Rolex DJ II 41mm - 116334 - before buying - a question

Hi, I plan to buy this rolex 116334 today. I see the seller in a few hours.
The watch only comes with box. No papers.
I enclose a caliber pic done by the seller.
Could you confirm is everything ok with this one and it's not a fake?

the seller has a huge watch collection incl. j-l, pp, and panerai.

Thank you for your help.

M.

I'm no expert but it looks good to me. Now, words of caution; how are you sure he's going to bring that same watch? Who took the back off? Has it been pressure tested? Where are you meeting? Are you going to get it verified before exchanging funds? Have you asked for references?
Always buy the seller, best of luck

Thank you to your reply. He is a neighboor. He proposes me to write a sell contract. I have one concern, the movement is a 3135 and normally should be a 3136?
In addition, the s/n starts with H on 8 digits...is it correct?

Regards

Try and meet him near an ad to have it verified. See if you could check references also before meeting. From the pics it looks ok to me but I'm not a pro.

Just what I was thinking, will you have the chance to have the watch authenticated?

If you had to ask this question obviously you are concerned about the seller. I would not buy it from some one like this if I was uncomfortable.

That's a 3136. As for the caseback being removed, 99% of the time water resistance is probably fine when removing/replacing the caseback. However I'd still get it water resistance checked.
