Dear All,

727 is the Rolex modified V72 and this sure isn’t one.

Based on the back it sure looks a 72, but to make sure which variant of it this might be it’s needed to see the dial side layout.

Ok , thank you very much!
I’ll ask more pictures to the seller.

I was looking at this screw..




At my eyes looks like a v72 converted into 727.

I want to buy it for a new 6263 build.

thanks

By no means, the finishing is totally different, the balance isn’t yellow, the antishock spring is different, the wheels aren’t plated in rose gold. A genuine 727 is extremely valuable.
