Thank you everyone I feel welcomed.

I am looking to purchase this Rolex and I was hoping if you all could help me out with some questions I have regarding it...

https://ibb.co/n9XhSn

(I tried uploading thru the form but could not get the measurements right or kbs.. )

Anyway that's the Rolex I am looking at purchasing just some basic questions what kind of Rolex is this ? I could not find it anywhere on the website I'm not sure if I have the best detective skills lol.

Also does this type of Rolex make a ticking noise ?

Is there anything peticular on the clasp? This one has a pretty basic clasp I can upload a picture to show if needed.

Lastly, what type of signs should I be looking for on the Rolex to be sure it is legit.

Thanks in advance to everyone for their kind comments and help!

A lot of aftermarket on it. Almost hard to tell if its legit or not with all the aftermarket stuff on it. Also I've noticed that the bracelet has a lot of stretch on it.

Where you buying it from? How much? Also if you have any more pictures of the watch.

Hello everyone thank you for your feed back and being do welcoming !

In regards to the "aftermarket" parts could you expand on what you think these aftermarket parts are ?

When I took the watch to a Rolex Dealer they said the face of the watch looks legit and everything seems to be okay except the diamonds are not diamonds that Rolex use and the date changes at 1130 instead of 12.

Also I do believe the band and clasp are fake or aftermarket.. I am getting it appraised tomorrow and will decide if I am going to return it or not.

It was purchased from a reputable jewellery store in St. Thomas ... any input would be great.. what would you do in this case ?

Paid 5000 USD.

Thank you in advance for everyone's input and friendliness.
