No but I don't care for watches

Do you know for a fact that it is legit? If I knew for a certainty that it was real, then I might consider it. If it was coming from someone I didn't know pretty well, I wouldn't pay 1200 for any Rolex for fear that it is a fake, especially since it doesn't work to check out the movements.

Cheap price, I wonder why it doesn't work. I'd be skeptical if it is real at that price.

No. Dont like the style. Wouldnt pay it anyway though.

No way

All it needs is a band, a dial, new bezel, new guts, and a new crystal and it is in perfect shape.

A non working Rolex for $1200 is a good deal if you know what you're getting. If you don't know what you're looking at, and you have to ask if it's a good deal, it probably is not.
I am a huge rolex sub mariner fan and consider myself to be somewhat knowledgeable, I think I would be concerned about buying that watch for $1200 unless I knew the specifics.
It's going to cost $700 just to get an overhaul from Rolex and that's assuming nothing inside is broken or needs to be replaced. Depending on what's causing it to not run, it could be as much as $3,000 not counting the basic overhaul cost.
To put it into perspective I just recently had my wifes 5513 non date repaired. It was $2400 just in parts alone....

It's hard to tell from the picture but it looks like an 1675. It's probably legit, and the price is probably in line with what they typically sell for in that condition. I'd plan on having $4,000 in it by the time it's all said and done. It could get even more expensive if you want to wear it on a bracelet and not a strap. Personally I think the chipped bezel insert and patina on the dial is cool so I wouldn't do anything other than get it running. But if you want it to look nice you're going to be spending a lot of money.

Time to look for a new watch.

I´m no expert, but an aficionado whose opinion is not totally disdainable.
What would it cost to get it going?
Band aside, something tells me there´s something fishy.
My two fins.

Thats 1 ugly watch. ..

Are you going to wear a watch that doesn't work? Not all watches can, or are worth fixing. My dad has a President that's got a worn out movement...it's pretty worthless outside of gold weight.

how much will it cost to make it fully functional?
I wouldn't do it, but I won't spend more than 200 tops
I'm done with that fancy crap
They got a lot of balls asking that much for a watch that will likely cost 2500 to fix

I would not buy it. It would be like going to a car lot and buying a car with body damage that didn't run. Seems like a huge money pit considering a regular tune-up cost me $600 last year and mine works. When all is said and done, you could have a lemon and be out $2k+ finding that out

Hard to tell from fuzzy pictures but if legit it is worth $1200. The dial has nice patina the hands have been replaced. The date wheel is replaced. The crown gaurds look good but the top right case lug looks over polished. No way to tell without high resolution scans. Could be totally fake.
