Rolex Date help
Hi all,
I'd like to buy my first Rolex. Unfortunatelly I have a thin wrist. I found a 34 mm Rolex Date which I like and would suits me. ref: 15223 machinery: 3135 The price tag is 3300$ and I'll attach some pixs. I've read so many things about this watch but before checking it out may I ask your opinion about its genuineness? I believe it is genuine, but I'd be interested in your professional opinion, first instinct. Does it worth its price? Thanks for the support! Sam |

It's been polished and the crown on the clasp looks faded, but it has original tritium dial. I like it and the price seems ok

Definitely genuine... lugs look sharp... the crown does look polished down but it doesn't usually photograph well so in person it might be a bit better...

Mmm
Back case looks very badly corroded/pitted yet dial is immaculate. Watch may be genuine, but suspect reworked dial.

I think that's a worn out protective sticker with bubbles on it, not corrosion.

Thank you guys, for the feedback. Yeah, I think it is only a sticker too. The only interesting for me is the Rolex logo on the bracelet. I believe it should be more standout. Maybe I'm wrong.

Here are some other pixs.
Bracelet needs to be seen in person. |

It's just overpolished, but only on the clasp (which is a scratch magnet). The rest of the watch like case and bracelet has nice sharp edges and looks great. I wouldn't worry about it. Lovely watch! You can always ask for a picture like this to see if the band has no stretch on the gold, or just see it in person
