Does this rolex look Authentic
Planning on buying my first Rolex. I asked you guys for a watch I considering buying to that and some noticed some details that made me contact the seller and in the end pass on it. Here is the one I am considering atm. Does it look authentic? Is everything as it should be?
Thunderbird with 18K rotating bezel in white gold. ROLEX cardboard box, ref no. 16234 Certificate with the corresponding serial number. ROLEX 20mm jubilee bracelet with x1 extra link Great service in 2008 and 2015: glass, crown and other parts that have been replaced are included. Great condition with hairlines from regular use - box, link has never been polished. |

I’m no expert on Datejust so I can’t help you there.
I will say this though ... buy the seller. If you’re hesitant, don’t move forward. It’s easier to find another deal than it is to get your money back from a bad one. |

Is buying from an AD out of the question for you?

Can't get a new turn-o-graph so no AD. But I think you should be asking this on the watchout sub site.

Is the reference number for a ToG of that era 16264 and not 16234?

The watch pictured is either a 16234 with a ToG bezel added or a 16264 with the wrong paperwork.
Either way, not correct, keep looking

The reference should be 16264 for the Thunderbird Turn-O-Graph .. It best to remove the watch bands on both end and check the case reference number and serial numbers to see if it match the paper work.....
