That bracelet looks like it could fall off your wrist anytime. You can do a lot better for that kind of money. Look for a newer Datejust or an explorer or. Submariner.

5k is beyond ridiculous for that watch. I wouldn't even pay 2k. Pass.

Dial is not original, those usa bracelet are looser to start with, it also stretched I done agree its as bad as some others as it is an oval link band, however it needs michael young restoration to be nice

Everyone is correct. Also I want to add you should do much more research on Rolex if you want to spend that kind of money. Also buy from a seller with very good online sales history. Basically buy the seller and the watch will always be authentic and good quality. As an example look at DavidSW.
