We have several top notch TRF members who are sellers here. Insted of being Ebay screwed look here!

Looks OK. Junk bracelet. Quite clean and looks all original. A good buy at the starting price imo. Would clean up well with a light professional polish and look good on a quality leather strap and Rolex buckle.

Thats not a bad looking watch, but even though I am new here there seems to be many really stand up watch seller here on TRF so you may want to look here as well.
I was happy with my daily TT DateJust for many years, after a couple weeks on this site I'm already looking to replace my long lost Submariner :)
This is a dangerous place!

Don't buy this -- the dial is clearly (and none-to-well) refinished, which devalues this vintage piece significantly. There are so many all-original examples around, so go for one of those. But do your research first!

Although I have been lucky with the few purchases I have made on Ebay, there is absolutely NO reason to buy anything anywhere but here!

I don't think the dial is refinished. That's how those early Oyster date 1500's came with ROLEX printed on like that.

thks for all respond. sincerely appreciate all comments.
Obviously I prefer buying from TRF but the choices are less, and few are willing to ship overseas.
I may post and ask for more other eBay listings seeking for advice.
Hope to get my first vintage Rolex, thks for all support and understanding.
