Looks all wrong to me, when compared to what is on Rolex's official website.

Dial exists but I only have an iPhone. I need a clearer pic to say for sure of the setting and a large computer screen to be sure.

I should amend my opinion to say that the hands don't match the dial and that usually means the dial is aftermarket.

Looks OK from here.
The pics are just out of focus, so the dial print looks a bit off at first glance. |

It looks ok, but as commented earlier, dial and hands don't match(hands shoudn't be lumed with a diamond dial) so double check if it's a redial or an aftermarket dial.

I should have clarified that I was soley commenting on the dial itself, as per the OP's concern. The pics aren't the greatest, but the fake Jubilee/Computer/Anniversary dials are usually easy to spot. However, even if the dial checks out, it is likely not original to that watch. Or, if the dial is original, then the hands were swapped out at some point. Either way, just be aware that the watch, as a whole, is not original. If that isn't a concern, I'd at least ask to see a pic of the papers opened up to show the dial info before going any further. YMMV... |
