He should have bought the battery before listing it

You know what's funny is that it looks like the real McCoy. It probably just does not run as it has been beat to death by years of abuse and lack of service. I don't think he knows what he's got.

Any others agree?

I was thinking the same thing, Terry. It could be a fairly old model.

I recall having lunch with one of my young associates one day and he was shocked that not all watches were battery operated. He was amazed when I showed him the exhibition back on my Glycine.

I'm almost tempted to bid on it to see if I could really get a bargain.

C.J. · 25 March 2008, 04:04 PM

It's really hard to tell from the pics. But that actually looks fairly decent

2careless · 25 March 2008, 05:38 PM

It looks decent, but if it's not working, the movement may have problems. Budget in another $500-1k for service cost.

stevemulholland3 · 25 March 2008, 05:42 PM

my first thought was not,but after a closer look-maybee-but then again,he says on a message below that it is as-is and he doesnt answer an authenticity question.
sounds like you will just be throwing your money away.this guy has a lot of feedback,do you really think he wouldnt know if it where rreal?
you tell me.....

How about the side view of the bracelet links, looks like junk to me!

It didn't. Especially that band. The quartz watch is very different. This is a first generation $10 fake.

erwin · 26 March 2008, 04:20 AM

The guy had 765 deals on Ebay! I am pretty sure he knows what a Rolex is and how much they are worth! I think he knows that it is a fake! On the other hand, it looks like he is trying to pry the caseback open with a knife by the look of the scratches!

Chozn1 · 26 March 2008, 06:55 AM

Oh dear god, please tell me this was one of you guys with this little exchange in the Q&A sections towards the bottom...

All of his sales are in the penny ante range. Nothing I saw was over $50.

It may be the real deal but with a Jubilee bracelet someone put on it. Obviously, this seller is not the original owner.

robm · 26 March 2008, 07:37 AM

Was a DayDate ever made in SS? I thought they were all Gold, White Gold, and Platinum.

robm · 26 March 2008, 07:39 AM

It also says perpetual on the dial. Perpetual = mechanical. The DayDate Quartz says Quartz on the dial.

stevemulholland3 · 26 March 2008, 08:38 AM

yes but I think since it isnt running he just thinks the battery is dead.it probably starts ticking when he moves it around(hence the perpetual)but he just doesnt get it..
I dont know-I am torn on this one.

Defiancekofb · 26 March 2008, 08:53 AM

The font on the dial looks way off. Something tells me that this watch is fake.

Now I am really tempted to jump in on this one! Just maybe to satisfy my curiousity!

Could be a win win situation though.....or not!

This is the worst fake i have ever seen, LOOK AT THE DIAL, LOOK AT THE WRITING ESPECIALLY THE "ROLEX"

stevemulholland3 · 26 March 2008, 10:45 AM

so whos going to buy it then so we can know for shure?
I will throw in a hundred or two,who else can throw some in and we will flip it if its real..
better figure it out quick.

robm · 26 March 2008, 11:17 AM

It's at 325 with minutes to go. Let's check back on this one in a week or so to see the feedback. As far as I know Rolex never made a SS DayDate. This one is SS, with brushed lugs, and holes.

robm · 26 March 2008, 11:19 AM

Unbelievable! It went for $770! Ouch

stevemulholland3 · 26 March 2008, 11:33 AM

seen that.the buyer is a collector who buys a lot of watches.I will write him and ask that he notify us when he receives it.worth a try.
