Looks real, but $27???

An EBay Datejust.

The band is fake, but the watch itself looks solid. Opinions?

They admit that, so I'm at peace with that. How about the watch itself?

Why? Excluding the band, which they admit as fake, why.

Look at the bezel (its' inner surface edge) where it meets the case. The point about midway down between the crown and the bottem of the bezel. Looks to be pitted. Gold does'nt corrode or pit.

I don't think the head is legit.

The dial and hands look wrong.

Here is what it should look like --> http://www.rolexreferencepage.com/articles/11.html

And now the original auction's gone so I can't compare the two. Makes it hard to learn.

Casey,

You can host the images on photobucket (or wherever you like) and link them here..... so even if the auction is pulled you still have the images stored .... for educational purposes.

It's a little more work but worthwhile.
