Help!
Hello fellow watch enthusiasts I need your assistance on this one! I'm considering purchasing this vintage Rolex but I have a couple of concerns. My first concern is the size, it's only 34mm and I look at the 41mm Frederick Constant World Timer that I have now and IT looks kinda small. My second concern is there is no year listed so I don't know how old the watch is, it comes with box but obviously no papers! Question, would YOU pull the trigger on this one? Thanks!

Unless you're an expert authenticator, I'd be very cautious around vintage Rolex from dealers you don't know especially with the Stella dials. The incentives to cheat and franken are way too high.
I bought a watch from a local dealer with no papers,sent it to Rolex to get serviced no probs,most vintage watches have no papers,but I think the size will be an issue for you
I'm not an expert but i looks like a franken watch to me.
The date is out of proportion and the date magnifier is out of place aswell.
The hands don't seem authentic, the swiss made print is to dominant. The bracelett does not look authentic as well, look close, it does not fit.
The black gap at the bezel is clearly visible and the polishment is very suspicious.
The crown is totally false.
As mentioned i'm not a Rolex expert, but just look at the details.
This watch seems so wrong to me, i'm sorry and thats just the main points from the pictures.
If you like the tiffany/ baby blue colour go for a PRX in quarz or automatic.
It's the better and safer deal and the quality is probably better then most vintage rolexes as well.
