? for the Experts, is it legit?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

I've analyzed and analyzed the pics, and it looks very legit to me and the serial # matches the time frame he purchased the watch in. The watch has a 7 day return policy so I was going to take it to my AD to be sure, but after hearing all the AD horror stories, I figure I'd ask the experts. Thanks!!! BTW, first time poster here.

Weird it says "quartz movement"......sure it isn't......but if it is then it's a fake with no doubt

Welcome to TRF! We hope you enjoy participating in the best Rolex Forum on the Net!

Based on the photos (not the best in the world) and the included description, as well as the answer to the inquiry sent in by a prospective buyer, I would say that it is legit. There are the mistakes in the listing as mentioned in this thread, but if the photos are of the watch for sale, then I would say it is OK. I would ask if the photos are of the watch being sold.

Yeah, I agree Allan.....I just thought the description was a bit funny.....probably been "tweaked" from a previous sale or something......it does look ok to me too.....just couldn't resist pointing those to errors out....sorry....halloween daft mood....

Yea, his descriptors he picked from the ebay picklist are a lil off lol, but the description matches up and the serial seems appropriate. I have yet to see a good fake with an authentic looking warranty card, so we shall see I guess.

I think you would be OK to bid on this watch, if you are so inclined.

Thanks to all!!! I stumbled upon this forum when I was initially researching making a purchase in Jamaica last week (looking for a savings), but unfortunately the one AD on the island had just sold their last LV, so I resorted to some ebay browsing. I must say this site has been very helpful, and I look forward to becoming a regular here. Thanks again!
