Advice before making an offer please

Looking to buy a Chellini 4112 for my daughters uni graduation and birthday.
Like me she prefers elegant watches and had seen a fake Rolex Chellini in Turkey a couple of yrs ago and can't get it off her mind. So, I was hoping I could get some advice on the watch before making an offer.
The asking price is approx £3500. Does this sound a fair price. If he accepts my offer price I will ask for pics of the internals to confirm if genuine before parting with the cash.
Thanks

Overpriced is my thought....Cellini is the correct spelling.

Many thanks for your reply and correction ref spelling.

My fickle daughter has now thrown another Cellini into the mix, it's a 18K 4112 with 31mm dia face priced at £2057. Could younor any. Other forum members give me an idea of a fair offer price.

Its hard to give an evaluation with just a single picture but the price on the second one is probably closer to what its worth based off of condition. Again, the picture provided is inconclusive.

Thanks for your input Matt. Unfortunately the other pictures provided just show the watch in various positions and don't show any markings at all.
I will ask if they can send pictures of the internal workings and inside of the back cover. Any suggestions of other questions I can ask to confirm its authentic?

I have a lady's 18ct gold Rolex Cellini for sale in my Shop window with original certificate for £695...a lady's Cellini strap watch in the multiple thousands range sounds expensive, as this Collection is not quite the hottest seller!!

I've attached a couple more pics but they don't show a lot. The seller is Michael Brors und Nicole Schneider-Brors a jeweler in Düsseldorf Germany, who appear to be professional people. However when asked for pics of the watch internals they say I will have to wait as they don't employ their own watchmaker and it may be a couple of days or longer, by which time my opportunity to buy may pass. They insist they do not sell fake watches and guarantee its authenticity. The watch has been cleaned and verified by their watchmaker. It has paperwork with it but no box.
PS..can't seem to upload more than one picture at a time??

As stated above, price seems high after seeing pics. Did you talk to Mike Wood about his offer? His, with paperwork sounds like a bargain

I dont think the watch is on his web page. Its in the window of his actual shop. He will likely send you pics of it.
