Need a little assistance

I was perusing "the bay" today, when I noticed this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/-VINTAGE-51-ROLE...06301912r14709

I dont really know the world of vintage, but it caught my eye, and I wanted to know what everyone thought.... Does it look legit? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

James

Well, apart from the dial maybe having been touched up (as the seller also states), quite heavy steel pitting between the lugs, some signs of corrosion on the gearing wheels and a couple of messed up screw heads, the watch looks fine to me.

Yeah, the seller is a good one, it appears, and this isnt his first Rolex sale. He seems honest in the description. I think i'm going to go for it!

Err buddy...the dial on that Ref 6094 is definitely a redial...

An original Dial of Ref 6094...would look like this...

Note: Case with holes on 1 side only...original winding crown signed "super oyster" "+"...n there is no bezel assembly.
