Rolex Datejust 16013?

[chris215]

Hey guys and gals,


I came across this watch which I happen to be interested but there are a few issues.

1.There is no Rolex authenticity card ( only box )
2. The dial does not seem to be the original dial from 1987. The 6 o'clock mark reads Swiss Made.
3. The bracelet/clasp is marked 62523h18, which makes sense
4. The end links are marked 558 B which make sense
5. The number and contact information on the b.s. card is no longer available.

I have been staring at this and contemplating it's authenticity but I believe it should be fine. I can see this watch fetching somewhere around $2800 conservatively . I just want to hear your thoughts on the watch and see if it a)price makes sense b) if its even authentic.

Thanks

Spoke to the original seller. The plastic casing was removed and a sapphire crystal was added. They also placed aftermarket links on the bracelet ( real bummer). This is starting to look more like a $1800 dollar watch.

Check the entire band as those endlinks are incorrect also

Really? Damm they seemed good being the bracelet doesn't have lug holes. Truthfully, I would of wanted to replace the entire bracelet but I dont know if that would make any sense on this watch.
