taking quality pics using a camera phone is challenging for many people.

[junamuan]

the pics looked filtered on purpose to hide something?

[THC]

People often need to off load a Rolex for financial help in their rough times... nothing wrong with a great deal if done right. Do it right OP

[shaunylw]

I can’t understand pictures that bad. Walk outside, pull out Iphone, take picture.

Walk the other way, save your self the stress

[Pacc12]

i will pass

[Michigan_State]

I‘d go for it.

[lenfried29]

looks legit to me. but don't take my word, authenticate at reputable watchmaker if you can.

[J!m]

I’d want it in hand personally.

Could be fine.

Could be a franken.

Could be a fake.

I believe the dial and insert are ok. Flat 4 which was predominantly on early tritium dial models but this seems to be a luminova. No rehaut engravings so older than the M serial posted in this thread.

Throw the strong possibility of a service or two since the late 90’s and parts very likely have been changed...

I’d want it in Hand personally.

If you have no clue or idea please dont post

The photos were send to me and trying to help a friend that has not an idea on Rolex
Instead of helping out , you judge a persons ability in the 60s who tried to take photos of the watch in question
Its not nice or polite to behave like this guys
It shows a pretty low level on every scale

you will need to also take close-up pics of the case after removing the bracelet.

As I said photos were send to me
Were not taken by me but thanks for the guide how to take photos using an iphone
The last posts just shows me that some users dont even read the OP thread just go in find something to discuss irrelevant to the thread and behave as mature as college student on a spring break

Outside parts look ok
But what if you open it and see a chinese movement inside?

Buy the seller or meet face to face at an official dealer

That was my advice to him
He will take it today in just to be sure
Thank you for the input

[bayerische]

If you can meet F2F, and have it checked, it's a deal of days past!

This post sums it up. Even if the “need a quick sale” spiel were true, the asking price could be achieved and then some by selling to a grey.

I share your desire for politeness to reign on these boards. However, are you suggesting that it’s beyond people in their 60’s to hold a phone steady and press a button? That’s somewhat insulting to older people isn’t it? My folks in their 70’s seem to manage just fine.

Of course, there could be plenty of reasons why a person can’t take good photos that have nothing to do with age. However, if you’re in that position and selling a second hand item worth thousands, then it’s your responsibility to make sure the photos are decent. It’s not that hard to find someone with a steady hand to do it for you. There’s a reason why virtually all the watches in the “Watch Out” section are out of focus and it ain’t because the sellers are all old age pensioners.

I gave him the advice to check a few things
Take off the bracelet checking the SN etc
But as others said ,looking inside will
Solve the issue

In the contrary I am suggesting respect in forums as you are not
Aware who is taking the photos, what is his age or what else might be going on
With his health etc

I dont see it such a big deal if a photo is blurred

A simple <we need better photos> is sufficient not posting the posts some people are doing
Some people have Rolexes for 50 years
I have never seen an agreement on this forum or with Rolex that if
The photos are not as they should be it must be taken to
The Level of Discussion is taking place right now

But if you consider owing a Rolex
And taking good photos to be hand in hand
Well I have no more words......sorry
Once again a thread diverging away from the point

Outside looks genuine

Depends on the movement now

You are inferring something that I very clearly didn’t imply.

If you are putting up that first pix as an example of a good one then you should have gone to spec savers.

Does that say swiss made on the dial?

[Sandpit]

If 3k euros is your budget buy another brand or get a datejust. That’s not sub money

Do you think there is much worse you can do on a watch forum than come on with blurry crappy photos and ask is this real? It is REALLY ANNOYING so don't complain when we complain, just take it and have some bloody gratitude as people here are trying to help you, and if you can't then go away and help them yourself if you can which you can't.
