I had this Rolex given to me from a good friend and have no idea what it is. I googled it and could only find replicas. Can you tell me how much its worth, its name, etc?? Sorry for the bad quality pics I couldnt get a clear one but the last pic looks identical to my watch but is from google. please help thanks!!

xSiNFuLx · 22 September 2009, 01:45 AM

oh also when I googled it the name that came up was "Rolex DayDate Diamond Sapphire Dial Bezel Steel Oyster" but I dont know if that correct

WatchSnob · 22 September 2009, 01:47 AM

Well first I think you need to get some better pics but unless your friend is VERY wealthy and REALLY likes you I would highly suspect it is a fake as that watch would easily be over $50,000. Take the bracelet off the watch, on one side there will be the serial # post the letter at the start of the serial # and someone can give you the year it was made and then the other side has the model #, post this as well as it will help verify if the watch is all factory correct. Only then will you be able to know if your watch is legit and its true value. Without that info and good pics most will assume its a knock off.

I suggest you take it to a Rolex AD tell them you are interested in selling it and ask them what they will give you for it.If they make an offer on it report back to us.They will tell you exactly what you have in your hand.

Idle Swede · 22 September 2009, 01:52 AM

Fake.

xSiNFuLx · 22 September 2009, 01:54 AM

okay thanks. and there are some numbers on it im not sure which is the actual serial number but ill post them all.. it says "rolexsa 750" "8385" "geneve swissmade 18k" and it also says "A750A" buts its so tiny i can barely see it.

Idle Swede · 22 September 2009, 01:55 AM

Again, it's a fake.

xSiNFuLx · 22 September 2009, 01:56 AM

I really dont think its fake only because the person who gave it to me is very wealthy...he only buys name brand things and I cant see him buying a fake. Unless he didnt know it was fake when he bought it.

xSiNFuLx · 22 September 2009, 01:56 AM

okay.... if its fake does it still have any value?

Very funny.

xSiNFuLx · 22 September 2009, 02:06 AM

why is that funny and how much do you think I could get for this watch? I really have no use for it...

cody p · 22 September 2009, 02:41 AM

as has been suggested - take it to an authorized dealer.

swissautopro · 22 September 2009, 02:53 AM

So eloquent. I am referring to the poor photos, and the threads in two different sections of the forum, asking the same questions after you have been given answers by more than qualified members of this forum. That is "wtf" I'm "talkin about".

xSiNFuLx · 22 September 2009, 03:12 AM

Nobody ever gave me straight answer thats why I asked again! If you read the post I apologized for the bad quality pics, my camera wouldn't take a clear one!

choople · 22 September 2009, 03:30 AM

Sorta says it all don't it....

zseriessub · 22 September 2009, 03:54 AM

Taking into consideration the watch's value should it be authentic and its actual state of authenticity, my formal price qoute is -$50,000

WOW!!

For a newbie, you are very eloquent. And if that's really you in your avatar (and you do look beautiful), then I can't blame the guy who parted with such an expensive gift in your favour.

Well, your pics tell us absolutely NOTHING about that watch, but the whole thing looks just too good to be true.....and you know what they say about anything that looks too good to be true.

If it's a FAKE (which it most probably is), then it's worth bugger all!!

If it's GENUINE, you need to hitch up with the guy who gave that to you!!

Good luck - JJ

Amanda I suggest you do as I said above and report back to us.
Go to www.Rolex.com and look up an authorized dealer near you and drive there ASAP.Look in your local newspaper there might be a few guys with big ads we buy watches call them as well.Than please report back to us what they said and the real offer they gave you.

Now, Amanda, for the second time, Nikos has given you very good, straight foward advice. There is nothing more anyone here can do for you given the information you have provided.

Yes I realize that and I plan to do so! By the way the condescending tone really is not necessary. In case you haven't noticed I'm an 18 year old girl, not a Rolex enthusiast. Thanks

Are you kidding me???? First of all you are being totally disrespectful. I am actually amazed how other members still gave advice after you referred to the site as "dumb".

Second your story of "oh look I am a pretty face who has what looks like a 50000 dollar watch that I don't want" sounds fishy to me. If you are looking for a victim who will offer you any money at all for a watch we cannot even see clearly in the photos then I am afraid you chose the wrong forum. Sorry but I am afraid we are not that "dumb".

Third, even if your story is true, and this was a gift from a wealthy friend, I dare not think what this friend got in return. And if our predictions come true, that is, that the watch is FAKE, then that makes YOU the dumb one.

I am sorry, but where I am from, I learned to speak my mind out loud.

Actually Im not looking to sell the watch online at all! I just wanted an opinion from someone who was more educated about watches than myself! Obviously I know nothing about Rolexes. When I posted a thread asking about it, all I got was sarcasm! I did get a few valid responses ( thank you for that ). The watch was given to me (FOR FREE) so it would only make me dumb if I had paid for it. Also, you trying to assume that my friend got some sort of "favor" in return for the watch is completely false! He happens to be very generous! Thanks for your input though

It isn't correct. Rolex Day Date watches have a curved window at the top of the dial in which the day of the week is displayed, similar to the stock photo you posted and the one below.
