Hi all! Looking to purchase this Rolex Speedking for $750 from an ETA Swiss Trained and Certified Watchmaker. Really love the watch but wanted to see if there were any opinions on if its a good watch to buy for the price and if its even authentic. Thank you in advance for your replies.

Watch looks fine and that is certainly a reasonable price especially if he has serviced the movement. I would ask him to maybe use his bezel press and snug the bezel to the case...shouldn't have a gap.

I have a little '55 Speedking and love it! It doesn't get a lot of use but I can't seem to part with it. It is strong. I love it on a NATO and I would love to try it on a Bund strap.

For that price you can't go wrong. Such an underappreciated line.

Hey Rennfahrer so I didnt end up buying it. Had no idea that it was that small. Guess I need to keep searching for the perfect vintage Rolex!
