Entry level rolex

Hi there I’m in the market for a vintage oyster perpetual as I’m cheap😀. However it seems to be a minefield of frankenwatches and fakes out there. There is one on eBay and I’ve bartered the guy to £1750 I’m just about to pull the trigger but something is niggling me. Any advice. The guy says 30 day money back guarantee

Advice... don’t do it if you’re not 100% sure.

Give us a link to the one you’re interested in. But as Tim advised, don’t do ANYTHING unless you’re 100% certain. The headache and potential loss of money isn’t worth it. It’s just a watch.

My 2¢

If niggles have entered your mind
Don’t open your wallet.

Post it here and we can at least give you some thoughts.

Don't do it. I've never not regretted a watch purchase I wasn't fully sure about.

If I were to buy vintage I would check with the guys here that have forgotten more about Rolex than I will ever know or buy from a trusted seller here
