What are the odds???

http://cgi.ebay.com/MENS-ROLEX-DATEJ...item3a56a92468

It's a 116233 and it's serial # is R162333?? With a band with that much stretch? And why block out the name of the jeweler who appraised it???



What say you, Rolex experts???

...I am not an expert, but all looks good to me...

...that appraisal could have been prepared for the seller OR one of the previous owners for INSURANCE purposes.

Jongs Jewelry (770) 623-1010
3571 Satellite BLVD NW Duluth

There are plenty of nice places to eat and shop, plus new car dealerships. I don't know The store, but it is expensive to rent. All new brick strip malls cover the area. There is a Hennesy Jaguar & Land Rover dealer close to that.

The seller appears to be some sort of pawn broker. Coins, tools, knives, used vacuum cleaners, cheap watches, and other pawn type stuff??????

I'm not even questioning the "valuation" but the fact that the serial # is SO close to the model #. I'm wondering if it was either doctored by the seller or the Jeweler doesn't have a clue.

It just seems odd. Looking for confirm if I'm jumping at shadows. ;)
