Help with Rolex purchase

Local to me 1987 datejust full kit.

Bracelet has some serious stretch and it could probably use a little polish.

Do those things take away value from the watch ?

To polish or not to polish ?

Thanks for the help !

Watch looks nice to me. Bracelet is wasted and probly not secure to wear.

Depends on the asking price. A bracelet rebuild will set you back about $350 which you can use to bargain with.

It looks like a used 16030... no red flags... you obviously know the bracelet is stretched... the value is definitely lower as a result but without knowing the price its hard to say whether its a deal or not...

Need to know price. Authentic but worn band. Figure a rebuild into the mix of the band
