Oyster Perpetual 39 mm please check!

Hello,
im ahead of buying an oyster perpetual for 5,300 euros. It is dated 2017 and seems quite good for the price. However, it is my first Rolex, so I would like to hear your opinion on it. Maybe you can spot something strange.

I would like to use it as an everyday watch, but would like to sell it in 2-3 years to buy a datejust as an everyday watch.

Box and certificates are included.

I actually wanted to buy from AD, but they just put me on a list and said they didn't know how long it could take (up to 1 year).

Do you think the price is fair?

Looks fine. However, the pics are obviously from Chrono24, but have had the watermarks "whited out" for some reason. So, as always, buyer beware / buy the seller...

I'd want to know about why the watermark was poorly edited out. Why couldn't the seller use the non-watermarked originals.

You have to be extra careful when buying a 114300 without prior comprehensive inspection. The existing superclones of this model are optically almost indistinguishable from the genuine watches.

Ask the seller for macro pictures of:
- Rehaut engraving
- clasp / clasp code. Avoid watches with clasp code „7UM“ and „3NY“
- movement. You will want to see a single regulated 3132 parachrom hairspring

A couple of points concern me
My advice - proceed with caution.
This model is the best counterfeited Rolex model

At that price why not just go through AD with zero risk

*missed the part about a 1yr wait, seem excessive for this model though

The real question is WHY take the water marks out? if these pics are from a reputable source, then what's the issue? If YOU didn't remove the watermarks- then i'd be a little concerned...

I removed it. Didnt know if I could share pictures/link here.
its offer "8OZTB6" on chrono24


I am a little bit concerned. Since I heard about these super fakes. I am thinking about that some jewelry store sell these fakes without knowing it.

Yes, would love to buy at AD. But they were like really uncertain. I'm now on 3 lists, but all said they don't know if it would take days, weeks or months. However, they said it is a model that is not so often requested, so I might be lucky.

Price is not that good - you should be able to get one from another AD in way less than a year.

Just wait for an AD to call you off the list. The only benefit you will get from this deal is timely possession with too many possible negative outcomes.
