What's your opinion on this Explorer I?
Is this legit? The Rolex font looks a bit off to me. Seller has good feedback but many high price items in feedback history.

I mean the Seller has good feedback but NOT many high price items in his feedback history.
Somehow I can't edit my original post now... Quote:

The band is what appears off to me. The Explorer was never offered with a PCL band. If I am corrent it should all be brushed finished.

Yes you are correct. The band might is not what should be with the watch.
Anybody has an opinion on the watch? Quote:

The bracelet looks brushed and not polished to me...would really be helpful if they had a few more photos. Have you tried contacting the seller to see if they can provide some other shots?

Yes I contacted the seller. No answer so far.
What do you guys think of the dial and hands? They look good to me. Only the "Rolex" font and the coronet, I'm not so sure. Quote:

Awesome, definitely check with the seller and "buy" them first before making the sale. Here's a vid I found of the Explorer 1 which may help with comparisons. The angle in the photo may be throwing things off, but you'll see a difference in the "swiss made" at the 6 o'clock position compared to the one in the video. More shots may definitely help, but it does look good :)

Band style is wrong altogether for the model number described in the description beware of this watch, a newish watch and stuffed around with already, this is not a good buy, what else has been done to it ? , regardless of price I would not touch it.

The head and dial look ok to me - compared them to the same model I own. But the bracelet is definitely polished or fake.
Not sure I would bite - you can get similar deal on Exp I here - especially if you consider the bracelet that is incorrect for the model. These models go for around 3500 to 3800 here with correct bracelet. Thread carefully. |

The bracelet has PCLs - wrong for this watch.
