Rolex datejust 41 II

Hi Guys

I'd really value your opinion regarding this watch I'm considering to buy
my concerne is the authenticity especially that this watch is advertised as never worn
as far as I know all rolex watches comes with a green tag as you can see this one has red one

Thanks a lot for your help
Regards

I can not see anything incorrect.
It also has the new Rolex "hang Tag" issued and replaced by Rolex to AD's in July 2015

Watch looks fine, and appears to be represented correctly as unworn (stickers still in place).
However, unless it's from a reputable/trusted dealer, or you are able to pick it up in person, I'd proceed with caution.
It's a common scam to send pics of a genuine watch that isn't in seller's possession. You send money, they send...nothing.

The watch in the pics look OK to me. Make sure to vet the seller and that the watch you get matches the watch in the pics, don't get too excited and forget to do your homework

I concur to that. I only (incorrectly) authenticated the watch.
That does NOT confirm a "deal"

Hi Guys

I appreciate the fact that we are talking about pics here
being here is part of my homework

I need to hit the road and drive for some 5 hours to see the watch;so better to make sure that it won't be for the sake of traveling

another thing is that I've read somewhere that Rolex has changed or will change its warranty policy; for the warranty to be valid in addition to be signed by an authorized dealer a copy has to have sent to rolex and the name on the card must much the name of the owner! how true is that?

What I suspect is that this watch is off the grey market bit I dont think that there is a way to verify that? or is there one?
