John is correct. As I stated earlier, the watch in the photos is good. The early inserts were a slightly different shade of green. Oval "O", etc. And, I own one.

I'm not saying it's fake.

But, the crown guards look off to me.

In the 6th pic the date window does not fill the cyclops.

This is a hard one for me.

Therefore, I would pass.

When you see it......

Take a hammer to the back of it, and then smash it really hard.

If the seller faints.................IT"S REAL !

The olive green inserts can be found in some Z and M LVs; I haven't seen one that early but that doesn't make it a counterfeit. I'd open the case back and be absolutely sure :)

It looks good to me.

There are some things that you need to confirm in person, but as for the photos, I think it's real.

Even if forum members says it looks good, I would still take it to get authenticated. Photos can only show so much, and the quality of some fakes is extremely high. Why risk several thousand dollars on a watch if you aren't prepared to pay $200 to get it fully checked out? Don't try to save penny's on something that could possibly end up costing you a lot of money!

The pics are not important. You get pics of a real one and get a fake watch posted to you. The credibility of the seller is binding. When i buy a new or used rolex, i want to be able buying it in a closed box.
If the seller is genuine, the watch is genuine... ;)
ps 200 for checking the watch is idiotic and a cheap attitude of the dealer.

Of course it is not a dealer where i buy a rolex from, if i'm a strange and bring a watch to them and get them check it, i'm sure that they will charge...
But 200 usd is too much

Hello,200 USD is quite high rate compare to here in BKK(around 90-100 USD) but if you still have a question, so let clear everything beforehand otherwise the worst scenario is on the probability to occur.

You could get a black bezel for around USD$200 depending on conditon right here on the forum. Puffy/anders sells them.

It's easy to install but if you have any doubts, take it to a competent trustworthy watchmaker.

Are you kidding?
It's genuine and beautiful.
Also the insert, look at the pearl, and put it side by side to a rep insert.
No fake inserts have that correct pearl.
