    Latest catch once in a life time find

    Blurred pictures hardly any description did mention it needed a battery


    Took a gamble put in a offer and was accepted went to collect but had no case opener with me wasnt 100% sure it was real myself till I got home

    Offered at ridiculously low price did say to the seller it might be real. But they wern't bothered absolutely no interest in watches reply was well if its real you have got a bargain.

    Looks like its been sat in a drawer for years

    (not stolen been checked on the registry online)

    Usually these sellers see the word Rolex and immediately think it is worth more than it actually is.
    Great pick up.

    Hey you mentioned a registry to check serial numbers of watches to ensure they arent stolen. Do you mind sharing? I'd like to bookmark it for myself!
