Need advice on this watch
In your opinion, is this authentic? There is no authenticity guarantee but this could be because of the aftermarket dial and bezel.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-Datej...cAAOSwtshfD5Si Please give me your overall opinions with regard to authenticity of the timepiece itself, aesthetic tastes aside please. Thank you in advance. |

Looks like one of the many variants of the typical eBay flipper special. In this case, that is: Take a genuine-but-clapped-out SS DJ and add a counterfeit dial and aftermarket bezel. Then mangle it further with an amateur/hack polish-job to make "look" like a PM piece. It's also over-priced by at least $10k IMO, and that's being generous (assuming the diamonds are real). Hard pass here, but YMMV. |

Or the fact it's listed as a day date in the description ?

Aside from the wonky description, it's overpriced by about$14K. IMHO

Nobody has said “hideous” yet. So I will.

Know that, if you bought it, even if it was genuine, Rolex wouldn't touch it for service - you'd pay a ton of money to have it restored to original or you'd be stuck with third parties for service. Are you specifically looking for a blinged out diamond watch? I mean, if you are, I'd probably try to find one that's not a Rolex and that will be less expensive..... the watch you're looking at MIGHT have a Rolex movement, but, the dial, bezel, etc. are fake, so why spend money on them? |
