jchurch Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I don't really know... I looked through the feed back to see what else he was selling and back in November of 09 he sold a vintage rolex for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 After having a look at the ebay sale page. I would suggest leaving it. He has 94% feedback and there is no photo of the other side of the bracelet clasp. If it was a gen there would be better photos and close ups of all sides.

slickdick Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Case looks fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyberetta Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 This is a gen...maybe an aftermarket bracelet, but the case (head) is gen. The dial also looks original and not a redial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Heres a pic of my 16013 franken: Got 4 160xx frankens all have the little bulge around the tube area, though how pronaunced thay are vary on each case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 This item has a number of issues - Oddly shaped caseOdd date font (could be an overlay)No pics of movementLow previous sales numbersTerrible previous sales satisfaction percentage (anything lower than 100% with less than 200 previous Rolex sales is cause for concern - 94.7% should be a BIG RED warning light, regardless of the total number) I would let someone else risk getting taken. DJs (from reliable sellers with good, lengthy sales histories) are common on ebay. Wait, watch & you will win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Agreed i would not buy from this seller, the datewheel with the spaced 3 and 0 is kinda questionable. The case however is genuine. Another pic: genuine 16014 case 75139xx serial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I would generally agree about the 94% feedback, but if you read it, it's a negative from someone that apparently is [censored] because he didn't get to buy the item. Not that it was defective or wrong. "what a waster. item won he said he had a reserve. not true. said sold 3days ago" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 thanks for all the info, i have already got a gen dj. but mine has not got the bulge at the crown and thats why i asked. would of bought it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
