Hi all,

I'm looking to make my first Rolex purchase in the near future, starting I hope with a Polar Explorer.

I've owned quite a few differend Swiss brands (Oris, Fortis, Tissot, several Omegas including a Speedmaster), but really wanted to get into Rolex, and I really like the Explorer II. I'm active on a couple of UK fora (that's where I live) and WUS, but seemed logical to come here and get involved!

Anyway, I've almost settled on a watch from an Italian seller on Chrono24. Looks like a legitimate business, and some good feedback on here (plus watch).

So to the watch. The seller assures me that it is 100% genuine, but looking at the pics the type on the dial looks a bit heavy compared to some pics (but quite similar to others I've seen). The bezel looks to be sunburst brushed too. Has it maybe had a bit of a polish? The rest looks ok (cyclops, bracelet pins, stack of hands), but I'm no expert!

Here are a couple of pics:

I'm not a stickler for 100% perfection, but it does have to be genuine of course! Condition looks good generally.

Anyway, many thanks in advance for the help, I shall look forward to getting involved more once my ownership begins.

Alex.

Moved to the correct section for such a topic.

As for the watch, the pics are to small to tell you anything.

Chrono24+Italian seller = Beware.

Apols, hadn't realised that the pics were so small!

Thanks for the replies in any event.

Not bought anything yet... but soon I hope!
