Have the timepiece authenticated by a Rolex authorized service center. My suggestion. đź‘Ť

Maybe some parts are not original. So best to have it authenticated. Even if you spend.
Geross.

But the answer is the same as you got on the other forums, including TRF. Don’t do it. There are several red flags, with the bezel insert, dial, etc, and given that you are joining these forums and posting this-people will be suspect. I mean no ill will, ...

Someone on the other thread specifically suggested I post it here. I will write up everything I can, post it and then not worry. I have been presented with very strong evidence that this watch has been documented since at least the 1980's had the bezel, h...

I know it sounds crazy. I feel crazy. I just got banned from RolexForums because instead of just accepting the first opinion that was posted there, I kept asking questions and posting new pictures and information I received as I received it. They told me ...

But the paint on the seconds hand looks very, very out of place. But that aside, I will echo the sentiments of the other commenters. If you have any doubts at all, that's enough to walk away on a purchase of this magnitude.

You are not the first to point out the weirdness of the hands. They are definitely highly suspect to me. The whole watch is suspect, that is why I have been asking around. I wont be buying this, but I might be asking more questions about 6542's!

Vintage Rolex is a huge minefield. I was shocked at how one of the most reputable vintage Rolex dealers in my area did to sell a "completed" watch. It left a huge distaste in my mouth when I found out the local RSC was in cahoot. OP, by the way, Philip St...

Yeah, things are crazy and get worse every day. Thank you for your input. Over at the Rolex Forum, he literally authored THE THREAD about identifying vintage Rolex originality and it seemed like they respected RolexPassionReport..... Who the heck can I tr...

You are making the assumption that I am nefarious. That I am wanting something for nothing. I am fully willing and able to pay fair market value for this watch. The problem is, I have no idea what fair market value is. I came to the forum because I did no...
Thank you

I came trying to learn. I apologize that my method of collecting information is to ask a lot of questions and engage in discussion. When I have time, I dive deep. I started to become obsessed with trying to appease the egos on the forum. I spoke so very c...

OK, I didn't know the term 'newbie' was bad. I have been interested in Rolex for a long time. Ive never used the forums. I have read, researched and learned what I can about the watches I am interested. I clarified the term several time. I am not new to w...

I stand by everything I said minus the profanity. Many of the users were cool. When they started showing up in threads on other forums telling me that posting requests to other forums makes me suspect and when I was told I was ignoring the red flags, or w...
