does state that the band is not original and is not a Rolex/Tudor band. He is forthright about this being non-original.

I bet you flip that band over and you would see a Rolex crown..... (and why it is shown clasp down)

Tudors are awesome.

Why an issue with the band when the seller states it is not original/

Also his post was cleaned up and states the serial is 742309

Sold for $2200???
