I’d never buy a watch like this. No matter how cheap.

Well I'm not buying from eBay though, I'm trading something.
Why wouldn't you wear it, the only think they have done to the original is add diamonds to the dial, and I read lots of people customize rolexs like that. Of course no will fix the link in the bracelet and put the Rolex bracelet back on. It does look terrible with the one on it now. |

I'm assuming that this will be your first Rolex. Do yourself a favor, save a little more money and at some point buy one that you like (which can never be with this one).

You’ll regret buying that POS down the line. Wait for the watch that speaks to you, unless this abomination is speaking to you, then run.

Although some have a knee-jerk reaction that "they wouldn't wear it", that is not a literal meaning. They really mean that they would not add that to their stable of better watches. This is a watch that is worth (as a Rolex) half of what the asking price is.

They haven’t just added diamonds to the dial. At the very least the dials been fully repainted and then diamonds added, or more likely it’s simply an aftermarket dial.

You're basically getting an old modified watch head. I think its worth about half the asking price too. |

Aftermarket parts, incorrect box and bracelet, not in good condition, crappy pictures. If you want to throw 5K you are more than welcome to buy it. Please don’t cry!

Ask yourself: "When is a Rolex not a Rolex?"
It may say "Rolex" on the dial, but the addition of the aftermarket parts makes it anything but the fine timepiece that the brand reputation is built on. Do yourself a favor and hard pass on this: even at half that price, it is not a good investment.

You can find a much better Rolex for that money. Just my .02 PDG |
