opinions on this watch

Hello,

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Datejust-M...item1c0dd3c773

I'm new to the Rolex world and looking for a 1971 Rolex (year I was born). Are Rolex watches from 1971 hard to find? I found this one on eBay and would like to get some opinions from the members here. Does it look ok (real)? Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

You may want to ask the seller for photo showing the serial number (or at least the 1st few characters) this will help date the watch (which should match-up with the 1971 year as posted). For a 1971 watch, the serial should be a seven digit number starting with 321 (i.e., 321####).

Thanks, I will do that.

The watch looks legit, and he did purchase this from interwatches last year in Sep-22-08, Its a bit of a no no using the original photos from interwatches, but he could have permission from them.

Overall the watch looks good to me
