Not according to this guy

I always thought Rolex made their own movements, not according to this. I'm no expert but something just isn't right with this one. Hologram seems to be photoshopped and not very well either.

You are both right, Rolex only do the DD in Y/W or P gold.
Also they do use theirown movements.
I see that the seller hasn't got any feedback, as they have only just joined ebay.
My advice, give this one a miss

Pity Rolex never made one like it.

Genuine Non-Rolex Crap with an ETA Movement to boot. It is no longer for sale as it was tucked in his coat today and sold on the street for $50.00.

I think the Day-Date comes in platinum too.

The guy has a Daytona for sale too:

Either stolen pictures or this is a real looking fake.

This guy is going for the big score. He has about 15,000 pounds worth of stuff advertised. Look at his other offerings. A 1, 1.43, and 1.75 carat diamonds, Day-date, Daytona, a Devon Tennis bracelet. I guess make one big hall and run fast...

I reported the Daytona.
If it's only waterproof to 30 metres then it is not a Rolex.

Real photos? That's as genuine as a 3-Dollar bill!!

The model no. on the back says 16233 which is actually the model no. for an older TT DJ.

This one's pure crap!!
