rkdk Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Unless it was a face to face deal I would not do it. The only way to pay for these is by bank wire and that is not the safest way. PayPal will not cover anything more than $5000.so in this case you are at the mercy of the seller. You have no recourse if the deal goes bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I agree. I would fly in and get the watch. No question. Ive done deals before, and always face to face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I would say OK for the deal, let's have the watch serviced by a Rolex service center, I'll pay for it, and you'll get your $14,000 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 He is asking 14.000 euros for it, because it needs the service. Service by authorized rolex dealer is around 800 eur, so im thinking its a good deal :-) I would fly from the US for that deal ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 A very nice V72 modified to Rolex 727: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=250650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I agree that the 14K euros is a great price. I do think the Rolex service will run more than 800 euros though. But even if it cost's 2K euros for a service, it's still a good deal IMO. A Rolex service is the best way to go on these watches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Rolex service is the best way to go on these watches!if he really wants to sell it and have him get it serviced and you tell him you pay the service charge, if he's not willing to agree then don't do it. There are so many parts on this watch that can be replicated it could affect the price tremendously.

theblueprince Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 So is the movement stamped 72, 726, 72C or 727 on the baseplate? Edit - Closer look and can see it's 727. Checking against ref pics it all looks OK. If you're spending that much money though then first buy the seller and second get it checked out by a real expert, not us armchair interweb hobbyists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I figured....there's only so long you can stare at movement pics though and I couldn't see anything obvious. Like I said though the best experts who've handled hundreds of these over a lifetime of buying/selling/owning them will likely tell in an instant and I'd def get it checked by one of them if the seller is not a known good guy or respected trader who will back it unconditionally.

alligoat Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 The movement looks ok to me. The attachment screws are in the right place, gears are the right color. Balance is correct. The backside of the case at the pushers is correct. Like I say, if you have Rolex service it, you'll be all set for the next 5-7 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam007 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) I'll let the experts chime in... Great looking watch Btw.. Edited April 14, 2015 by pam007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 It looks good & I would ditto alligoat's comments regarding Rolex service. But, as always, to be safe, buy the seller before you buy the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOATmaster Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm curious as to how much he's asking for, if you don't mind telling us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx959porsche Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Looks good, but I've read that even Christies/Sotheby's occasionally auction off vintage Rolex that turn out to be not authentic, hopefully by accident. Usually real movements, but repped dials, Scary how far quality in reps has come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
