Just wondered if this was a smart purchase last year? Do you think this is something that will retain it's value? Any other comments on it?

Gaijin · 13 June 2008, 08:50 AM

Really depends on how much you paid for it. Most Rolex do hold thier value to a certain extent due to price increases by Rolex.

However diamond dial Datejusts if you are looking to sell are a bit hard to match up a buyer with the seller.

Did you have the watch authenticated before you bought it? Did you buy from a trusted seller? I would take that watch in and have it authenticated and serviced at a local Rolex Authorized Dealer. Good luck.

Mmh.. the crown looks a bit too big. But, like the others said, take it to a jewelry store/Authorized Dealer and let them take a look at it.

Steven79 · 23 June 2008, 01:45 PM

the date looks a little weird to me.

but, im not too knowledgeable with DJ's....

+1, the crown & date don't look right to me either but I'm not a DJ expert. Good luck & let us know what the AD has to say.

Please keep us posted on it.

i have to agree with the replies above",it don't look kosher to me either".

astcell · 30 June 2008, 07:08 PM

The date is not right, and in the top pic the bracelet link to the case looks incorrect.

lorsban · 30 June 2008, 07:19 PM

I suggest you take it to a watchmaker and have it verified.

what3ver · 1 July 2008, 04:04 PM

First thing that caught my eye was the date looked weird, but I agree that the crown looks too big too.

Bassplayer · 2 July 2008, 02:53 AM

Does not look authentic.

I wonder what happened to the person who generated this post? Curious if it was taken in for verification?

I wrote him a private message as he lives in Lansing and I head down there once a month. I was asking if he knew of any authorized dealers in the Lansing area and he never responded. I think he got offended and ran away.

it's genuine. the date is exactly the same as my wife's z series plat ym.

cbsmohai · 2 July 2008, 02:53 PM

Could just be a bad picture of a used watch. However, I don't know about the date, the bezel, and even the font/crown size.

marshallr47 · 6 July 2008, 09:51 AM

Very nice. A lot of "ice". Great looking watch.

doc76 · 9 December 2012, 08:20 AM

I agree with the others. The watch just doesn't look right.

Spirit-V12 · 21 January 2013, 08:25 AM

Looks fine, it´s a ladies Datejust, not a 36mm one.

Diamonds are best when on ladies watches like this, but for men, it would be a bit harder to match buyer/seller indeed. You must love diamonds to wear them :)

Congrats on your purchase!
