Help on New Datejust ii Purchase

Hope you all can help me out. Made an impulse buy on eBay and immediately got buyers remorse thinking I may be buying a watch thats not real. Can you guys help me out before sending over payment? I have attached some pictures from the listing. Thanks.

An inexperienced person in watches should not buy a Rolex off eBay.

Unfortunately, I cannot help you with the authenticity of your watch.

Not necessarily inexperienced but rather have other opinions prior to sending over payment yet. But I do understand what you are saying. Thanks though.

post the auction link so we can see the copy and seller details.

they matter because pix are just pix and many on ebay are lifted from forums.

Thought I was making a mistake but I guess I need a moderators approval to post a link. Only took me 3 attempts to notice. Oops. Pending approval link on the way.

Pretty sure that's right for this model.

I can't see the ebay listing but I doubt this is a fake.

Through the link even though the listing sold, just click the picture of the watch and it will take you to the original listing

Watch is good, lume color difference is perfectly ok in this piece, but buy the seller first.

Thanks for the responses. Been in contact with the seller and definitely feel good about the deal now. Was able to speak to the seller and get more information than just the listing.

Buy first, ask questions later: bad practice.
