ROLEX OYSTER - can you please help to authentificate
Hello everyone, I am complete newbie here and a newbie with Rolex. So this is my very first piece, bought yesterday as a pre-loved, certified off Ebay. Can you please look at the link? I would like to hear your opinion whether it might be auth or not (any red flags?). TIA
ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL Lady, bought in 2000, made aprox. middle 1999 (according to its serial no.). http://www.ebay.de/itm/320908734972?...ht_1224wt_1270 |

Many thanks for your time :) Well, I have been on Ebay for years, so I completely understand your "seller point". Well, there have been so many fakes around, so that to be little paranoid comes simply naturally. There have been 2 things those made me little crazy about the purchase - the bezel looks little different from the regular fluted ones I have ever seen on Oyster, and the color combination (which BTW I really really love) is not really common - the watch is all silvertoned, while the bracelet is the only part with yellow gold... It might be just my inside 'alarm'.

The watch looks good to me .. It is possible that the previous owner had the bezel changed .. It is not uncommon to see a aftermarket bezel on Rolex watches .. Perhaps you can find a factory gold bezel if you ever decide to change it back .. Welcome to TRF .. Enjoy your new Rolex

Get pictures on a specific time and your name on it to see if he actually has this watch.

BTW ha sold these JAEGER LECOULTRE couple days ago - his pics were taken on exactly the place, and in exactly the same way as the Rolex. And received FDB already. Along with the rolex, he was selling couple more timepieces - as long as I remember - Breitling, and Omega. So will wait and see his FDB. http://www.ebay.de/itm/320901652705#ht_1081wt_1270 |
