Icon5 Rolex Oyster Gas Escape Valve - HELP Recognize the Real One
I am planning to buy a Rolex on Craigslist and these are the pictures the guy sent me, can someone please identify if its a real rolex or a replica. How would I know? Any help is really appreciated.
Thank you.

Here is a link to photobucket album of all pictures

Go to your nearest Rolex AD and get the latest sales catalog.

If you can find that model in it.............buy it.

I wish Rolex made one that looks like that.

thanks for the response...
the problem is I do not have a Rolex authorized dealer near me, the nearest one might be around 300 miles away..
so I guess I should not buy this watch...
I am buying it from craigslist so I just wanted to make sure, seeking experts help from like you guys.

I know what you mean, Rolex can't afford to have an AD in a small town like Dallas.

I actually am from out skirts of dallas, so the nearest Rolex AD might be a drive to Houston, or San Antonio...

The guy selling me said this was an original one, he even had an Omega SPEEDMASTER Broad Arrow... but thanks again to you guys..

Is there a way to check the authenticity of Omega. I can get the pictures.

I wanna give my dad a decent watch as a gift, but can't afford a new one. So the worry is I do not want to give my dad a replica/fake one, thinking as if its a real one. At least I wanna know what I am paying for.

Jumbo if you are not pulling our legs you should stay away from Craig's list. Those watches are so fake they are even trying

Got it...! I saw those watches for $150 each, so I thought why not give it a try.
