Rolex still makes this TT model. Why not buy new?

Based on those three pix it looks ok but there are so many other questions to be answered at the price point.

I can not tell from the pictures provided. I am not a fan of personal sales from people I do not know. I would find the watch through a reputable dealer and minimize worries.

Please don’t do this. Common watch. Many well known sellers with impeccable reputations everywhere. Just spend a couple extra bucks to buy from one of those people and sleep knowing you do not potentially have a fungus growing on your wrist

Looks gen to me but wouldn't pay without asking for in depth video, and a facetime to ensure it's actually his watch.

While I agree that it looks good from the pictures that the OP posted, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment of this post but the visualization of the fungus comment derailed me for a moment and made me legitimately laugh.

Update: The owner of the watch asked me for a deposit before meeting him to see the watch. Here I began to doubt him and his intentions, especially since he was offering it for an amount less than the amounts shown on eBay.
I refused of course and deal is canceled

There was one here in April that may be exactly what you want - and from a trusted seller.

I normally confirm the serial number on the card and watch, check if it matches.
