Hi
During my Trip to Indo, visited one of the old antique stores and saw this
and lo and behold,. was told by the owner its a Rolex.

He said he was offered $400k and refused.
I told him i wanted to look at it. It looked, dont know, legit, i dont know
he said it was given to him as a gift years ago by a Swiss friend

anyone know what this is?
or should I show to an antique dealer?

whatever it is I wouldn't spend 400 000 rups let alone 400 000USD, I could make a better watch myself!!

I would say that perhaps he should have taken the $400k.

Wilsdorf established Rolex in 1905, 100 years after the caseback date.

no offense but it looks like a piece of plastic garbage.

ferrissteve11 · 5 August 2018, 04:02 AM

Given the date is 100 years prior to the inception of the company? hmmmm???

$400k grey market price, probably a lot less at the AD.

jeffgo888 · 5 August 2018, 04:32 AM

Looks like it was made by a high schooler in shop class

Hahaha
Yea...he did take it out of the safe and it looked well, somewhat nice..
But I was confused about the dates and now I know.
He should have taken the $300k.
He said he was hoping to sell it before he dies...I doubt he will even sell it for 50000 rp
