Looks real from the photos, but no pics of the box and papers, and the price is quite high. The ad is too vague for me.

Hey AL7273, I think we talked before, Man, don't buy Rollies in Dubizzle you are asking to get taken, there are way too many good fakes in Dubai lately. If you don't really really know your product is very easy to lose your money forever. Remember Dubizzle is not ebay, there's no such thing as buyer protection and operations are cash. If you want to get a cheaper rolex go to Deira and haggle a bit. At least you'll have an invoice and a brick and mortar shop to go back if the watch has a serious issue. Keep in mind that a lot of sellers know very little about Rolex and they mix and match parts as they go. Wether genuine or not youŽll encounter many frankens around. For this people faded bezels imply vintage even if the dial says swiss instead of t<25. Beware and good luck.

Also keep in mind that Dubizzle prices are usually over market price. Stick to the forum, it will be cheaper than anything here in the UAE.

Good luck.

The problem you have in this part of the world is that they don't value vintage, Its just an old watch here so sellers will try and make them look younger. Everytime I look in local jewellers they usually say they don't know the year or I have had them blatantly lie to me and say 2/3 years only when I know for a fact its probably closer to 10.

yes I think so and yes agreed with Dubizzle...i would only buy from the ADs here. i have been in to Momentum in Dubai - it is a really cool store but they have never had in stock what I wanted.

They work by getting the watch you want. Usually pieces are a bit high but you are buying "confidence" more than anything else.

Search in the forum, I don't think all users had a good experience with momentum.

Have fun searching =)
