I’m looking to buy my first DateJust. I’ve seen this one on a well known website. I’d very much appreciate comments on whether you think the dial has been repainted and the case heavily polished. Unfortunately I don’t have pictures of the movement.

Any advice appreciated.

 

Difficult to say regarding the dial print without seeing the watch in the flesh, however I notice a few red flags:

- The top right serif of the X in 'Rolex' appears to be smudged.
- The hands don't match the hour pips.
- The bezel fluting looks quite rounded.

All that taken into account, I don't think I'd pay the price they're asking.

 

Many thanks for your comments. Much appreciated.
