Hi, case looks polished on crown side and if the dial is original then tritium color is strange. And compare 7 and 5 plots, hope it is a reflection and not relume. Crown pushers bezel hands no idea.

I hate these photoshopped dealer photos, it's impossible to get a realistic sense of how the watch will look. You are contemplating a significant investment, so maybe the seller can provide some natural light photos from various angles.

Thanks, I’ll see if I can get some more photos. This is what I have been told:
“Complete with all original accessories including its hand written guarantee, original bracelet and invoice at the time of purchase, the watch has been lovingly taken care of the years.
Having been serviced at Rolex, the watch is fitted with up to date pushers and bezel insert and a new crystal. The numbers between the lugs are very crisp and easy to read and the dial is also in very nice and original condition.”

It's nice to have the original paperwork, definitely value-added. You should arrange to get good photos to check that everything adds up.

Translation, the watch has a service bezel and pushers. I wonder about the hands as well, but better photos will be needed.

Get him to snap good photos and text him to you. That’s the least the seller could do on a watch this valuable.

How does a service bezel and pushers effect value?
Surely someone looking to spend this sort of money on vintage Rolex should know the answer to this...

My suggestion is to ask for better natural pictures indoors and out. As well a picture with a UV light. Very hard to tell but it looks relumed (at least the hands). Do you have a picture of the movement and inside case back?? The screw down pushers are replacements. If you buy get a proper no questions asked return policy.
