1st time buyer - help me out.

I'm looking to buy my first rolex. Please tell me what you think:

Good price? Real? Seller look Ok, right? How low do you think I could go on the price?

Well watch looks fine in general ladies watches don't command the prices of the gents models.His feedback looks good but quite a few just for hang tags I would ask him a question about the bracelet don't think its original to the watch but has Rolex clasp.If he replies and it all checks out he is open to offers well thats up to you but around $1200 I would bid and there is nothing unique about the watch.

The Seller is good
The price of the watch is high, has NO DATE ....and it is..........OLD.
Like a 4 door Fiat 124 with 400.000 klm. on the odometer.

I guess if you must have this-UNIQUE (indeed) wristwatch....$900 dollars is plenty.

good move man71(your real first name would be nice to add).
the man who posted above you, Anastasios, Tempoking, is a real expert, and you would do well to deal with him or other trusted sellers on TRF. Remember, buy the seller not the watch!

good hunting!
