Day date magnification looks a little off

Hello

Was wondering on everyones thoughts on the following Rolex day date
The magnification looks off on pictures and I had asked the seller this and he had said that it is simply the pic however I think different..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/171297483411...84.m1423.l2648

also with this watch being a 2006 should it not include a warranty card instead of a certificate of authenticity?

Thanks
Danny

It may just be the pictures as seller has good rating. The watch is a Y serial so it date it to 2003. It may have been purchase new in in 2006. I started seeing warranty card for Z serial which is around 2007.

That watch should come with the certificate and not a card.

The magnification is not correct, maybe it's not a genuine crystal. I have heard that there is such sometimes nowadays.

Ask the seller what he thinks of it.

I have asked the seller and he has stated that it is a genuine crystal however it should have a more in depth crystal if so

I think ill avoid this one, was more preferring the president bracelet rather than the newer solid one

Aftermarket crystal maybe. It comes with the right papers for 2006.

My guess would also be aftermarket parts on the watch... I would keep looking.
