Maybe The Wrong Clasp? I think that's an Air King Clasp.

Just posting to see if i'm wrong please do not rely on my opinion as I am very new

I think i'd pass on this one personally for several reasons but I am very suspect of most watches I come across. The more experienced will be along shortly!

OP10 is a well know both genuine code and a very well used FAKE code.
I would ask for photos between lugs prior to proceeding
Just not enough there for me (anyway) to claim "genuine"

Thanks for your input

I have several concerns about this piece. Best avoid.

Another note, unless you are buying from a grey dealer who has premises to go back to, never buy a watch with no box or papers from a private individual or online - there are many stolen watches on the market.

Hi what concerns you with the watch?

thesharkfactor · 11 July 2018, 08:18 AM

There are the red flags noted above, I also don't like the stamping inside the clasp..maybe just poor pics.. however, when there is any doubt whatsoever about the legitimacy of a Rolex, simply walk away.. there are plenty others to choose from, from trusted sources. Only buy when there is 100% certainty all is well with the watch and seller.

This ^^^^^ Never was their more sound advise

Hi thanks for the advice, the seller is local to me and is happy to let me take it to the Rolex AD who i know well enough they will look over it for me free of charge.

Im not paying alot for it if so so can handle if its got a aftermarket bracelet, i was more interested in the watch itself as a daily for my partner.
