Datejust 116233 Silver Tuxedo fr Jewelersontime on ebay

Hi! Can you please help a newbie out? Does this look ok? Appreciate your inputs. I really want the tuxedo face but can't seem to find a lot of it and came across this one.

Anybody?
I went to an AD and they have a preowned Datejust 116233 Blue Vignette Diamond Dial for $7600. It is in very good condition looks new and just serviced by Rolex. They are holding it for me til Monday so I have couple of days to decide. Good deal or too much? I realized I need to pay tax which is another 7.5%. Of course they discouraged me greatly on buying online.

Pls help! Thanks!

Sorry for my ignorance but what is NOS? The one from AD is from 2005. I saw all the papers and the watch looks flawless. We placed it side by side a new one and they look the same. But the one on eBay is the style that I really like. And besides my husband already has a blue face watch (Tag).

Quite frankly, I would avoid the 'bay at all costs. I think you're better off at the AD.

You have nothing to worry about. I've dealt with them in the past and have had no problems. I have dealt with victor over here. He is a class act

But the particular ebay listing i'm looking at looks ok? I called and talked to kenny he's good with $8k. Wanted to get feedback here from those who have dealt with jewelers on time.

They seem to have a good reputation....ask him for a reference or two and see what he produces, but he's sold a lot of watches on the bay with no issues..

Kenny and Victor and JewelersOnTime are trusted sellers. I have been to their locations in both Newport Beach and Orange California. They provide excellent service to their customers. There have been other posts on TRF about this seller. Deal with confidence. Good luck finding your grail.

Thanks all but kenny sold it instore today before we can even work out the details. He declined my ebay offer of 8k but said he can do 7900 wired. I really like that 2 color face but looks like it is hard to find. Pls let me know if you know someone selling that kind of datejust. Search is on again!

I'd be more than a little leery of doing business with them. I sent them a message through ebay asking for pictures of the reference numbers on the lugs and the serial number (partially blocked if they wanted to), and was told I had to buy the watch BEFORE I could get any pics. Sounds like they have something to hide, and I'll never buy from them.

These guys are real with a store front.
I've bought a watch from them in the past and have not had any issues.
