Can someone help me authenticate this Rolex?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=221022536830

This will be my first Rolex purchase and I thought there had to be a hologram on the case back? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

I'd stay away from that aftermarket dial if I were you.

Why would you stay away from the aftermarket dial? Does it appear to be authentic to you? I negotiated the price to $5900.

The whole point is that "afermarket" is not authentic. I wouldn't spend that much on a watch that Rolex will consider fake. You don't even know what lurks inside the case. If it is your first purchase don't waste your money on an ebay seller. Pick a trusted seller here - at least you have some clue of what you are getting into.

my 2 cents.

Wait and buy one with a genuine dial off a seller in the for sale section. They come up periodically.
