I am planning to buy a Rolex Starbucks 41MM. I don't have that much idea. Is this a real watch? There are certainly many professionals here and I thank you very much.

Do you know this individual?
Have they been referred by someone you know?
Do they have feedback / a history of selling genuine watches?
How did you find this watch?

Looks like he's taken those pics in an abandoned warehouse - look at the background. Just because he sends you pics of what may be a genuine Rolex, doesn't mean that's what you'll get when you hand over the money.
Or maybe you'll be purchasing a stolen watch.

If he's local meet up and your watch maker and time graph it. From there it will be pretty easy to figure out if its fake or stolen.

Meet up with a professional or buy from a trusted dealer. The watch in the pics looks legit, but you never know what actually shows up.

🤣🤣🤣🤣What will a time grapher tell you?

That the watch is accurate in time keeping?
From your standpoint all of my reps are real, they all keep time from 0 to +/-3 seconds a day.

Oh and btw, the watch on the pics is either a gen or has a gen clasp, gen crystal and gen bezel, gen hands and gen dial.

So either it's a super Franken or a gen.

Have you ever heard of revision and regulating?

It's very normal for clone movements and Asian ETAs to run withing cosc.

Ask @Oascom or @Nikz19

Nothing funny about that. A timegrapher won't help you with verifying a watch 😂

I have already purchased this watch and have tried to check almost all authenticity features. Still, I'm a little unsure. I'm happy to take new pictures. From which perspectives? Thanks for your help

Well, you can start with a dial close up to make sure it's the same the seller posted in the first place....
Then, if you wanna be sure sure, open the caseback and shoot.
