Rolex buying situation

[allanb10]

I like the look of this Rolex, just thought I would get the opinion of some other forum members. Datejust 18k/ss jubilee band pyramid dial roman numerals. http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Datejust-w...QQcmdZViewItem

I wouldn't buy it off e-bay. Here's a very reputable shop that has great customer service. I've got no affiliation to them at all but a few of my friends have bought from them in the past an love them.

Agree with the guidance of going to a reputable seller. This 1990's watch, while advertised as being worn a few times, has clearly seen the daylight more often than that. For example the green sticker on the watch back should have a number indicating the model, etc. it has worn off or the sticker is not the original one.

I wouldn't touch it. The guy has a 88 rating and only has 2 sales in the last 90 days. I can only pull up one that is a Nintendo. He could have gotten this watch as a fake and not even known it. Many fakes on the bay.

This alone would preclude me from dealing with this seller.


As for the watch, it may well be the most ubiquitous watch style in the world, a million+ units made by Rolex, ten times that in knockoffs.

The white Roman dial is my favorite Rolex offering.

Two-Tone Datejust is a Classic Design, but I wouldn't buy it off Ebay. If you are going to spend over 4k, you should buy it from an Authorized Retailer, and get a 2 yr warranty.

Hi,
I'm looking into buying a rolex from the website:
www.thefinestwatches.com

They seem to be a reputable online dealer, and they have prices that can't be beaten by store dealers.

Does anyone have any advice regarding this site? Has anyone purchased from here?

Thanks!
