davids100 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Look into the description, there are several pics. 6234 with Daytona Dial = WTF Valjoux 72R in a Rolex = WTF The whole movement is [censored] up, 5 lines bridge in a 6234, not sure about that but pretty sure = WTF Lug engraving here is insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superlative Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 REPORT THIS [censored]!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Actually the watch doesn't look too bad. The movement is ok and yes it has a 5 line chrono bridge, but that could be a later replacement. Other good things are the ROW on the balance bridge- stands for Rolex Werks, the screw in the coupling clutch bridge indicates it's early. The 72 with the Valjoux trademark insignia is fine- these are V72 movements that Rolex used. Movement is anchored to the case in the correct Rolex positions. I have no problems with the movement whatsoever. The dial is an obvious replacement- it's a 6239 dial. Don't know if this was done by Rolex. If the dial and 5 line bridge are Rolex service parts, the watch is 100%. I couldn't tell from the pic, but the engraving at 12 must say 6234 which is consistent with the movement. Bracelet is 78350 w/ 571 ends- ok for a later replacement. the big question would be do you want to pay $20K for a watch with some updated parts. I certainly think it has a base value of $15K, IMO.

lhooq Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm with alligoat. Lots of updated and mismatched bits, but I'm not convinced that this listing is a deception. Also, I just don't know enough about the particulars of the 6234. All of my reference materials begin with the 6238--similar, but not quite the same.
