I have doubts. Experts?

It might just be me. But I don't think I could ever buy anything of substantial value especially a Rolex off of eBay.

Looks OK from here. However, there is no guarantee that would be the watch you'd actually receive.
The only way I'd consider an eBay purchase of that amount from such a low-feedback seller would be if they were local, and I could pick-up/inspect it in person before paying. Otherwise, no way. YMMV...

Run away fast.

I wonder bout serial....i just bought new and is has 6 digit no letter FYI. I know u can't see in the pic but one thing I noticed with the cyclops they never use as a way to tell if fake but I notice on real is that if u look at watch from straight above the date always looks high in position. It's like they make it like that because you normally look at date from angle which positions the number in centre

What?

[usrudiver932]

On the warranty card. Shows 8 digit serial number of which one digit is a Letter. I Thot Rolex went to random numbers as mine that I just got from dealer only has 6 digits and all are numbers

Hmmm...

maybe some pics of your new watch will clear this issue up

Err, is the "serial" you are referring to something like 116200 or 116610?...

This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available.

No if you look on warranty card above it says Serial above the 116610LN model and is listed as 2464Z898, just new to Rolex I Thot they went to random # 6 digits

Mine 406xxx
Numbers only and 6 digits

[CanRolexGuy]

Are those same 6 digits engraved in the rehaut of your watch at the 6:00 position?

[usrudiver932]

Yes not sure if the do 6 o'clock under bracelet like older ones, will try pix of rehaut after work if I can figure how to upload. Plus same number on warranty card

May need a closer look with magnifying glass. Random s/n are 8 positions of numbers/letters. So perhaps the leading characters, or tail end characters are letters and that may be reason you thought it was only 6 characters long.

Scroll down to the serial numbers and see some pics of valid random numbers cards.

It says SN406xxx in rehaut and warranty list only 6 numbers. I just assumed the SN was serial number. Maybe I got a screwed up number that might make a collectible not. And the watch is from an authorized dealer

[usrudiver932]

OK I just ran this near serial number on Bob's watches serial number lookup and Inc. the S and N in it and it says 2011 2016 so I guess it is part of the serial number just odd I guess. But still the warranty card only lists the numbers

Post a pic of the card and rehaut. Something is not right.
Correct Rolex serial is currently 8 random alphanumeric characters, and it is identical on the card and the rehaut.

[usrudiver932]

Can't figure how to upload to forum but my error is says Serial: SN406773 so as I say just thought SN was serial, sorry for mixup. How do I post pix anyway

So what you have is a random serial number. And it could have been made anytime from late 2010 onward. We've strayed so far from the OP's question that I suggest you start your own thread to figure out serial numbers. Not a rant, just sharing in the spirit of communication.
