Happen to be given an offer of rolex 15505
I m a newbie in this and is trying to get help for veryfying the originality, version and the price however much i can from the forum.
I find a lot of different version of the 15505 from the internet.
The price is about 1100 usd (no papers and box) which i think is pretty good price, but is it?
However i am hearing a much louder ticking noise from the watch compared to my datejust, submarine and deep sea. I can practically hear it without putting the watch close to my ears. That is not a good sign i believe.

These are the pictures i took from my phone.

I appreciate any help

Thank you

Looks good to me, spend your 1000 on a full service and it will be like new and probably make less noise at that price it is a bargain.

Is that a gold bracelet?

That is a fab looking watch. Personally, I would check its authenticity at a RSC and then, if all well, have it serviced. Definitely a keeper!

Thx for the replies,
The owner said that everything is the way he bought it firsthand so nothing is changed, not sure if its gold bracelet or just gold plated. However the back of the bracelet is not steel, but gold color.
I also opened the bracelet and on the 12 o clock lug theres written "orig rolex design 15505" and on the 6 o clock lug "8126738".
Anything else I should do to check originality?
I am just worried on the overloud ticking noise. Is wondering is it because the glass is not sapphire but acrylic? Or is it even original?
Anyway im planning to change the strap, I think it better if its leather strap.
Thanks guys
