First Post and first Rolex!

I purchased this on Ebay from a relatively trusted source. He has a 15 day return policy. It had the box and the white sleeve, the tags and the plastic on it. A sales receipt and a appraisal from the store. However I'm still paranoid. Please take a look and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

Relatively trusted and yet you're happy to send him large sums of money. I can never get my head around this.

My advice, take it to a watchmaker to have it opened and verified. No matter what he charges it will be nothing compared to 100% peace of mind




Oh, and welcome to the forum

In these circles, TS = Trusted Seller and OP = Original Poster

On topic, if in doubt have it cracked open!

if it is still in the plastics it is even more a peace of mind as the plastics are nearly invisible what from what i have learned in the past half year of searching this things is only possible done by Rolex the rehaut looks perfect the engravin on the bezel looks exact the finnish of the steel the clasp closed,open it all lines perfect i am no expert by any means , but interessed in this subject too nd this watch is genuine.

No red flags
In my opinion GENUINE.
Only a movement photo can 100% confirm, but I think good

No alarm bells on this piece based on these pics but the ultimate test is the movement. That being said you’ll comprise the water resistance havingbit opened up. For future reference can I strongly recommend you do some due diligence BEFORE paying thousands to a complete stranger. Consider yourself lucky. Maybe not so lucky next time so heed the advice you get here.
