Does this 14060 look right?

This will be my first Rolex purchase, so am looking to you for assistance. The seller just e-mailed me the following pics. Would appreciate some input if this looks correct.

My concerns:
1. Plastic card in Chinese? Purchase date does not match original 2007 date on COA
2. "Rolex" COA - does this look authentic?
3. The green sticker on the caseback
4. Anything else?

Thanks

Based on those terrible pictures it is problematic.

If you have to ask it's never a good sign.

Pictures are not great. If I had seen just a picture of the watch I probably woudnl't have thought twice...but with everything together...well...I'd find another watch.

Plus, if you have more than one concern and it's something other than price...find something else.

The plastic card is worthless, it's not Rolex. The warranty paper looks ok. If the watch and tag serial matches it, it should be ok.

^^^ Good to know. Not sure why a seller would include the card if it's not Rolex. Just makes a buyer question the authenticity.

I have passed on this one.

Is it a Grey dealer warranty card?

I haven't seen that green sticker on the case back in many years. Maybe someone knows when that sticker was discontinued, but I don't think it was later than 2015.

Wise decision, in my opinion, a numbering of other worrying issues

Much, much earlier than 2015!

But a Z from 2007 could have had the green case sticker Adam?

Yes it could Eddie - just.
Z runs from May 2007 to Oct 2008 (from memory) so it "could" still have it.
But unworn in anyway?
Plus other things, does cause suspicion and act with caution

Not specific to the OP's watch, but I had heard that fakes of the 2-liner Sub were uncommon. Any truth to that or am I remembering incorrectly?

The pictures are terrible but that's not necessarily a clear give away in this scenario....I can read chinese and I think I can make out it is talking about watches (the parts that the picture shows.....talks about out of mainteance period, 20% off for oiling, keep card for final decision making etc) so it's probably some inside warranty/service of some kind from the HK store.....When in doubt just take it to a watchmaker to open/check......I don't think I see any screaming red lights here except perhaps the sticker.
