Does this look authentic? And does anyone know the reference number?

Thanks!

Yikes. So sorry. I thought I uploaded photos.

Sorry they don't show too much and are poor quality. I had to really shrink them down for them to fit the file size allowed.

Pics aren’t good enough to tell. However I don’t recall “Swiss made” on any dial that old. Also, there’s literally zero percent chance that the box pictured is original to the watch.

The bracelet is definitely wrong for the model at best.

It’s a reference number……4? But seriously, what do you think it is? What’s it supposed to be?

The shop seems legit but the bracelet is totally wrong. A 15200 should have a folding clasp, not a hidden clasp like the modern Jubilee bracelet. The clasp in your photo appears to be that of a later bracelet which to my knowledge does not fit a 15200.

The watch itself likely has aftermarket diamonds.

This is a period correct clasp…

Franken Watch. Box being totally wrong makes me very skeptical. Would not buy this one.

Not a single photograph in focus. It could be a turnip for all we know.

As a general rule of thumb: If someone can't post photos in focus, then run. They're either an idiot, or hiding something.

It's reference number 1500. If you look up the seller la Jolla jewelry and loan they have this same watch, five available . Five sold. On eBay right now.

It says right in the details. Generic Rolex box included. Generic red and black leather strap and generic Rolex jubilee bracelet. Diamonds customs added.

The reference number 1500 is for a late 70's oyster perpetual date watch with a black dial.

The eBay seller is selling the watch for $4995

Unless you like it for what it is walk.
There is little value in this abomination for watch lovers.
5K might sound like a deal but it isn’t.

$5000 is quite steep for whatever that is.
