from the pictures you posted I would not buy that watch.
it may be bad angle shots-or just a bad watch,hard to tell but its highly questionable.

The box/tag appear genuine, and probably the band, but the photos aren't the best. The head is hard to make a call on due to the quality of the photos.

I'd recommend you take it in to a Rolex dealer and have it checked there. Good luck.

Gents,

the quick heads up is appreciated, i would have to make a 2hr drive to collect etc so i will maybe pass on this one (save my petrol - as that is nearly as expensive as a watch these days!)

thanks again

probably a wise choice,its not worth trying to save a few bucks if you might end up loosing quite a bit from buying a forged watch..
if you want a really good deal on one that you know is 100% authentic just pm me and I will give you a great deal on a watch.
look forward to hearing from you,
steve
