That's beautiful!!Mine is a vintage model. Manufacture can be IDed by serial and movement number. The watch and band is Rolex but I knew the diamond dial was “aftermarket” and I chose to put the purple pink face on, again aftermarket.
I get a specialist watchmaker to service my watch because Rolex is “funny” about modifications
I really love this!!!! Could you tell me the mm from left to right? The edge to edge diameter that is...
With all original links, yes. A ladies Datejust is 26mm wide. A ladies Oyster (older style no date) is 24mm.I really love this!!!! Could you tell me the mm from left to right? The edge to edge diameter that is...
Do Rolexes come with enough links for 7.5"? Is it hard to procure extra links?
There’s actually a few “parts” to buying a pre loved Rolex.
Is it all Rolex?
Firstly you need to check the movement is genuine, that’s quite easy to remove the back and check the movement and removing the band because the watches serial number is under one lug and the watch model under the other.
Next, the band. Genuine bands are important and there are replicas (still stainless and gold but aftermarket) and Chinese fakes. Again watchbands have serial numbers and looking at these plus the quality and positioning of logos will tell you.
Thirdly and less important to many is aftermarket dials and/ or bezels. Often diamond set bezels and diamond set faces are “aftermarket”.
Looking at your watch I would be confident that the watch, band, bezel and face are original and $2,500 is a good price.
Make sure the watch is keeping good time as a Rolex service is around $500!
What's your wrist size and the size of the watch?
I'm eyeballing a ladies Rolex and I'm afraid it would be too tiny on my 7"+ hoof
You didn't mention anything about the fabulous counter help you had today!
