From the angles of both of the picture, I can't really see the hand stack properly.
The cyclops looks like it has AR underneath it.
Rehaut looks nice and the crown is aligned with the dial.
Can't say if the SEL looks legit.
Not too sure of the Bezel.
Not a Rolex expert but just my 2 cents.
In conclusion: Don't know if it's real.

If those are the only photos, definite pass.

If interested in buying, check s/n with Police & Rolex to see if stolen, then go WITH seller to a Rolex AD for verification.

Otherwise . . . .... another potential CL horror story.

I'd say it looks legit, but there's not a lot to go on. I'd be looking for much better, higher res shots to go from.

Rolex is not going to tell you if a watch is stolen unless you send it in to them for service. They maintain a list of stolen watches, but it isn’t available to the public.

OP - if in doubt, walk away. CL is notorious for fakes and strong arm robberies.

Just on last night's local Phoenix, Arizona news, a woman in need of everyday money for her and her kid went to meet a guy in a public park to sell a watch she had. Selling via some site, not CL, I forgot the name. Was it Letgo or such?

Anyway it seems she has family issues and a difficult time getting by.

She figured it would be safe due to all the folks around, and she was sitting in her car when the guy approached. After a brief intro (she still sitting in her car) she pulled the watch out of her purse and the guy grabbed it and ran off. She screamed for help but no one responded.

The TV news later interviewed her and of course she was extremely distraught, not only about the watch, but also realizing bad things could have happened. Plus she had the young daughter with her.

They never said what the watch model was.

Another story of potential danger of dealing with auction sites and not having too much common sense to begin with.

Gotta be careful out there!

Even if the watch in the photos is real, that doesn't mean the watch you'd be reciving is.

Bezel numbers look a bit silvery.


Could be the photo.

I bet she ended up with $20-30k in donations from local good Samaritans. Once these stories make their way to the masses, my gait in humanity is always restored.

OP, you’re in MD. There are tons of these watches out there. Tons and tons. Buy from a great seller here and spare yourself a disaster.

NO red flags on the photo.
That does not make it genuine, just its not categorically fake
