Lo' Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 A friend is being offered this watch for a sum through a ( not Rolex) reseller which is not offering any guarantee. Is this an authentic watch or a fake? The insert looks odd and so does the second hand. What's your take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetor Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) first of all, it's a 6202. And I have no idea if it's genuine or not, need better pictures. If I were to guess, it's not genuine.this is one of the variants, a waffle dial. Edited February 16, 2013 by praetor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 The hand look too fat and the dial looks like its been relumed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seacraft Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Not sure but I wouldn't begin to guess with hi-res shots of the movement, case/serial, and all aspects of the piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I agree, without hi res photos from every angle, including the movement, I wouldn't make a guess. Also when you say no guarantee, then I am guessing that there is no return if the watch turns out to be a fake, put together parts watch, etc? If that is the case, unless he's buying it for the same price you could buy a super franken of this watch, I would not buy. Any seller who sells a watch like this with a no return, "you buy it, it's yours", would be suspect in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 The quality of the pic alone says fake. Other than that, as best as I can make out, it looks like a rep or franken, but impossible to tell with any certainty based on a defocused pic. The 2 things it does have going for it is what looks like a 5.3mm crown, which would be correct for a 6202, & a stretched bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lo' Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Thanks everybody for the replies. Bottom line: The potential buyer has agreed a meeting with the seller at the local Rolex AD. The watch will be inspected by an expert in front of them.
