100% original? c'mon

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Rolex-ra...713.m153.l1262


Seller says "100% genuine Rolex frame, paint, lettering & luminous"

I don't think so.

Orchi?

Tudorman?

...Jeff, you have had more of these go thru your hands than I...

...if you say is questionable, then I would be inclined to think so.

...what I do in FACT see, is that the mounts are obvious (holes thru the plate) and would lead me to think they are AM.

...what say you??

Err buddy Jeff...good catch...!

The plate may be Rolex...but the rest looks to be REDONE with
Aftermarket stones...

Please stay 100ft away from it...

Also has questionable Tiffany dial and bad feedback for selling redone dials as original!

I would not even consider myself in the same ballpark with some of you guys. Stan has forgotten more than I will ever know about bands, Pav has a collection that makes me drool, Orchi is the oracle of knowledge, and Steve...well lets leave him out of this. My point is even a blind man or a simple novice like myself can see that Rolex did not put the pretty stones on that dial...with that said, the dial from past experience in the forum has been altered and as such should be listed as a Rolex dial with pretty stones.

HE has about 7 others that should be taken down... And his Tiffany dial is suspect too. And if selling papers is AOK , then I have some work to do!
