I am considering buying a 1978 oyster perpetual Rolex, but I am not sure whether this one is a real one. Could you please be so kind and help me to have a look? The price is 3200 GBP, do you think that is a reasonable price? Thank you very very much

Here is the description the seller gave: BEAUTIFUL AUTHENTIC GENTS 18K WHITE GOLD & STAINLESS STEEL ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL DATEJUST WATCH. THE WATCH COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL ROLEX BOX AND ALSO A ROLEX SERVICE BOX, AS IT HAS HAD A RECENT FULL ROLEX SERVICE 12 MONTHS AGO.

THE TOP QUALITY SWISS 26 JEWELS ROLEX AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT KEEPS EXCELLENT TIME AND HAD A FULL SERVICE BY ROLEX 12 MONTHS AGO.

THE DIAL IS IN CLASSIC WHITE WITH BLACK ROMAN NUMERALS AND GOLD POINTERS WITH THE ICONIC ROLEX LOGO AT THE 12 POSITION IN GOLD. THIS IS QUITE A RARE DIAL AS THE POINTERS AND LOGO ARE NORMALLY IN SILVER, THIS IS IN GOLD MAKING THIS A RARE MODEL.
THE DATE WINDOW IS AT THE 3 POSITION.

THE WATCH HAS A SOLID 18K WHITE GOLD FLUTTED BEZEL WITH THE CASE IN STAINLESS STEEL. THE CASE HAS THE SERIAL NUMBER 5084803 AND MODEL NUMBER 1601. THESE CAN BE SEEN IN THE PHOTOS BETWEEN THE LUGS. THE CASE IS 36 MM WITHOUT THE CROWN AND HAS A 20 MM LUG WIDTH.

Is this on eBay? There is a listing on there for this watch that finished on 22 Mar, with the watch selling for £2550. Same pictures.

Gold hands? Pretty. DD box. Clasp with mirrored finish. Not a good start.

Seller just copied and pasted the description from Ebay. Lazy

Dial is a Buckley which is good. Hands don’t match (should be black) which isn’t good. Clasp is over-polished. Box is original but not for that model. The case isn’t bad. Someone suggested it had been previously listed for £2500 which is more realistic, although still a little high.

Dial isn’t correct either. There shouldn’t be a gold coronet. Dial and hands are not for this watch.
