cant tell if it is rolex by looking at the thread title.....

"a picture tells a thousand words" OR "this thread is useless without pictures!"

My guess is probably somewhere between 1k and 10k -although perhaps a lot more.

First off, welcome #ed member! The 'T' designates a tritium made dial, so your Rolex is at least ~ 15 yrs old.

Hang on to it longer so as to enjoy the Rolex feeling that one enjoys from owning and wearing a Rolex!

We look forward to your input in the coming posts!

Ha, if that was serious I have a few watches I would like to sell you.

That watch can be had for about $2000-$2500, maybe slightly less, maybe slightly more.

no he wrote it down when i went in it was a little while ago, i metioned i was a member of this site and wanted to post it for sale or something, he gave some info on it after telling me it was a real rolex, he took off the bracelette and looked at it with a magnifier and some other things, i think he checked the movement or something, but he said it was a 1989 model for sure because of the number and letter on the clasp. So there idle quit attacking me already! you are right though about the number

in any case i would like to sell it but it looks really good and if i did sell it i wouldn't want to ripp anyone off not that buying a rolex is a rip off but if i quote someone 5k but it's only worth 1k then i'd feel bad taking advantage of that person but on the other hand i would have pocketed a large hunk of moola jk

Hope she enjoyed her first birthday and second Christmas! Welcome to TRF. Enjoy every second, they do grow up fast. Just hold her and let her fall asleep in your arms. 100 Rolex watches cannot bring you more joy!

However, 100 hot women wearing Rolex watches would come close!

Again, Welcome!

Who's attacking you?

I simply asked you two questions.

You come on here and ask questions and feed us a little bit at a time pretending you don't know anything about the watch.

Who are you kidding.

Here's a picture of my watch.
