New to this but wondering if anyone can point out to me the issues with this watch. Initally sold on ebay and returned. Now informed that the face was redone and bracelet not Rolex. I did speak to AD and watch was serviced a year ago. Appreciate insight.

Since there seems to be questions to the authenticity of the bracelet and the dial not being original why would you want to take a chance...it has been returned to the seller once already!!!

That one looks real bad, the condition isn't that good and the dial looks fishy. I would look on the forum, here's on my brother just got from Steve M.

I wouldn't risk it. No returns, and bad pics, plus it was already returned.

Would you pay that money for a case, and movement?

Keep saving, and the real deal will fall in your lap!

That looks like crap. Acrylic crystal...fake band...clasp doesnt look real to me either. I wouldnt take a 2500 chance. I paid 4000 for this one, and its in excellent condition, with the original box, papers, ect.

That thing is a dog. I personally wouldn't consider it. There are nice watches to be had so get a good one with original parts. Incidentally, if that bracelet is fake, it is most likely gold plated. Run!

Thanks for the input. I guess what confuses me it that it wa serviced by Rolex ( per call to AD) and I would think if one does so it authenticates the watch since it is my understanding they will not service an altered watch.

Looks like a smacked arse... get Steve M to source you one. good luck

I don't see anything that would indicate that this watch was serviced by Rolex..

The box is easily come by and the paper it is photgraphed on is absolutely wortheless.......

That bracelet seems stretched beyong usfull lifeand a new bracelet is almost 4 grand to replace............ there are probably much better examples out there...... this one is one I would pass on...

Are those hour markers right ?

I had spoken to a salesman at Kruckemyer & Cohn and the watch was serviced about a year ago. That it was why I was wondering why there were some issues with the watch. Once again appreciate input
