The date window is super crooked, he's photoshopped the hell out of the first two images, and it's overpriced by a grand.

Wow those links next to the clasp look in poor shape. I'd pass based on that.

The seller has incorrectly listed the watch as 16220. If it's legit, it's a 116234 (based on the white gold fluted bezel and the polished centre links).

He lists diameter as 34mm...that would be an OP Date. A DJ should be 36mm or more.

Not exactly sure what "Tradesy" is. All I can tell you is that even with the super low quality photo in your link above, it is immediately obvious that the dial on that watch is fake. As far as it being in "good shape", there is simply no way to tell with those bad pics.

I will say that if it's the same vendor as the one in the OP's link, just consider the level of workmanship and "attention to detail" than went into installing the crystal on that watch, lol. A blind person with mittens on could have probably done a better job. YMMV...

No... it at least appears to be a 16234... 116234 would have the hidden clasp band and thicker polished lugs... anyone can high-polish center links on any Oyster band.... either way, this listing is a mess, vague, and incorrectly classified.
