Have the opportunity to buy this Rolex. The price quoted is $3200. US. These are the pictures available. Is the watch authentic and would be much obliged to hear your opinion on the price?
Thanks in advance.

Private/Dealer?
If dealer is it serviced?

What has your research shown the current market range for these refs?

The condition of the gasket makes me believe that the watch has not been serviced for a while.

Dealer
I am finding the price research a bit more difficult than omega. So many variations in the metal, fluted bezel vs plain. And then the year of production which is also much longer period than typical for omega. On the whole the prices I have seen are more than the asking price here. Well after ignoring the low prices that give away that it’s a fake/scam.
Service history is unknown

Thank you. That’s possible. Poor quality service is also something that possible here even for a Rolex. but is the movement authentic?

I'm not seeing any obvious problems at first glance based on the low-res photos. In terms of value, it's pretty much the entry point 5-digit DJ. The TT models aren't as desirable as full SS, the dial is plain matte, and the absence of a bracelet is a major hit to the value. But it looks like a decent example, and if you like it, the price isn't crazy.

But if you have some reason to be suspicious of the watch, those photos are not going to allow us to authenticate it with any degree of certainty.

The watch is good. It looks near mint. Fair price for condition. You don’t see them like that every day.
