Authenticity rolex 16570 polar
I have been offered to buy a 16570 polar 2004 mod without box and papers and i have some concerns. If i compare the picture of this watch to pictures of other 2004 models, there are some differences. The space between the writing "oyster perpetual date" seems further apart than on the other watches i've seen. Plus the font looks a bit off. But i really don't have the knowledge to tell. What does the rolex experts think? Legit or not?

Ask for a photo of the movement. I dont think this model was faked too much, but its always best to check. This model also had lots of dial variations and changes for some reason.

This is the only "good" picture of the dial. I doubt that he'd be willing to open the watch to take pictures of the movement unfortunately. I just think it is strange that the writing on the dial is different on watches from the same year

When in doubt, turn around and leave. There will always be Rolex watches available, never rush.
That's what I say. Can't tell much from the photo but agree on the spacing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Just looked at my polar 16570. Spacing is definitely off for yours, especially between Perpetual and Date. But who knows....

You should buy from an AD if this is your first Rolex

Just don't buy it if you are in doubt.

If you go on chrono24 and sort by year there are 28no. 16570 from 2004.
About 5 have the same spacing as yours. Am not an expert, do not know the reason, so I am not guessing! |
