Looks OK from here.
The only thing I'm wondering about: if he sent it to RSC a month ago, why didn't he get the stretched bracelet replaced?

Why does he have a pic (bottom of page) with thewatchedealer.co.uk watermark when that's not his eBay i.d.?
Maybe it means nothing (?). |

I don't see anything wrong with the watch except the misleading white gold part.
An unexperienced buyer might be misled into thinking it's a white gold watch instead of just the bezel. |

I heard bad stories on buying Rolexes on eBay. He happens to have the watch I want, and around my budget plus the mfg date is pretty new 2003/2004.

Look at the pictures of the bracelet. See how the links don't line up perfectly, there's distortion and gapping? That's stretch. As the links wear down, they weaken and lose their shape. This is especially an issue with Jubilee bracelets and their many small thin links.
Now, the seller is claiming the watch is seven years old, so the "lived-in" bracelet is a point in his favor. It just seems odd to me that he sent it out for service, obviously to spiff it up before he sold it, and didn't get a new bracelet while it was there.

A brand new jubilee bracelet will probably add $1500.00 to the price tag. It sure can be done if the owner wanted to but he won't be able to recoup his cost.

I see... Learning something new everyday.
Is it true that for a Swiss made Grade A replica, you will have to open the back to tell? Even so, it will be hard to distinguish. |
