18238 Day Date Gen or Not?
I'm looking to purchase this watch and am supposed to wire funds tomorrow. My gut tells me this is gen, but I still would like some other eyes to look it over. The watch includes an original fluted bezel along with an aftermarket diamond one. Thank you for your opinions.

So at the above of my wife, I was going to walk away from this watch. However, the gentleman selling the watch sent me movement pictures and all looks right to me. What do you think?

The hallmarks don't look right to me. Could be real but beaten up. Maybe there's a better one out there for you.

Yes he did I've saidd it on anther forum, what buyer has not done though is tell seller he did not want it, and I am the seller he told me payment had been sent and like a fool I belived him, he was still telling me on 7th April it had been sent but it had not.
Sent 31 March 2015 - 02:49 AM I'm new. Be nice! Member N/A Positive Feedback 0 0 0 2 posts Joined 2 Months and 2 Days Gender:Male Location:NY and FL Just to confirm, the wire was sent this afternoon. It was in the amount of $5179.57 US quick according to the bank will be £3500 after conversion. My only concern now is the shipping into the states as I was unaware that rolex forbids it. I'm going to speak with a friend in France who is coming to the us later this month. I may have to ship it there to be on the safe side! I'll let you know tomorrow at some point where to ship.

Be nice! Member N/A Positive Feedback 0 0 0 2 posts Joined 2 Months and 2 Days Gender:Male Location:NY and FL I stopped by my bank today and they verified that the wire was transmitted. The bank manage said that of nothing is received by Monday that she will have to escalate the issue. She also confirmed that the longest turnaround time is 4-5 days, which would be today. Let me know in Monday if the deposit shows, if it doesn't they may have to recall the wire and retransmit, whatever that means. This is turning into a headache, I could have flown to the UK by now and picked it up in person. Hopefully it shows by Monday and we can get it shipped out to me.

The seller requested proof of the wire, which I was ready to provide. However, I hadn't noticed that all my vital details were on the receipt, including my ssn, since this was an international wire. It also included my account number, mailing address, and signature. All things that I would rather not provide to some random person on the Internet. It was hard enough to decide to blindly send 5k in the first place. And I have spoken to the seller and did inform him of all these details. If more details need to be brought to light then so be it. I'm still not sure how this guy thinks I was trying to con him, not sure what I would have to gain. It's not like he would have sent the watch prior to receiving the money. If anyone had anything to lose it was me the whole time, I'm actually glad that the wire was rejected as I no longer have to worry about this particular watch. If there are any further questions, by all means ask away! Sent from my SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 EDGE using Tapatalk Pro |

Your a liar! The first time I've heard about this was on this forum, you clearly say on 31st March you were not going to send , I've spoken to my bank and they know nothing about a failed transfer ? And why would they as you have never sent itm you have still not replied on the other forum ao why continue lying? Your not to be trusted simple as that I have over 50 completed deals on that forum where I'm well respected, the same cannot be said for you goodbye.

I cannot see anything here other than the seller being strung along.
Millions of bank transfers done a day and very easy to prove it has been sent without all your personal details being shown........Buyer has not proven it was sent and is in the minute percentile of transfers that get recalled........ |

Many thanks for your kind words that's exactly how I felt, and because of being strung along I lost a genuine sale to a buyer in Denmark who has since bought another watch.
