Quick question...is this Rolex legit?

 

Came across this one in local shop. I searched in google to find some reviews or better pictures...but couldn't find a single picture of thia dial configuration. Its a oyster perpetual date ref 15200, circa 1990s. Really appreciate if you could give some information.

I don't know about the watch but "omnilux.id" does not come up

What kind of site is it? ...  

Try this. Some sites here sometimes blocked access from foreign IP. But i can assure you that this seller is a very professional dealer and their stuff are really good.

Thanks but that's still a no go for me.

I have never seen a 15200 with rose gold hands and indices

on a blue dial, the lume inside the hands and on the dial plots looks way too white and fresh to be original Tritium. The Rolex experts might provide some more information to you but I would stay away personally. A Ref. 15200 is an extremely common watch ... 

Thanks. Indeedthe lume plotsand on hands look new.

Could it be that the previous owner had the watch refurbished by Rolex and asked for new lume plots and new hands?

True. Dial and hands could have been changed during service.

It is possible,

but remember that Rolex will never put combined yellow gold parts in a steel watch if the model does not belong to that line (Ref:15200)

This is new to me. AFAIK some newer model especially the Datejust (ref 16233) have steel case with blue dial and yellow gold indices.

 
By: hoseachandra : July 10th, 2024-19:17
But the older model like 15200 don't have.

Yes, but you would expect the service documentation?

 
By: dedestexhes : July 10th, 2024-15:19

True. Alas, the watch is sold without any papers.

That might be the case,

I see it has a T SWISS MADE T dial, which indicates a service dial. But the SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED font looks a bit sloppy to me. Shouldnt it be a serifed font? Do all service crystals now have an etched crown at six o clock? Serms h... 

have a look at the review of 15200

Thank you for the link. I agree that this is most likely a custom dial, which is very nice, but if Rolex refuse to service it, a big no for me.

Dial aside, I'd love to see the movement.

Apparently the watch is original at least as far as it can be seen

 
By: Quinto : July 10th, 2024-16:55
but with shared parts, the dial is for a yellow gold watch, the lines show this as well as the hands are in yellow gold and the date disc is in champagne color in the background which indicates that this disc also belonged to a steel-gold watch, these pie... 

The kerning on 'ROLEX' on the dial looks a bit sloppy...

...but maybe that's normal : )
