That photograph is insufficient.

If that is all you have I would forget about it.

The price seems too low to be true. I would have serious concerns.

Its not about the photo of the watch, but about who is selling the watch. If this is the only photo you have been given I would tell the seller to get lost and walk away straight away.

Agree, that price sounds very low, specially from a store. Buy the seller!

These days you can never be too careful. I would ask to have it appraised and checked for authenticity through a reputable source.

A picture is just that a picture and although its looks genuine that don't mean that's the watch you will get if not from a reliable source.And when prices seems too good to be true in general that's what's they are, it is that simple buy the seller first then the watch.

You said store; which store....

Vladdy diamonds?


heheeh


I've pulled triggers on too good to be true deals, but only after authenticating.
If its not local and you cant see it, run like the wind.
Or just pay VISA and see what happens.

Do you have AMEX? I think they protect purchases like that.

I'm always a little skittish when the terms "gen" or "rep" is used.

I'll go out on a limb and say it's fake. Image Googling the Datejust II 116334 shows that same watch and dial out there, faked, pretty commonly from what I can tell.
