Other than it being in "fair" condition, I can't see any issues...
Got any shots of this dubious box?

You shouldnt display serial numbers on pictures.
This can allow someone who produces fakes to place a Rolex Serial number that is valid. Need to be very careful or am I just being paranoid? ![]() John |

The watch looks good to me- however, that definitely is NOT the box that should accompany it. I'm not making any comments as to the authenticity of the box, I'm just saying it's not the correct box.

The watch looks fine, but the box is definitely not the right one for that watch!
That's an old box, it should have come in a new type box. So they (seller) has had a Yachtmaster without box, and used an old stock box just to get to say "with box". In a way I think you got scammed a bit.

The watch should be okay but I have observed that your 'swiss made' wording differ a little bit from the latest V serial Yachtmaster. Perhaps serial Z and V differ with the '
swiss made' printing. In my opinion, not much to concern. Enjoy your watch in good health! |

Oh ya and of course like all the experts here said, the box is definitely wrong, perhaps to increase its value to those seller by mentioning the watch comes with box and papers.
