Please check if this is genuine - Model 116234 /w Diamond.. ** many photos **

I just received this, brought from eBay. 116234 with Diamond stainless steel version. I also included comparison photos from my 2 tone watch I brought new from an AD.

I noticed, on the 2 tone watch the weight is slightly less.

The stainless steal rolex weight 115 grams. If someone have the same watch, please let me know your weight.

The watch seems genuine and the previous owner purchased from an AD based on the name from the warranty card. Not sure If I want to bring the watch back to have it check with Rolex. Please take a look... thank you.

not a model I know about, but it looks like genuine Rolex to me, if that's what you're asking...

i see no concerns with the watch from those photos, i would like a clearer pic of the clasp markings but looks ok , can you take the back off and show the movement that is the only way to be 100%.

Unfortunately, I do not have the tools to open the back. I toke some pics of the clasp with my SG4 phone. It is very hard to focus and take a clear shot. See what you think:

Hey guys,

Update

I noticed something wrong on the super jubilee bracelet.



That part suppose to be glossy but it is dull. Not sure if you guys can see from the photo. I asked the seller he did not mention this to me. He did told me it was lightly polished. What do you think?

Someone has over run the brush finish when polishing it, a cape cod cloth and some elbow grease will remove that. Tape off the brushed section first, then just rub.

Thanks for you reply.

The seller said "Ok I see when we refinish a jubilee band , first we high polish the whole bracelet .than we tape the mid links and satin finish the outside links .from what I see in the picture the tape slipped and that link was satin finished.it looks same as the outside link , if you want I will be happy to refinish the band for you. "

That seems like a lot of work. I want to maintain the bracelet as original as possible. Your solution seems doable. I'm not familiar with polishing. What do you think about the above comments from the seller? He said he is also a watchmaker. Thanks for your help.

The explaination sounds feasible but an inspection of the bracelet after polishing would have identified this issue?

He told me to send it back to him and he will re-polish it for me. So I'm a happy guy again. :) Thanks for your help.
