Second opinions before I purchase

I know, I know, EBay should be avoided like dog crap but I'm looking at this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371779211300

As a Christmas present for a family member, I'm after a second opinion really, Seems legit from my glancing but a more professional opinion would be better.

Thanks in advance

In the US, that would be a lot of money for a 34mm. Especially with no bracelet. It SEEMS legit, is attractive, has been polished rather hard.

Part of me wants to hold out for something to drop on the forum I must say.

Not a deal killer especially but the buckle is fake. On a real Rolex the tang will never touch the crown. There are other tells as well (shape of crown, stampings etc) but that is the most obvious.

I had my doubt about that strap, I'll try and hold out for one on the forum to be honest with you

Although I quite like this beauty https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201722451772
