What do you guys think of this one?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Submariner...3A1%7C294%3A50

Two things I noticed:

-Calls it "M" serial, when it does not appear to be one ( no rolexrolex on rehaut)

-The pearl looks a little questionable especially in the first picture.

Also, there is no 16610 on the green sticker...is this normal?

What do you guys think?

Looks suspect to me as well Matt but I am far from an expert. I do live within driving distance of their location and have sent an email asking if I could inspect the watch. I will let everyone know if they respond.

One major thing I noticed:

Quote:

No paperwork or box, but I assure you this is authentic. I purchased the watch about two years ago at Finks Jewelers

Of course, you could take his word for it!

As the seller claims, the watch was purchased around two years ago - still being an M series.

IMO - I do not think Rolex had completely integrated the Rehaut into this series, thus you can see these models without the engraving, as well as with the previous green decals... LOOKS OK!

I will let the experts chime in...

I think it looks fine, but if there is ANY doubt, why risk it? There are plenty of second-hand LVs on the market these days, it's not that tough of a watch to get your hands on.

And personally, I would pay a little more to have the box, certs & tags included...you might not think you'll need it today, but I guarantee sometime down the line you'll be happy you bought one that included everything. Good luck.

I agree!

Oh, I wasn't going to buy it. I was just looking out for my fellow rolex lover.

...altho I am in the market for an LV if anyone can point me in the direction of a good deal :)

Keep an eye out on the For Sale section. Also, you can post a WTB for the specific model you are looking for...

Looks real. No one purchased it. It would have went for $4,100 which is an excellent price. It will be re-listed.

No "M" has a green Hologram.
