Looks quite heavily worn out. Bracelet links are also chewed as you can see from both sides. The helium escape valve does not stand correct or maybe its the pic. What is the asking price? You can find better than this, but if it is ”cheap”... maybe. I would pass. Sorry!

Ok. I dont mind used look, actually prefer that for that age. Bracelet can still hold up for normal use for few years, like clasp, insert and case. But I would fully service it for water proof and take that escape valve also checked. Would also try to get asking price lower. Prepare to use some money to get that all done.

No. Not that price, I’m worried about escape valve not holding up. If you can get the seller servicing it first then maybe. There’s a lot other ones available on Chrono24 around 6000€ which ones are much better shape. I would keep finding better one and pass this one.

It’s a great reference but a proper Rolex service heads towards £1000 because of the HE and depth rating.
