Rolex OP DATE lagit?

I am in the hunt for a quality Rolex OP Date. I love the blue face. If I’m going to spend this kind of money I want to buy something real. Everyone in this forum seems very knowledgeable. Is this one lagit? Thanks to all!

How do you count the links. If I count by the larger exterior links I count 12. Am I missing something?

No idea what you mean by exterior links?
Does the watch fit? If so who cares?

Watch is genuine - enjoy

I SEE twelve. If you can get another link from the seller, Great. But don't waste a lot of effort trying to get one. If It Fits As Is, you really don't care, Really....

Thanks to everyone for their help on this piece. I bought the watch but it didn’t go so well. I bought it from SwissWatchExpo. Below is my story:

Bought a Rolex advertised as 100% authentic and serviced. It was not. Glass was not Rolex Glass, Bracelet Pins not Rolex, a bracket link was shaved to fit, (see how a pin sticks out of the bracelet in the photo above?)a broken end link, warn out auto axle, very rough winding, the hands edges were damaged, and potentially an aftermarket date wheel. This merchant requires that the customer has to prove authenticity. (The Rolex process takes longer than 7 days) Ethically, if a vendor stands behind their product they should prove authenticity to the customer.

I returned within the 7 day customer inspection period. In writing they told me my refund was going to be “x” and they actually refunded “x-$60”. Unprofessional.

$60 is not worth arguing about. But is unfortunate they can’t get their act together.

Also keep in mind that they require that you drop off the item before issuing a return. When I dropped off my item I asked for a receipt. They refused to furnish any paper documenting that I gave them my piece. Very odd. If Wal-Mart can give you a receipt for an item you would think a retailer where you dropped $3k could do something similar before you leave. They would give me nothing that said I dropped the item off to them. Weird.

If I could give zero stars I would.

$60 is Kinda Cheap for an education on Where NOT To Buy. I think the Wasted Time would bother me more....

OP should REALLY check out the Trusted Sellers Right Here On TRF. You may have to wait a bit for the Exact Watch you seek, but It WILL Be Worth The Wait.

Ya. I’m not sweating the $60 shipping plus restocking fee of $112. I just want others to know about who to avoid.

I just going to buy new. Others may laugh at this statement but I value my my peace of mind more than cost.

AND a $112 "Restocking"Fee? OK, now That SUCKS. Restocking fees are for when you purchase more "Stock" (refers to NEW merchandise) to replace what was sold, and now since the sold item was returned the retailer has to return the replacement stock, which is an additional cost to the retailer. This was a Preowned item, the seller didn't have to "Restock" ANYTHING. That's Complete Crap. It's NOT the Money it's just the misrepresentation.

If cost isn't really a concern for you, then Definitely Buy New From An Authorized Dealer. No Fuss No Muss....

Did the experience you have mirror whats stated in the Returns section on their website?
Looks like you were charged the 3% CC fee. $60 for shipping? Should be $40.

If it were me I'd be filing a dispute with my CC as the watch had some non authentic parts which were not part of their 100% genuine guarantee.

By not fighting their actions you're encouraging them to deceive others.
