I was at a local jeweler in Boston and saw this GMT Master. He has the COSC cert and a service box with it. He let me photo the watch, but not the cert. What do you guys think... look legit? Sorry, I don't have better / other pics.

Looks good to me..

chiko323 · 6 July 2012, 04:10 AM

Looks fine to me as well. Did you see anything at the AD to make you suspicious?

nauticajoe · 6 July 2012, 04:13 AM

Looks good. You mentioned 'service box', but do you know when it was last serviced?

Wasn't an AD - was a small-time jeweler in a shared space. I wouldn't say I'm "suspicious" so much as cautious.

Nope. Was just browsing, didn't ask any serious questions.

Agreed

What serial is it

tranny · 6 July 2012, 12:09 PM

No clue. If I go back I'll get more info. I'm not super-interested in the watch... I was just curious.

FeelingTheBlues · 6 July 2012, 12:16 PM

Looks okay to me as well, since it's in a store I believe you may have more chances of being somewhat covered should there be anything wrong with the watch.

nick c · 6 July 2012, 12:16 PM

can't see the number on the date

alexthegreat123 · 6 July 2012, 12:19 PM

How much does he want for it?

pipp · 6 July 2012, 12:24 PM

it's good

MortgageGuy · 6 July 2012, 12:55 PM

Seems ok to me too from the one pic

Hairdude1 · 6 July 2012, 12:57 PM

Looks good! See what S/N. Also does it come with original papers?

andrew79 · 6 July 2012, 01:16 PM

looks ok to me.

Z-Sub · 6 July 2012, 01:45 PM

hard to tell but I'd say it looks ok from the outside

Andelain · 6 July 2012, 01:48 PM

Do you know how much he was asking for it?

George Ab · 6 July 2012, 03:20 PM

Why do you ask? I would think that something is making you suspicious of the watch, yet you are not interested in it...interesting.

yshaw20 · 6 July 2012, 04:23 PM

I'm a newbie here, but shouldnt the date window fills up the cyclope more??

Sean.c · 6 July 2012, 04:56 PM

How much was it going for ?

kilyung · 6 July 2012, 07:16 PM

Never mind. Looks fine.

tranny · 6 July 2012, 09:36 PM

They were asking 5k.

Gerardus · 6 July 2012, 09:37 PM

Looks good for me.

Just due diligence, my friend, so I know if it's worth my time to go back and look again.

Thanks to everyone for the help.

The Fretking · 6 July 2012, 10:30 PM

I'm new to the forum but have been studying it now for several weeks, and enjoying it thoroughly I might add. One thing I'm struck by is the seeming preponderance of fakes on the market. Not having been exposed to this aspect of Rolex ownership, I'm amazed at the number of threads devoted to authentication. Are the fakes really that good? I've never seen one in the flesh so I don't have a clue.

cid · 6 July 2012, 10:36 PM

I would think the only way to know for sure is to see the movement. After all isn't that what really matters? Jmo.

topofk2 · 6 July 2012, 11:12 PM

From the pics, it looks mighty fine.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 7 July 2012, 12:10 AM

I am always suspicious of pics that cover the date.

Except the OP took the photo, not the seller.

Can't really judge from a photo; just a bit of angle can throw it off.
