Does this look genuine

Can you open up the bracket and get clasp code, and look under the bracelet to find any corresponding serial numbers etc?

It looks solid from what I can see mate. But I’m learning every day like everyone else!

I always thought of what I'd do if I purchased a gen piece from another person, non-AD, etc.

I'd insist before purchasing that it is authenticated, even if you pay for the process.

Just my take on it. Nice looking piece regardless.

It comes with all paperwork. Along with the latest service records. I just thought it was underpriced. Therefore a little skeptical.

We live in a world of fabricated products made to look genuine. I would 100% consult with someone that could authenticate it. It does indeed seem priced a bit low, but still not a $100 bill. I could be completely wrong. I don't know what money these would typically bring tbh.

Price seems pretty low and the “computer dial” is really really subtle in these photos which is odd. As they say, buy the seller, not the watch. Ask about the return policy if you’re not satisfied or it’s not authentic, that should tell you enough about the seller to proceed or not.

Of note beyond looking for a clear movement picture, the pictures are over saturated with reflective background light. Becuse of this, much is not clear and distinct (possibly on purpose). The baguetts are not clear, but seem to have more gold surround then I would expect from a factory dial, it's possible that they were done aftermarket, or it could be a rep dial. We need to see clear pictures of clasp codes, endlink codes and engravings between both lugs. Also, I would look for a close up of the dial to see the "computer dial" has the expected background texture.

As stated above, i would schedule a meeting at a local jeweler at least when meeting the buyer. Usually their check isn't expensive and you have clarity. If the buyer disagree, back out.

You've been offered this for $2,500?...very strange and by whom?

This watch is listed on Reptime watch exchange by 215 watches (they're also a professional dealer on Chrono 24 and have their own website).

It's up for $6,750 + shipping through the following links.




But to reiterate, you've been offered it at $2,500...sorry but it's not passing the sniff test for me.

It looks like stolen pics - what platform is being offered for sale on ? - you should report it.

I knew I'd seen that wedding band before, and the price is way too low.

That dial doesn't convince me. Apart from the pattern, the print quality of the text is meh. And, not sure about this, but the winding crown also looks off for this model.
