Appreciate all the help! This is why I love this pace. You guys are incredible. Yes, right around 1980 for this guy. It was last serviced in '07 apparently. I'll have movement pics tomorrow. Did ALL of the 94010's come with folded link bracelet in the late 70's and early 80's? This one doesn't have folded which he insisted was original. I'll get a pic

I'm not sure, but if it was 70s it would've definitely been folded links but the bracelet looks good from the tiny glimpse I saw. This is definitely worth following through and checking on, but don't let the stars in your eyes blind you. Get serial number pics as well, and I'm assuming this isn't something you can check out in person?

I'm not getting the best feeling from this one after comparing the case back and crown guards with Genuine

Hmmm. It's an interesting situation because I don't think I've seen a rep caseback like that before. Have you? It has the groove on the outside that I don't think has been repped. Could be wrong though!

This is interesting. It's a slide he has of a pic he apparently took for insurance purposes when he got it back in 1980.

80's should have 78360 with tudor shield clasp. Up until 1971 they were shipped with a rolex branded 9315 folded link. Even so, many are seen with rolex 93150 bracelets.

The 78360 was not a folded link bracelet.

From the clasp it looks like a 93150.

I'm going to retract my statement regarding the case, it actually looks pretty good, we'll just have to see some more pics [emoji2]

Serial number should clarify the year. He said 1980 so should be 930,000's. We'll see! Definitely not getting my hopes up though.

I was thinking the case back and crown guards looked funny from the back angle but I looked at mine and a bunch of pics online, that's what I was referring to.

Yeah to me the case seemed good to go. Just thought dial, hands, and insert seemed off. I'll get back with you guys tomorrow.

Pearl and insert are aftermarket - if he didn't volunteer that info then he's not an honest seller.

That caseback has been reproduced but by very high end case makers. Phong and Yuki both have them but are very expensive.
