Buying a used Rolex! Help

Hi everyone! I am looking to buy a used Rolex DJ and have found one I am interested in. I will post the sellers pictures and description and would like to know some of your thoughts. Also what would you say is a fair price for this watch?

Sellers description: "-Two tone men's Rolex Thunderbird Datejust Turnograph is in great condition. It runs perfectly and keeps great time.
-It is complete with all original boxes, paperwork, hangtag and even the original receipt from 2003.
-It has scuffing throughout from normal everyday wear, most of which could be buffed if new owner chooses."

Watch looks legit... but this isn’t something that’s an easy sell if you’re looking to move into something else later on.

Watch may be legit, I can not tell from that photo, but it looks pretty beat up, and poor condition.
We got no idea what the movement is like

It would have to be an extraordinary price for myself to have any interest in that. The condition just doesn't seem great. That model is not a high demand model so I would bet you could find one in much better condition for very little more. If it's your first, get one that looks new!

That is a 16263 model... It is indeed not an easy mover down the road and the band is very much warped... any time you can seen the pins it is not a good thing... Also, expect that it will require a service at it seems to have been worn rough
