Rolex....no papers

[mercfunder]

Been offered a Rolex by a reliable source (retail), but they have no papers for it.

Would you guys buy it or run a mile?

The seller has offered to guarantee it's genuine etc.

Depends what you want to do with it.

Sell it on at a profit? no chance.

Keep and wear it? Yes why not - Providing the price was right and it was mechanically sound.

What is the watch, does it have service paperwork (particularly from Rolex) and how much is it up for?
Buying one without paperwork isn't a problem, especially so if the vendor will guarantee it, but it all depends on what it's up for.

Looking at it for my wife not to re-sell.

Can't help with the valuation on that I'm afraid.
Do you know if the dial is an original Rolex one or a customised one? There tends to be a reasonable difference in value and Rolex won't touch a customised watch.

Probably worth dropping Dom H @ Hackett Watches an email.
