Hey TRF, new to the fourms. Long story short I am in the market to purchase my first Datejust or Daytona in celebration of my upcoming graduation - with this in mind I listed my racebike up on a local fourm for sale or trade and listed I was interested in one of the two watches. Well a guy got back to me and told me he has a Datejust II for trade, no cash needed on my end.

The red flags?
1. No box or paperwork. (claims they were lost in a move)
2. It's been dropped and there is a nick in the bezel.
3. Looks VERY worn.
4. My motorcycles value is only around ~$4000, I know this watch is worth well over $6000 - and I doubt the servicing would cost $2000 even with the cost of a new bezel.

Here are the photos he sent below, hopefully you guys can tell me if I should run away or if its good to go to my local RSC to have it checked out further. I'd just like to not pay to have it checked out only to be told its a fake. Thank you in advance!

Don't waste your time or effort. It's really fake.

You’ve already listed the red flags and there are many. You don’t even need to ask what to do. Move on, there will always be another and likely better one than this.

Awesome, thank you guys! The search continues.

this is probably worth $25 ... you listed all that is wrong with it and more.

Always bad to have CUISINART in you watch photos.

Stainless appliances + granite countertops = Perceived wealth sufficient to own a real Rolex. Don't think this wasn't planned!
