Rolex Ceramic 18K

Chaps,

Just seen an ad for a lovely 2007 Rolex 18K Ceramic in Hertfordshire does £14K sound a good price, the watch
was serviced in 2009.

Is it me or are those lugs a bit too rounded as a result of polishing?

Ceramic from 2007?

This is my SS Ceramic GMT2. The lugs are much squarer.

Retract that, Rolex introduced the Ceramic in 07. Compared side by side in photographs the lugs look similar. It's not my cup of tea (the gold) but as long as papers check out ok.

Obvs at 14K one would take the watch to be verified at a Rolex boutique etc.

It's probably genuine, but it looks like it's been polished heavily by someone who didn't do it correctly and it appears to have deformed the case. This is what it should look like, note the sharper, flatter lugs:

I'll ask them for better pics of the lug sharpness.

Good idea.

That Blowers one is C18k and brand new. I'd be having a haggle with them for that personally.

Then have a look at the Blowers one, it looks better value. I would probably not pay teens of thousands for a gold Rolex but if that's your bag I'd be seeking out a new old stock one, rather than a heavily used and badly polished one.

I have no connection whatsoever with Blowers by the way.

Why do you almost never see them here then?
