It looks suspicious to me

Any help from the experts?

Dunno Frostie

If it's genuine, it's an awful low price.

WTF is it? LOL!!!

The case back looks genuine and 6034 is a valid Chronograph model #. The picture of the movement in the auction looks just like the picture I have of a 17 jewel movement that has a reference # of 72VZH.

But the rest of the watch is a train wreck. To my knowledge the Milgauss was the only anti magnetic model of Rolex. My bet is that this is a Frankenwatch....and to stay away

Thanks for the info Allan

I could be wrong but I think Rolex made an antim agnetic chrono like this. I remember seeing a pic somewhere a few weeks ago. I'll try to look for it.

Items 2, 3 and 4 here are vintage Rolex Chronographs from the mid 1950's with Anti-Magnetic on the dial:

Since the watch at the auction is a vintage timepiece is it normal that the price is so low? I am just trying to learn more on how to spot fake vintage rolexes

I stand corrected on the Anti magnetics

That would be cool to see for sure Paul. It's just that coronet looks so odd

robm · 15 February 2008, 12:17 PM

Here is one that looks very similar (price is € 26.800 what is that in $?):
http://www.hampel-auctions.com/en/71....html?group=28

But I did find a bunch of replicas sites that sells the same model. The one above is in horrible shape compared the ebay watch. I vote fake. Price is way too cheap. A Daytona from the 70s sells for $50,000. I can't imagine an older one would be cheaper.

This is the one I was think of Allan. Not a Daytona, just a chrono

Nice find

I will vote for fake too just because of the price difference

robm · 15 February 2008, 12:29 PM

Ok, I found an identical watch on yahoo's auction for $360.00.
Sotheyb's has one up for auction (I suspect it is real :^) ). They expect to get $66,000. It's looking more fake to me.

stevemulholland3 · 15 February 2008, 01:26 PM

I beleive the price is low because of that calibre valjoux movement.I have heard that they are not very popular and do not pull very high prices.I am pretty sure that dial is redone and there are more than likely aftermarket parts.but it is most definitly real rolex,at least parts of it that is.
