Icon7 Gold DayDate

I have a litle ad going, saying that I'm buying rolex watch in my little country and this is one of the offers.

It's supposed to be from 1991.

I did some research, it seems to be 18238, the prices on ads are around 10.000$ and higher..

But I'm new at this, what would you experts say about it's worth and authenticity? (it comes with box and papers) I don't have more photos at this time.

It would be great to have golden DD, but I'd rather buy used one + hulk instead of new DD. :P

Looks ok to me, others will chime in, need more pics of other areas though, price could be negotiated down a little

10k is about right if in good condition. Looks ok but we need much better pics to verify it. Photos of the clasp markings, case hallmarks on the back of the lugs and in between the lugs serial, model etc.

Looks good. Would need extra pics of the hallmarks x2
As David says, price is about right.
If it is pink gold (not sure based on the pic) price is even better.

Thanks to all who took time to check it out.

Lots of pics now, my AD says it's ok, but just in case, I don't want to be sorry later.

Cyclops is not cloudy in real life, it's because of my lights.

If crowncollection says it's good - it's good.

Enjoy the watch.

Looks good but 7-8 would be tops in that condition.

Everything is fine, and it should be as it's an AD selling?

I took it to AD to check it, didn't buy it from them.
