Authentic Oyster Perpetual?

peteschaffner · Jun 10, 2024

Hi folks,

I'm a very happy owner of a vintage Omega Seasmaster (purchased through the forum) but have recently gotten interested in getting a new Oyster as a daily driver. I was wondering if there were any experts out there that might help determine the authenticity of this watch/post.

Here is the listing in question: https://www.chrono24.com/rolex/oyster-perpetual-34--id33345507.htm

The price seems almost too good compared to what I'm seeing from other 34mm, silver-dialed Oyster Perpetual listings.

I'm awaiting a response from the seller, but wanted to take your temperature on it 😀

Thanks in advance for your advice and help!
Pete

Please post photos and not just links.

Oh and the photos are terrible on the link so no one here is going to be able to definitively respond. If you are interested, request photos.

And even those photos are enough to doubt the condition description of "unworn." Has the watch really been sitting in a drawer unused for 18 months? Price to good to be true and "negotiable" at that? Notwithstanding Chrono24's certificate of authenticity, I'd be very suspicious.

Thanks for your feedback all, and sorry I forgot to post photos ‍♂️! I had the same feeling about the photos being poor quality and just in general the whole thing feeling too good to be true. Really happy to hear I wasn't unreasonable with my hesitations.

Even though I don't plan on buying it, here are the photos for future folks who might find it useful.
