I have a circa 98 16613 I bought it from a gray dealer he gave me paperwork as well as a receipt from his diamond selling business. I found him on craigslist and I went to his office he had quite a few other rolexes. The next day I found that the minute dial was skipping. I took it to him and he said it must have been loose as he had the crystal on the watch replaced before he sold it...

Ok so now I am a bit sketched out the magnication on the cyclops doesn't seem to be that great. did he skimp and put in a replica crystal... I need advice but if thats the case I am really going to be irritated. I don't doubt the authenticity of the watch because it looks good BUT that has me really thinking. I will try and post some pics shortly.

Impossible to say anything by that picture.

BTW, this should have been posted in the "watch out" section of the forum.

Looks like a FAKE picture.

Very fishy... Why is the date red on a 16613? Have you weighed the watch?

Sorry know one can help you with that poor picture the cyclops is just stuck on crystal. And if it was a genuine Rolex replacement it should have a LEC with a S through the Rolex emblem at 6 O'Clock on crystal as service replacement its very hard to see with naked eye.

I am sometimes asking myself if I have been missing out on a new sales technique which is based on the theory, that the worse the pic is, the higher the interest on the item to sell is.

So far, I was of the opinion, that if I have something to sell, I'll provide a potential buyer with the best possible pics and I am amazed, that anyone could seriously consider buying a multi-k$ watch based on such a crap pic.

It may be, it's hard to tell.

Oh and I'm color blind.

The hands appear to be gold and is that a cap at the center where the hands attach?
