Icon5 Ebay UK - What do you think of this GMT?

Hi,

I am looking at this GMT Master on ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROLEX-GMT-...-/160797693213

I'd really appreciate your opinions on this. Considering the money that's been spent on it recently it seems a reasonable price. Provided that the paperwork is for the watch advertised it's also a good indicator of authenticity?

Thanks.

Based on the sellers low value feedback and his "story" I would only bid and buy after authenticating the watch at a Rolex dealer.

good luck......

Take him up on his offer to meet at St James's Rolex centre. Get the watch autenticated and Bob's your mother's brother.

The watch itself looks ok to me, A bit expensive, but if it has been serviced, then maybe worth it.

The feedback is mostly hidden, but the negatives just look like a misunderstanding or damaged in post...... tread carefully

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback guys.

If I buy this it will be after the service centre confirms it's authentic and that the watch is the one to which the documentation refers.

One more question if I may, have any of you experience of getting a watch authenticated at a RSC? How much do they charge etc.

Many thanks.
