rolex value

I have someone wanting to sell me a rolex for 1,200:
Yacht-Master yr 2000
Reference: 16622
Series: F
Movement: Rolex Caliber 3135
Water Resistance: 330 ft./100 m.
Case: Stainless steel w/platinum bezel
He said it's missing the pin for adjusting the time.
But I am not sure if it's worth it, can someone educate me on this?
Thanks for any help

Sounds like a scam. Is it good condition? Authenticate at an AD if possible.

That sounds WAY too cheap to be legit.
If you get some pics people here will be able to help
you tell if this is legit.

I'd meet him for lunch at my local AD. That price is too good. Most likely fake or stolen. What "pin" for adjusting the dial? Can't wait for the pics.
