when patina is too good to be true

[moris]

My takeaway from this thread is that professional doctoring the dial or laser welding the case is pretty much impossible to prove.

So this leaves it to probability.

How probable is it that the national lottery is won by the same person repeatedly during a several year timespan? Not very probable.

How likely is the occurence of basically NOS looking vintage rolexes highly exceeding such occurence with other similarly specialised sellers?

For me thats sufficient for making a decision on buying or not..
