Want to buy this one, but for me it looks too simplified. No crown on clock winder, no text on back cover... Only one hope - Circa - Early 2000's Production. So who can help is that real or not?

First of all, this looks like a stock photo. Do you have a pic of the actual watch?
No Rolex crown on the winder is definitely a big red flag. That doesnt mean the watch is fake, it just means that the winder was replaced. The text in the dial is a new feature, any older Rolex will not have it. The back of the case should not have any text either. If you can get a clean shot of the dial of the actual watch, people can help you determine if its real or not.

The crown should have a "crown" on it... Not sure why it wouldnt. As often times said here on TRF, buy the seller and NOT the watch. With ANY questions I would just walk away

Not sure I see the point of this thread....

Even with my poor and ageing eyesight, I can see that the crown has the coronet on it..

As to the other items, Rolex watches don't have them from the era of the Datejust shown..

As said, it's a stock photo of an older model and nothing can be inferred from it......

How can you "see that the crown has the coronet on it."

Are you looking at pics I cannot see?

OP was just using the stock photo to give us a better understanding of his concerns I guess. A rolex with no crown on the winder? I would walk away. God knows what else was replaced with that watch.

Big thanx to all who answered. As i see there is only one problem - no crown on the clock winder. I will ask the seller about the reason of it.

Looks ok to me but it is just a pix of a Rolex.
