Please cast an expert eye over this eBay Datejust
Hi guys, can someone have a look at this DJ and see if anything looks off?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rolex-Oyst...item19d8d6388f I'm concerned with the date magnification (and the font also) does it look right? Also does the dial look refinished? Any advice would be appriciated. Thanks. |

The watch dial is original,it is not refinished, called a wide boy dial, replacement hands. There date looks ok, maybe an aftermarket glass hence the mag concern, it could be just a bad angle, common on an older watch, it can easily be changed if necessary. You should be more concerned with the corrosion in the midcase, under the seal, I doubt it could be waterproofed without expensive laser welding. There are better examples imho :beer:
