Sorry guys, a little quick help needed :)
A very close friend of mine, want to buy his first rolex. Upon inspection, he found a little "dot" (bubble) near the "6" . Definitely not a dust.
Is this a defect (paint bubble)? Something suspicious of fake dial? Everythig else is OK, including the serial number match the guara ntee card (it is a pre+owned, year 2000).
Thanks very much for your suggestion

Actually the price is decent and quite low, but my friend does not think too much about the price; he thinks more about the flawlessness of the dial. So he passed it, after heard my suggestion.
You may have to open the watch:
and verify that it is in the hope that it is only some particle of dust that is on the dial and not a problem with the dial itself, if it were a particle on the dial the questions would be how did it get there, that is more difficult to explain It could e...
Thanks, Quinto. The seller refuse to open the dial and the movement.
He only showed that the serial number between the lugs is correct according to the papers. Anyway, my friend has let this go, as he is looking for flawless dial. It is his first rolex, so I understand he needs a good experience in the beginning
