Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and must say I am impressed by the amount of knowledge offered with unexpected friendliness. I thank you guys in advance. So here's the deal, lost my 16610 and I am looking to replace it. It is ment to be a daily watch and my job is not a desk job. This watch will b banged around, wet, dirty etc. Therefore the appeal towards a DLC watch. I do understand that Rolex will not service the watch but I trust I can find (here) a proper place to send it when time comes. I have priced similar watches from Time & Gems but at that price point I rather buy a new one with original parts, warranty etc. So I found this one on EBay (which seems like a bad idea already, right?)

So I would value all opinions, let me have it. Am I stupid for wanting a Franken-watch with poss non original parts? No service history, not even history and quality on the DLC....Is this even a reputable/trusted seller?!?

Hmm. Let's get some more experts in on this one!

Fake bezel. I'd avoid this one.

Bad bezel and the end links are terrible...fake fake

Could some of the experts check out the other rolex for sale on their ebay site.

IMHO, no PVD - get a watch head and go with a NATO

That was my original choice until I came across PVD. Thinking of a no date Sub 14060.
