some ppl are relentless, oof. I didn’t really pay attention to the watch itself, I just saw the word Batman and the jubilee bracelet then just assumed that was the wrong watch. That would be my mistake, guess I’m an idiot 🙃
Don't worry about asking.
As a result of medium supply and incredibly high demand, most desirable rolex watches are not readily available at an authorised dealer. Instead, you have to put your name on a "waiting list" to show your interest. After several years, you might get lucky and be offered a watch that you can buy.
If you don't want to wait you can buy the watch from other market places like chrono24 or others...eg. fb mp...but those are offered at the real market value, which might in some cases be double the list price for the gmt II models.
So yes this price would be incredibly low even though it is above the list price.
Doesn't matter as no one but VIP's can get them at list price. There are 300 people on waiting lists at every authorized dealer and they only get 8-10 pieces per year.
The current asking price for a GMT Batman on Jubilee in the secondary market is $17,000+
Correct, I see it. I’m just trying to understand how that reveals it’s a 126710. Also what does 126710 represent? Is that the movement mechanism?
(New to this and seeking knowledge)
It does represent that. Mainly it represents it’s an older model of the same reference. Not sure when they updated this reference but the 116710 most likely has smaller power reserve etc. the older reference dials do not have the coronet between Swiss and made
Its the reference number 116710blnr is an older model with the last gen movement called 3185 the watch on the photo is the newer one (or trys to be one) 126710blnr with the 3285 caliber
And the 116710 never came on the jubilee bracelet if 'm right, another hint that its an 126
I second the suspiciously low sentiment. Stay away. No easy way to check if it’s authentic unfortunately. But asking the seller to meet at an AD and verify it’s a gen, should be your next step. If he declines, you have your answer.
The ADs are not going to do it, no way. Unless they take the watch apart and verify everything is legit. If the AD verify it's legit w/out taking it apart and if it turns out to be fake? Is the AD going to take on that responsibility? I don't think so. And why would the person selling the watch, even if it's legit, let you/AD take his watch apart to verify authenticity? What if after everything checks out and you say "no, I change my mind and don't want to buy it now"?
Shady. Don’t look for watches on fb market. Always buy from an AD or trusted seller.
There was a guy on TRF who just got scammed out of $14k…because he tried to save a couple of bucks…don’t be that guy.
I’ve found most ADs won’t do that on the spot and it takes time for them to inspect. I’d proactively reach out to third party stores to see which one do. Does it come with box and more importantly, papers? If not, maybe the price reflects that.
Thank you. The ad shows box and papers (and a few more pics which I didn't include here) . I'll try and get more info from the seller. They have an actual FB profile and do not appear to be some bot, but you never know if they've been hacked.
I have a friend who owns a jewelry store (not an AD) who told me if I'm ready to buy a Rolex, he can connect me with some trusted friends in the industry. He might be able to help here.
wow that's awesome! good luck with your purchase, crossing my fingers for you. I've been on the hunt for a jubilee bracelet (already have a couple oyster bracelets). lucky this one comes with it.
In the future know that most ADs wont do this and also vast majority of them wouldn’t know what to look for. You’d have a better shot posting pics of the watch once in hand to watch and rep watch subs
There’s a lot of suspicious stuff on this add. Wrong reference number and wrong nickname. The asking price is just about what retail plus tax is give or take a few bucks depending on state and county. ADs do not authenticate watches. Only Rolex service centers will do that. If it’s too good to be true……
Run away from this.
This is what scammers do. They underprice the watch by a few thousand hoping to find someone so desperate for the watch that they throw away all semblance of common sense.
Buying a Rolex on FB marketplace is a no go. Don’t ever do it. There is zero buyer protection and most of the time it’s either fake or stolen. Note the really low price for it.
There’s tons of places you buy this watch online. Even eBay has some form of authentic guarantee and buyer protection in case it is a fake. Buy from a really reputable dealer that has been vetted or at the very least eBay….avoid FB marketplace, Craigslist, etc
This post is why scamming works lol. Stop QUESTIONING and start being 100% confident that it is bull shit and quit putting your energy into it.
The people who go along with the scams and ask “well if they’re going to give me a cashiers check then how is it a scam” are even DUMBER than the scammer….
Does anybody need me to slap them so they wake up from their dream before getting scammed? I’ll gladly do it for you…
The one posted yesterday was not a new profile. The guy had years of profile pics up and people commenting on it.
I wasn't looking for a Rolex in marketplace, it just showed up in my news feed. It is gone now though.
99.9% a scam, bait and switch, or it was stolen. Unless the guy is willing to meet at a reputable watch maker that will open it up and verify its legit i would stay away.
Dude. No AD is going to authenticate a watch for you. That’s ridiculous. No trusted dealer will do it either unless they’re considering buying it themselves. Why would they give away their time and services to save you money? You want a watch authenticated you’re going to pay a watchmaker for their time.
Also this is a rep. Blue AR on Cyclopes looks wrong.
Why would anyone buy a Rolex from FB marketplace?? Place is already a cesspool of scammers.
Buy from AD or pay up a bit and get from well-vetted grey dealer.
Very suspiciously low
The picture is not even of the correct model
A lot of ppl call it “Batman on jubilee”, not everyone calls it a Batgirl
The picture is of the current gen, not the 116 version listed
lol, you're an idiot. 126710 is what is pictured, not a 116710. This has nothing to with batman vs batgirl lol.
seems nice calling everyone an asshole, asshole
some ppl are relentless, oof. I didn’t really pay attention to the watch itself, I just saw the word Batman and the jubilee bracelet then just assumed that was the wrong watch. That would be my mistake, guess I’m an idiot 🙃
Pardon the ignorance as I’m still learning, but isn’t the retail for these $10,900?

Yes, plus tax is the price he’s asking… Still reference number doesn’t match his listing

watch pictured is a 126710 - notice the crown between Swiss and made
How does the crown reveal that information?
Not the crown for winding - the coronet logo between Swiss and made at six o’clock
Correct, I see it. I’m just trying to understand how that reveals it’s a 126710. Also what does 126710 represent? Is that the movement mechanism? (New to this and seeking knowledge)

Got it, thanks for the insight! Very interesting learning how in depth these watches get.
Its the reference number 116710blnr is an older model with the last gen movement called 3185 the watch on the photo is the newer one (or trys to be one) 126710blnr with the 3285 caliber And the 116710 never came on the jubilee bracelet if 'm right, another hint that its an 126
Your Spidey senses should be going off. Be very very careful. That price sounds too good to be true
I second the suspiciously low sentiment. Stay away. No easy way to check if it’s authentic unfortunately. But asking the seller to meet at an AD and verify it’s a gen, should be your next step. If he declines, you have your answer.
Are ADs willing to do this?
Unless AD has an in house watchmaker on site (most don’t) they probably can’t tell the fakes either.
The ADs are not going to do it, no way. Unless they take the watch apart and verify everything is legit. If the AD verify it's legit w/out taking it apart and if it turns out to be fake? Is the AD going to take on that responsibility? I don't think so. And why would the person selling the watch, even if it's legit, let you/AD take his watch apart to verify authenticity? What if after everything checks out and you say "no, I change my mind and don't want to buy it now"?
One can change their mind on buying, but one shouldn’t be selling fake watches as gens. Nobody should fork out $10k+ on an unauthenticated watch.
Try this and let us know!
If i was ever to buy a rolex it would never be on Facebook lol
Seriously who tf is dropping that much cash on FB
I’ve bought like 6 cars on FB lmao you usually meet in person
I’ve never heard of a counterfeit car
😂😂😂
You said who dropping that much cash on FB…. It’s me lmao I’ve spent 10x this on “Facebook”
Bruhhhhhh 😂😂 a car ?? You know damn well what im talking bout
Scam. Never buy a watch from Facebook. FB Marketplace is for buying a leaf blower.
I think a proper vetting of the seller is required here, with a requirement to do an in-person inspection and pick up.
Well, the ad is already gone. So he either sold it in the last 12 hours or it was a scam. Good info here though, so thank you all for the review.
Shady. Don’t look for watches on fb market. Always buy from an AD or trusted seller. There was a guy on TRF who just got scammed out of $14k…because he tried to save a couple of bucks…don’t be that guy.
It didn’t sell lol
Yes, definitely. I am going to suggest we meet at an AD for an inspection since I am definitely not an expert.
I’ve found most ADs won’t do that on the spot and it takes time for them to inspect. I’d proactively reach out to third party stores to see which one do. Does it come with box and more importantly, papers? If not, maybe the price reflects that.

Thanks! I'll update after I get more info.
In the future know that most ADs wont do this and also vast majority of them wouldn’t know what to look for. You’d have a better shot posting pics of the watch once in hand to watch and rep watch subs
***RUN AWAY ASAP***
Any Rolex on FB Marketplace should immediately be suspect. The date window doesn't look right.
Probs fake. Could always buy at dealer post authentication
There’s a lot of suspicious stuff on this add. Wrong reference number and wrong nickname. The asking price is just about what retail plus tax is give or take a few bucks depending on state and county. ADs do not authenticate watches. Only Rolex service centers will do that. If it’s too good to be true……
As a reptimer I'd mostly focus on the serial number and presence of free sprung balance.
In the photo this is a 126710BLNR. Red flag.
Run away from this. This is what scammers do. They underprice the watch by a few thousand hoping to find someone so desperate for the watch that they throw away all semblance of common sense.
It’s really not that nice anymore, kind of over desired.
Doesn't the jubilee make it a batgirl and not a Batman or am I just that hungover this morning 🤔
That is a 126710 reference which makes the process even more suspicious….
Too good to be true. I would do a thorough check, aligned rehaut, 20x zoom check, check free sprung weights, font, etc.
Buying a Rolex on FB marketplace is a no go. Don’t ever do it. There is zero buyer protection and most of the time it’s either fake or stolen. Note the really low price for it.

What will it take for people realize fb marketplace is a cesspool

I saw this. He has a new profile too, dude. It’s a dead giveaway.
The one posted yesterday was not a new profile. The guy had years of profile pics up and people commenting on it. I wasn't looking for a Rolex in marketplace, it just showed up in my news feed. It is gone now though.
Way too low. Scammer.
Fake - buy from a trusted source.
99.9% a scam, bait and switch, or it was stolen. Unless the guy is willing to meet at a reputable watch maker that will open it up and verify its legit i would stay away.
Suspiciously low!!! Go grey (reputable) if you can’t AD it
Lol
Dude. No AD is going to authenticate a watch for you. That’s ridiculous. No trusted dealer will do it either unless they’re considering buying it themselves. Why would they give away their time and services to save you money? You want a watch authenticated you’re going to pay a watchmaker for their time. Also this is a rep.

If pawn stars has taught me anything. Offer 3 k and buy it for 6 🤣🤣🤣
Fake.
Why would anyone buy a Rolex from FB marketplace?? Place is already a cesspool of scammers. Buy from AD or pay up a bit and get from well-vetted grey dealer.
Bad fake
This is either fake or a scammer . Price is Waaaaay too low
Scam fake shit
If it’s too good to be true…..
It’s a Batgirl not a Batman….
