This 114300 is a fake or legit ?

Good morning,

I am looking for a 114300 rhodium. this will be my first Rolex.
an American seller on Facebook offers me one at a bargain price, which worries me.

knowing nothing about recent Rolex, I prefer to ask you for your opinion and your advice.

here are the pictures he sent me

Was this offered to you in a watch trading group on Facebook?
It's tough to tell based on the pictures the seller has provided.
I would ask him for clear pictures of the engraving on the rehaut.
If you don't mind me asking, what's the "bargin" price you're being offered? If it's 20% below market and sounds too good to be true....it probably is.

I don’t see any red flag.
Dial is a fine sunburst, I don’t see much of that in your photos (kinda there). I suppose photo compression flattened out the fine details.

FB is a fake/scam heaven. Proceed with extreme caution.
I’d pay thru PayPal linked to Amex. Double protection.
Good luck. Let us known if you’ll proceed.

the price is $5500. I think it's too good to be true.
anyway, with customs duties, importing into Europe will be too expensive. and not being in the underworld trade, I don't know of any way to avoid these fees.

On the fake watch forums, they assemble fake Rolexs using real parts. You need to see the movement to know if this is real or fake. Be aware there are decorated fake movements (see the image below for fake GMT movements; real is on the left) so you need to really carefully compare them to an image of a real movement.

I don’t think it’s fake but I think rip-off alarms are ringing everywhere. You said this person offered you this watch? Did you post a WTB? That’s an instant attraction for scammers. It’s like moths to a light. Plus anytime I see a WTB for a modern watch that is sold everywhere I wonder what the person is looking for? Are they unsatisfied with advertised prices and seeking something better via private sales?

Ask the person to video chat with you via Facebook messenger and see their face and the watch together. Then tell them you’ll come to the US and meet them face to face to complete the transaction. I think their responses will let you know the truth behind this offer.

As long as this wart is still on the fakes, all is good. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

Here is a post from that TowBoat character that repeatedly tried to pass off his fake collection as genuine. Different watch/movement, I know, but at the time, on multiple occasions, he claimed he had just purchased it. So, it seems like they are still making the fake movements that way.

A price that low combined with Facebook marketplace will most likely not have a happy ending.

From the pictures it's hard to tell. I am surprised to see the full serial number though. Buy the seller. Not just the urge to have the watch in your collection

I took the unanimous advice, and bought mine from a reputable European seller.

I'm absolutely delighted. I love this discreet elegance, its timeless lines mixed with touches of modernity.
It completely changes me from vintage Omega.
