Rolex DJ 16014 help

Hi fellow RF members,

I am looking to buy my first vintage rolex dj and I came across this Rolex DJ 15014. Not 100% sure what to look out for so wanted to tap on the experience of the members here. The seller is asking USD 2,900 for this, do you think its a fair price?

Any comments will be much appreciated!

Many thanks,
fti

1 question is why does the date look a little small after magnification

Would it be possible that its original but overpolished?

Walk away - the corrosion on the case is the first marker - the aftermarket plexi the second - both of which should tell you the high regard it was held in in the the past

The price is about right for its condition, but when you factor in a much needed service, it becomes over priced

Look around, you could do a lot better ....
