Faigin I have PM'd you with a question. I want to know where you bought this watch. You have failed to reply. It's a simple question to which I'd appreciate an answer.

I think Fagin made a spelling mistake when he registered.

There should have been a K in the middle instead of the G.

Hi Dalip, sorry if I have delayed answering your question I am at work.
I am happy to anwser anything you want to know. I saw the watch on ebay about a week ago. met with the seller at his house after showing id etc and I bought it.

Think there is some confusion here, the seller wasnt sending me anything, all the paperwork etc was with the watch when i looked at it.

happy to answer any questions, didnt realise you had asked, been busy trying t sort pictures out. thanks regards Fagin

Take it to a watchmaker. The movement will tell you everything you need to know.

On the whole, the watch looks good, but there are a couple of things here and there that leave some room for doubt.

Can we see eBay auction? To help you of course.
Also HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY FOR IT?
Pics of box and papers?

to be fair , if its a fake , as im starting to believe ,,, they are getting very close , thats two pages of some of the older hands at spotting fakes and still not sure , yes i know it would be different if it was in your hands , but a lesson for us all for the future.

[Fagin]

Mikey, I didnt say i was sending pictures of paperwork or box and i didnt have any inclination of it being a possible duff until i put a picture in the general discussion area and 2 comments were made that it may not look right.so i asked for some guideance thanks

Who is not sure?

I am.

[Fagin]

I have the box and sleeves, original receipt, hand written receipt when i got the watch,one red tag, one white tag with serial number, handbook and one other small book at home, with me i have the credit card and a small guarantee booklet.

That watch is perfectly normal!! Everything looks great too me!! As I sad already that GMT is good, as real as they come... I have looked at your pictures and everything lines up...

PS.

Rolex laser engraves all there watches now, if you want to see this in action just check out the deep sea challenge video on utube! If you look at a new style clap of any new Rolex it almost looks brined in to the clasp this is from the laser!!

I've looked at all the Rolex watch listings completed since 14/12/12 and can't seem to find this one.

Can you state auction number, just in case I've got a blind spot?

I tend to agree with you, but some details give me a funny feeling (maybe I am enlarging the bloody pictures too much!!)

sorry for the delay

[Fagin]

welshwatchman, I bought it face to face with the seller so it didnt go through the auction process, it was being offered at £4350 and i paid £3900. there had been 6 offers refused prior to me buying

[imono]

But is it from ebay site?
You have the link or item number?
Any link to the website?

[supernova]

Hmmm that writing seems close to the edge? Looking at mine, there is a space before the writing starts. Also it was originally from Ireland? As mine is 160 client No too...

[Fagin]

Wow - still no ebay link?
If the link is no loner there/available there is a problem.

[Fagin]

Hi Imono, not sure there would be a link there if the item is sold ?

For at least 90 days. It is there even if the seller ended early...
Usually not there if eBay pulled it down for some reason etc...

[David cote]

Here is a cleaning solution you can buy!!

This stuff works great!!



Oh and congrats on the watch here is a pic of mine!!

[Fagin]

Thanks Dave, to be honest gone off cleaning it a bit now,cant wait to take it somewhere and know for sure if its ok, nice watches by the way

[GradyPhilpott]

Your watches look perfect, David.

There is no doubt in my mind of their authenticity.

I know that the do some things differently in Europe and the UK, but here's what my cards look like. The serial numbers have been obscured.

[Fagin]

Dalip, thanks for the PM but i havent got an auction number to give you
