A veteran eye over this one if you please chaps

This one has got me going...
It's exactly what I'm after...if it's the real thing.
Initial opinions please guys - I'll naturally arrange an AD verification but it's a 180 miles away so a wasted journey that can be avoided would be great. There are some very big photos of it so that would indicate nothing to hide but being a newbie to the Rolex thing you never know.

The price seems a little steep - opinions on that too would be appreciated.

Here's the listing...

Thanks in advance,

Looks good. However, as you mentioned, it certainly isn't being offered at much of a discount. Maybe throw an offer at him thru eBay and see what he says.

Or, FYI:

Yeah, the "buy-it-now" is £3,995.00 which is about $6150 US, so it's not that far off.

You have to buy it from a "sympathetic" seller, or you end up paying a lot of import duty, wiping out any savings.
