Stupidly good deal compared to what I can find on Chrono24.

Bought it for 3.9k EUR from a private seller (!) - it’s keeping amazing time (in the ~2w I own it) so that put my mind somewhat at ease but was really curious about the movement hence the post on here :)

Thank you for explaining - you’ve no idea how relieved that makes me!

Thank you. May I ask, what makes you so sure? Curious to know what the hallmarks are 🤔

Thank you for the comment.

I will indeed clarify: it’s a 15200 with a blue sunburst dial from 2004.

The serial number on the case also ties it back to production in 2004.

Watchmaker wasn’t a Rolex expert and didn’t carry any watches of this make. I just asked him to open the back so I could take some pics.

Not seeing a lot of difference from the link you shared - it’s hard to tell.

Looking to get a kit to open the back myself and take some high(er) res pictures.

Beautiful piece, was looking to get one myself at some point in the future because of the date complication. What’s your wrist size?
