All of the OP's threads are "I'm looking to buy this xxxx" then is followed by images of fake watches. There seems to be an agenda here, perhaps. ![]()

Not sure what's worse, the fake dirty watch or your camera.

Thanks
Thanks for your insight. Appreciate you sharing your wisdom.
I actually didn't buy these pieces. They are pictures from the seller's listing. I am still new to buying Rolex watches and I try to get them from a reputed seller with all papers + box, when I can. However, if I am not sure, i.e. buying without any of the original components, I'll post the seller's pictures here and see what you all have to say. It's like a second opinion in a way. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. |

You’ll save a lot of time just buying from one of the top sellers here. It’ll cost you a few more buck, but for a $10-$25+ piece, who cares? You know it’s a legit piece you’ll enjoy forever. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you have to ask if that movement is a real Rolex movement then you need to stay away from Rolex sales…

any grandpa angle on this one? it'd be quite telling if there's a touching, interesting backstory of how he saved for and acquired this beautiful gen1 YM in the 60s (while working in the auto industry,) savored it/proudly wore the heck out of it and finally decided to pass it down to a deserving grandkid?

I agree 100%. My 96 year old grandmother knows that watch is fake. Maybe spend a little more time researching the brand before trying to commit to purchasing a several thousand dollar timepiece. I think someone is just bored or trying to have some fun. I think there is definitely an agenda here.

fake for sure, the movement, the casing, the dial, and the strap are all wrong.
Be careful out there.. |
