A non-original, 100% original GMT

[springer]

Here is a 1971 vintage GMT advertised as 100% original by the seller on ebay. The auction reads that everything on the watch is original. If you are about to spend $16,000 on this watch, you should know that the band depicted on the watch wouldn't be made for another 10 years after the watch was made, therefore, at least, the band isn't original. Also, it comes with a 1978 Rolex calendar, and a 1971 purchase date on the warranty paper. Another confusing, vintage Rolex on ebay. Watchout for this one, better yet stay clear!!!

...buckle folding clasp does NOT bear the 78360 stamping...most likely a buckle from a 7836.

...therefore, a FRANKEN band.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention John. A watch to steer clear of.
