Datejust - yay or nay

Looking into this 36mm Datejust, but I need the veterans eye for this as the pictures are quite bad.. I did my fair share of comparing and am leaning towards replica or bad pictures.

Much obliged.

PS. Can someone tell me why I can’t insert images? There’s a small blank box when I try to?

Looks ok to me, ask for pictures of the movement to be sure.

Is it me or in the first pic does the crown look bent?

Looks very well used.

If the seller sent you that photo, ask for better ones - sharper ones. The text “SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER” appears to have been damaged on the end where letters ER should be as sharp as the other letters.

On posting pictures, be sure you are using the paper clip icon to attach the file (and stay within the size limits). Or if you’re using the embed PHP code, be sure you have a valid image URL and not some redirect shortcut.

Pics are lame. Rounded lugs. Clasp? Full bracelet pics? Not sure what you’re asking, but surely you can do better than this.

If I could authenticate it all, I’d pay $800 Because I would be counting on a full service, and possibly a bracelet service, and I would not want to be in this thing anywhere near retail.

Oh I’m not selling it, was about to purchase it. But indeed as you’ve pointed out it’s in too bad of a shape for me.

Pardon my typographical error. When I said “You’re,” I meant “they’re”. Unless this is bargain basement and totally authenticated, I think you can do better. DJs are so cheap.

I think I paid ~2750 from a great grey marketer for this, full box and papers and booklets, in great shape

2750 for that?! You’ve got to help me out man, I must be looking at the wrong places(ebay), the guy wanted 3000 for that piece of crap and no box or papers..

That’s such a beauty! You’re a lucky man.

Thanks bro! Bought About 2.5 years ago. But they haven’t appreciated much. $3000 is too high. I’d Look hard at great sellers on TRF and at Bobs.

Just spun thru TRF and Bobs. Granted it’s high retail, looks like you’ll be in the 4000s for a nice keeper DJ
