Why contemplate a purchase on one photo.

Pass until you have more to go on.

Jack, the number one rule here is to buy the seller. Know the person you are dealing with. There are too many bad people out there looking to find a mark with an inferior/counterfeit Rolex. Educate yourself and good luck.

Would you ever buy a used collector car through an ad and not take a closer inspection in person or through more photos? Just be cautious and take your time.

papers are suspect for sure and the watch who knows - not worth the risk - move on down the road
