Thats a very nice watch. I cant speak to its authenticity though. I looked at that same model this past weekend at an AD . The list price on that watch was ~ $7000 in Denver. I generally expect a 5 - 7 % discount from my AD, but others will differ. Just about break even on tax. So, I would say a good deal at $6200. Im a newbie to Rolex collecting, so listen to the others comments.

Wow! $4,500! It's hard to believe that watch has lost so much value in only five months.

Those pictures look authentic - all the stickers are the right shape, in the right places - the new DJ's come covered in them to prevcent scratches - wore my TOG for nearly a week before I noticed a couple I had forgotten to remove!

Looks fine to me seller has excellent feedback,one of my favourite dials
but not a great lover of gold watches.You could most properly get the same discount for a TT at local AD with a bit of haggling
