Not a really good price considering it has an aftermarket band, and if your importing into the uk, you could very well get stuck with import taxes
Far better off buying in the uk with the poor pound to dollar rate and customs charges from the us it makes sense. Mick |

I personally would not pay any more than 2k for that one. The fact that is has an aftermarket band as well as a refinished dial is not the way you want to start out for your first rolex. Go with something all original.

Pass band is aftermarket and hold plated, it's not even solid gold links. Also using the Rolex symbol even slightly altered is dodgy they are not an authorised reseller and are representing they have some official compacity IMHO

Pass as others have stated. Also case is not in the best shape.

Buy from reputable seller here; you'll get what you want, a product with integrity, at a fair price.

I've never had anything aftermarket on any of my Rolexes, and never will. Refinished dial? Uh stay away for sure.
