Rolex Yacht-Master 35mm Midsize Watch, Perpetual

Authenticity check:

Rolex Yacht-Master 35mm Midsize Watch, Perpetual

When previously contacted the seller said he couldn't guarantee authenticity because his closest qualified jeweler was four hours away. Now he says he went a jeweler to have the battery changed. He still seems to shy away from the subject of authenticity.

Despite his feed-back as a coin seller, this auction doesn't seem quite right, and the storage unit purchase doesn't make it any better . . .

Is this watch correct?

The watch is fake and a bad one with signs of rust. The best you can do is report it.

In the first auction . . .

. . . he said "I am not an expert or jeweler and will only insure this watch for what it sells for, as I have no way of knowing if this is a real rolex or not without any documentation or receipt." and I got it removed based on the evasive disclaimer.

He changed it around for the second attempt, and somebody else got it before I did.

Thank you.
