I bought this on Ebay thinking that they would authenticate it for me. They did not. Can anyone tell if this is genuine from Rolex or not? I am okay if it is a service case. It just needs to be genuine.
eBay authentication program is for complete watches not watch parts; though, I would not have trusted them to be the source of expertise with this anyways. However, for the $10K purchase price of this case, I highly recommend asking for help before purchasing vs after. How much research/how many 6538’s have you looked at prior to purchasing this? Based on my limited knowledge, I believe this is a fake. The case looks like it was made yesterday. The lugs look short and thick as opposed to the long slim elegance of a 6538 case. I’m sure someone with more experience will correct me if I’m wrong, but this does not look right. Edited to add- this 6538 from Wind Vintage for comparison of case shape and bezel font.
Again not an expert, but the 0s on the bezel seem a bit square compared to most of the others on the net. Yours Sothebys Hodinkee Eric Wind
On pictures 6 and 7 there are no traces / signs of wear of a worn metal-bracelet (end links)..... @Scarecrow Boat has probably a corresponding picture
It looks like the seller has re-listed it. Maybe others can report it also to get it taken down https://www.ebay.com/itm/3255540746...KmhgT_1QhG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPYPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
