16220 Datejust - Deciding on which to purchase - HELP NEEDED from the experts!

Hi All,

I'm looking to buy a used dJ 16220 from either:

A) Capetown
or
B) WATCH_CHEST (eBay)

I've read here that they are both very reputable buyers.

I'd like your opinions on whom to buy from and also as to why the images look so different.

The CAPETOWN offering states this a silver dial watch though it looks white.

Links below. Appreciate if anyone can assist me in whom to purchase from.

This is the CAPETOWN:

This is the WATCH_CHEST:

I only know Capetown. I'd go with them and think you've picked a great model.

I've checked out Watch Chest in the past and their prices always seemed high. And if I recall correctly, they were selling a number of watches for top dollar and did not include Rolex boxes.

Stay here for awhile and you'll soon trust the top sellers in this forum.
