do you want to explain why you know its genuine, from those bad pictures

the points i made about the box aside.. i asked him to check the serials, which he still hasnt confirmed if he got them and they match the card

just saying to someone hey its genuine.. without anything to back it up is bad advice.

Could easily be a franken with a black hole crystal.

you walk into an ad with a watch, rarely do they just look at a watch and say yes its genuine, which is basically what you have done, they will glance at the watch and immediately check serial and movement numbers

I dont even know why people create these posts, literally no common sense whatsoever

Its no more harder than checking plates and vin numbers on a car

Ive bought and sold over 50 genuine versions of these and also have a wealth of knowledge on genuine Rolex sports models to know what I’m looking at.

Hi,

I asked seller for a picture showing serial number and it matches. We have also signed a private sell contract, and I have a copy of seller ID.
So I think tha all this the transaction will go well.
I'll the watch monday or tuesday, so I'll show you.

Thanks to all because I have learnt a lot about this kind of bussiness.

The watch in the pics is gen. Regardless of how many gen parts you put in a franken build the case will always tell the truth and that case is clearly gen.

You can however end up buying a gen watch with a rep movement so watch out.

Few low res pictures and no pictures of the movement, you need to ask many more pictures and details to be sure....

Looks genuine, at least the insert, bezel assembly, xtal, and dial do lol. The steel on the watch also has a very gen shine. I’m willing to bet it’s gen. But you can never be too sure nowadays.

100% Gen look at the SEL look how the light perfectly reflects to both of the sides completly perfect Witz a perfect line.

Not even a ARF version can do that only in certain perspectives gen do it in every perspective.
