Hard to tell, but i'm sure our resident experts will chime in shortly, all I can say is, buy the seller.

Both look fine to me, but I'd probably go for the first one.

Hello Alex

I would PASS on both.

Both dials are redone. Coronets on both are horrible, and to close to the top.

Hands on the first are questionable too.

I would save my money on better original examples.


John.

I'm not Rolex expert. But my advice is, don't buy via net.

If there's ever a question about authenticity in the thread it should be posted in WATCHOUT.

So off we go there.

Alex,

Simple question. If there's even the smallest element of doubt, why would you risk it?

first one is fine,
second one has non-original hands and dial is re-done.
pass on second one.
as far as buying via the net-I do it everyday,and the vast majority of transactions go perfectly.so dont be scared to do business on-line,just dont get greedy and overlook obvious clues that something is not right.

The dial has been redone on both. Not what I'd go for, but it's not like he or she is trying to hide it.
