Rolex Daytona on the bay

Recommended Posts

I suspect the price will be bid higher, alot higher, before the auction closes (assuming ebay security does not remove the listing first). I would be a little concerned that the seller has no previous watch selling history (previous sales are B&O remotes) and the movement looks like it may not have been fit into the case properly (the crown/stem looks like it is mis-aligned). But, other than that, and assuming the seller's description is 100% accurate, it looks like a (franken) gem, especially since he is also including a steel bezel.

a.) That's not an original Rolex 727.

b.) This auction will close at over $6000.

With those assumptions, what will you be willing to bid?

I'd seen the gold Daytona, but the big flaw on that watch is the pointer on the balance bridge- first clue that it's not a real Rolex movement w/ the microstella balance. but as avitt says- the other isn't a genuine Rolex movement- these are frankens, but even they have a certain value in the marketplace. There was a gold Daytona similar to the one above that went for around $16K 4-6 months ago- ridiculous, but that's the market- people are buying stuff w/ no real knowledge- more money than brains!

Sorry, but the 'refinished' dial is s-h-i-t-e (just look at the chiseled crown), the seller's previous sales are mostly model cars (no significant history with collectible watches that I can see), he accepts only money order or cashier's check & I am not even sure the pushers are asymmetrically situated in the 'gold replacement' case. This one spells trouble from the get-go.
