Need help with authenticity..

I am looking to buy my first Rolex and need some help. I am REALLY wanting the 216570 but just can't afford it at this moment but have came across a GMT in my area that can be somewhat affordable. My questions are about the authenticity and the price. Thanks in advance.

It looks OK to me......

The case has seen a little polishing in its time. The offer to meet at a jewellers is also reassuring.

Good luck.

looks ok at a glance, can't see any references eg. band or lugs photos so its hard to make an absolute call, but he will meet at jeweller, generally that reassuring, if he has a rolex warranty card which you get at service from last year when he serviced at rolex, as stated with the same serial number on it as the watch, your good

It looks like several of the links are missing. I would be sure to ask how many links will come with the watch BEFORE you buy it. 3 or 4 links could add up to a decent amount and will change the value of the watch.
