Authenticate this Rolex

I was recently about to buy a Rolex Air King from 1990 a few weeks ago, but decided not to because of the price. I have now, found another Rolex sold by a Italian watch shop in Rome. They guarantee the authenticity and are validated sellers on chrono24.com. But I want to be 100% sure and I cannot see the watch because I live in another country. But he sells the Rolex Air Kimg from 2002 complete with box and papers except the original receipt for 2956 $ . If you could please authenticate it for me, I would be very happy :-) here's the website link : http://eorologi.com/

Here are a few pictures of the watch:

It looks authentic , I would add "of course".

Problem isn't the watch on the pictures, but the watch you receive. Is it the same ...

You need to trust the seller , and if not go away.

Buy the seller. If you trust them then go for it. If not then pass. You can always find another. There are a lot of great TRF sellers on here that could help you and offer great pricing. The benefit of that is they also have a good reference section to verify who is who and how their business practices have been in past dealings. If you have any doubt then don't do it.

Consider yourself lucky. Not because of the watch but because you were lucky enough to start this thread with a title "authenticate this Rolex" and the mod did not moved this thread to the "real or fake" section.

I've seen similar threads like yours but they werent so lucky because they titled their thread "Is this real or fake?" And no more than a few minutes, their thread got moved out to another section by the mod. Hehehe or some even "closed".

You are lucky.

If you can find enough positive reviews on them from outside sources then it would certainly help in your decision. I generally wouldn't buy online from a different country because there are too many things that could go wrong... Good luck!

I bought a Rolex from Eorologi SRL two weeks ago. The watch was in excellent condition BUT the communication with the company was a disaster. The owner doesn´t speak english and uses a translator.

If you make him an offer he doesn´t like he just doesn´t answer. He also sent the watch with UPS Standard taking three days to reach Sweden. When i complained he didn´t even answer.

I wouldn´t buy from him again.
