This does not look good -

The package is fake - box pillow etc.

Comments?!

...TTG, the only...

...thing I see, that MAY be non-genuine, is the pillow (looks like something the wife made for him), and maybe the box. The outer box could be genuine, as the markings seem to be in the correct location.

...the watch is correct, as well as the ref number. Likewise, the band appears , albeit slightly blurry, to be genuine also.

...that model came with either the Jub or Oyster band.

Stan.

It is hard to see but look at the inner/upper side of the box where the Rolex Emblem is imprinted.

...I sent a msg...

...about the boxes and pillow.

...here is what I sent:

Hi.

...just a comment for your consideration.

...the pillow for the watch does NOT appear to be genuine Rolex. Can you verify?? Likewise, the inner box is possibly questionable (inside color)

...if either is non-genuine, you should consider removing the boxes and/or pillow from your listings. You can always include them when you ship.

...merely trying to be helpful.

...NICE watch!

Sincerely, Stan.

The box is 100% fake and the watch has the wrong booklets for the watch year.

So, would anyone here buy a watch sight unseen, from a seller you've never met with a watch that has the credentials in my first sentence? I'm not making a judgement on that watch from the pics, but I'm not buying the seller, and if you can't buy the seller, how could you buy the watch?

I agree with John. Difficult to buy the seller so it is difficult to purchase the watch.
