Limited Edition. Special rotor.

Swiss watch manufacturer DeWitt was founded in 2003 by Jérôme de Witt, an inventor whose lineage includes personalities such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Belgium’s King Leopold II. In a relatively short period of time DeWitt has created several collections of beautiful, distinct timepieces.

This bold, sporty DeWitt Academia Blackstream Chronograph is pre-owned, in near-mint condition, and part of a limited edition of only 250 timepieces. It features a self-winding mechanical automatic movement, DeWitt’s DW6005 caliber, 27 jewels, and a 48-hour power reserve.

Its case, constructed of grade 5 titanium with black PVD coating, measures 44 mm in diameter and features DeWitt’s signature toothed-bezel design. Beneath the antireflective sapphire crystal one finds a truly fascinating dial that showcases a black sun ray pattern and a subsidiary seconds and chronograph subdial arrangement that brings to mind a sports car’s speedometer setup. These subdials are visually connected with a unique grille-like design. The Arabic numerals and bezel catch the light in a way that makes one think of automotive chrome. The transparent case back allows one to witness the beautiful workings of the movement.

Limited-edition timepiece of 250 timepieces. Worldwide; fascinating, unique dial design reminiscent of a sports car’s speedometer setup; signature toothed bezel design.

We aim to source 100% authentic items in the most cost-effective ways, and pass all the savings to you. Our prices are firm, and are non-negotiable. Thank you.

Disclaimers

Water Resistance - We do not guarantee the water resistance of any watch. Although we may pressure test a watch prior to being shipped, we do not guarantee any watch to be waterproof or water resistant and do not cover any water issues under any type of warranty. One of the reasons is because there are too many life factors that can contribute to a watch not being water resistant anymore. Statistically, this applies to even the most careful of watch wearers ... show more show less
Box and Papers - All box and papers do is guarantee the box and papers are authentic. The bad guys know that people put trust into original papers so by putting genuine papers with a fake watch allows them to pull off a scam...and when the buyer finds out down the road the watch was fake, the scammer is long gone. The only way to check authenticity is by having the watch checked. As with most preowned watches, the original box and/or papers are not available because they were not retained by the original owner. ... show more show less
Warranty – This warranty applies to the movement of the watch only. Watch movements are warrantied to perform as described in the BeckerTime item description during the warranty period. This warranty does not include the battery, strap, links, clasp, springbars, case, crown, bezel, dial, hands, screws, crystal and/or diamonds. Damage to a watch due to accident, neglect or mistreatment is not covered by this warranty. Also not included is the loss or theft of the watch or any damage done by loss or theft. Damage caused by fire, pressure, water, or natural disaster is not covered. This warranty does not cover any water damage—including, but not limited to crystal fogginess, movement damage, dial or bezel damage, seals, gaskets, liquid penetration and any issues pertaining to water. Repairs, alterations, tampering, substitution and/or addition of parts, custom work and/or modification of any kind done without prior written consent from BeckerTime and not performed by BeckerTime will void this warranty. This warranty replaces the original manufacturers warranty. This warranty is non-transferable. ... show more show less
Processing Time - All items are shipped from our facility FOUR (4) BUSINESS DAYS from the date payment is received. Please be patient as this processing time is necessary to prepare each shipment with the very best care. ... show more show less
International Bidders - Most countries charge customs duties taxes and fees on items being imported from the USA. You are responsible to know your Country's importing laws and taxes. The Buyer pays ALL import duties taxes and fees. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. ... show more show less

AS WITH ALL OF OUR WATCHES, AUTHENTICITY IS GUARANTEED!

THIS IS A FILE PHOTO.What does that mean?

You may be asking why we use file photos… When we have more than one of the same item… we will only take pictures of one of the items. The item will be in the same condition and be as described. This helps us keep our costs down and pass the savings onto the buyer. Additionally, we have a 30 day unconditional money back guarantee. We don’t use file photos for every item… but only when the item will be the same as pictured and described. (There may be slight variances that most buyers may not even notice.) Please keep in mind that many of our competitors use file photos as well, but will not disclose this information to you. We are committed to being fully transparent. This is why we provide a disclaimer in the product listing if file photos are being used.

Condition Grading Scale

Brand New [10]

New. Perfect condition and never worn. The watch has the original manufacture’s protective plastic (if applicable). It comes with original box and papers. It is working properly, keeping very good time.
Never Worn [9.8 to 9.9]

New. Perfect condition and never worn. The watch has the original manufacture’s protective plastic (if applicable). It may or may not come with original box or papers. It is working properly, keeping very good time.
Super Mint Condition [9.7 to 9.8]

Perfect. Looks never worn. As close to new as you can get for a preowned watch. This is the equivalent of a new watch that does not have the original manufacture’s protective plastic (if applicable). If you remove the protective plastic from a brand new watch, and have not yet worn the watch, it is now in Super Mint Condition. It may or may not come with original box or papers. It is working properly, keeping very good time.
Mint Condition [9.5 to 9.7]

Near perfect. Looks like new on the wrist. Signs of wear are only visible with a loupe. The band has no stretch or wear. The watch is working properly, keeping very good time.
Super Excellent Condition [8.5 to 9.5]

Super nice. Very light signs of wear. Watches with the original band will have minimal stretch between the links. The watch is working properly, keeping very good time.
Excellent Condition [7.0 to 8.5]

Nice. Signs of normal careful wear. Watches with the original band will have moderate stretch between the links. Some older watches with the original band may have more than moderate stretch. The watch is working properly, keeping good time, but may gain or lose up to 30 seconds over 24 hours (unless the watch has been serviced).
Fair Condition [5.0 to 7.0]

Fair. Signs of heavy wear. Watch may have a few dings, nicks, or deep scratches The band has severe stretch between the links. The watch is working, but may gain or lose a few minutes over 24 hours (unless the watch has been serviced).
Poor Condition [Less than 5]
Poor. Signs of extreme heavy wear, damage, or abuse. Major cosmetic and/or mechanical flaws that directly affect the integrity of the watch. The watch may be missing parts and/or may not run at all. We do not recommend this watch to be worn in this condition. Requires a lot of work to be made wearable.

This timepiece is most suitable for:
- A watchmaker looking for a “parts” watch so they can use the “usable” parts to service or restore their customer’s watches.
- A buyer that is looking for a challenging “fixer upper” watch. A speculative timepiece. They understand that lot of work must be done to this watch to be made wearable.
- A buyer that is looking to replace a “lost” or “family heirloom” watch that in this condition. For many people, a Rolex is so much more than just a timepiece.

Authenticity Guaranteed
How to verify Authenticity of any Rolex

Authenticity is guaranteed!

Every watch has been thoroughly examined and authenticated by our certified master-watchmaker.
All watches are checked for authenticity, mechanical, and aesthetic condition and to make sure it is not stolen.
Our watchmaker is Rolex certified... meaning he has a parts account with Rolex. He is an actual Rolex watchmaker who is authorized by Rolex to service Rolex watches. This is important because he is specially trained in Rolex watches.
We have been in business since 1998 and have NEVER sold a fake or stolen watch.
All ROLEX watches offered by BeckerTime are pre-owned.

We are an independent sales center of pre-owned Rolex watches and Other Luxury Timepieces

We are NOT an authorized dealer of any of the brands we carry.
The Rolex Watch Company Ltd., Rolex Watch USA Inc., or any of its subsidiaries have no obligation to warranty any watch sold by BeckerTime. BeckerTime is the sole warrantor of the Rolex watches being sold.
We are not affiliated with any of the fine manufacturers whose watches we sell. We are not affiliated with the Rolex Watch Company Ltd., Rolex Watch USA Inc., or any of its subsidiaries.

In order to verify the authenticity of any Rolex, you will need to view the 4 primary verification points text-justify used by watch experts and professionals

These areas are full proof for validating the authenticity of a Rolex:

The serial #
The model (reference) #
The movement #'s (serial # and caliber) & signature
The inside case back id #

On all models produced before 2007, the serial # is located between the bottom lugs (where the band connects to the case). The band will need to be removed to view the serial #

The following is an example showing where the serial # is located:

On all models produced before 2007, the model # is located between the top lugs (where the band connects to the case). The band will need to be removed to view the model #

The following is an example showing where the model # is located:

The case back id # and signature is located on the inside of the case back. The case must be opened to view the case back id # and signature

The following is an example showing where the case back id # and signature is located:

The movement #'s and signature is located on the movement. The case must be opened to view the movement #'s and signature. There are 2 movement #'s: another serial # that is unique to the movement (never the same as the serial # of the case) and the caliber

The following is an example showing where the movement #'s and signature is located (Pictured with and without the rotor {so you can see the numbers}):

It is important to note that Rolex has been around for more than 100 years. There have been many changes to Rolex watches throughout the years

Like all successful products and companies, the Rolex watch has evolved through the decades.
Almost every Rolex model has been around for many many decades. Rolex usually makes changes to each model about every 10 years (give or take a few years depending on the model). This includes changes to the band. Usually, each change is small so that it does not compromise the style and success of that model. (Example: A Rolex from the 1970's will be a little different from the same model from the 1980's and the 1980's Rolex will be a little different from the same model of the 1990's... and so on).
It is a red flag if a new Rolex is exactly the same as one from decades past. (Example: Although the styling has remained the same, a 1980's Datejust will look a little different than a new watch. This includes changes to the band. A new Datejust will even be heavier than the 1980's model. There have been many changes to the Datejust over the years, with the biggest changes happening mid 2000's).
Older Rolex watches typically weigh less than newer watches. This depends on the year of production and the model reference #.
Rolex parts and accessories have changed throughout the years. (Example: Before Rolex outfitted their watches with sapphire crystals, they used plastic crystals).

Due to Rolex's sales policies, authorized Rolex dealers are prohibited from providing verification of preowned Rolex watches with custom aftermarket additions (such as diamond accessories or a band)

We recommend you have it checked by a 3rd party independent Certified Watchmaker
If you have been told that the watch is not authentic, I can guarantee they did not show you the key areas pictured above and performed those four verification tests as they are the only "full proof" verification methods. It is important for you to personally see each of the four areas... have them show you these areas for verification.

Remember that an Authorized Rolex Dealer is just a company that sells Rolex

They are not actually Rolex. They are just authorized to sell Rolex watches.
Employees that work for an Authorized Rolex Dealer do not need to know anything about Rolex except for the current product they sell.
Rolex is just one of the many items that an Authorized Rolex Dealer sells... so it would be impossible for them to be an expert in all years of production of all models and the different changes each product of each manufacturer has gone through for the last 100 years... They just need to be an expert in what products they have in the store.
An Authorized Rolex Dealer is the direct competition of an Internet Retailer... except they can not compete with the prices Internet merchants provide.
Do not expect an Authorized Rolex Dealer to say nice things about your Internet purchase. If they did, they know there would never be a reason for you to buy a preowned Rolex from them.

Aftermarket Parts and Accessories

Aftermarket parts and/or accessories are not made by the watch manufacturer. They are made by a company independent from the watch manufacturer. (Example: If the aftermarket part and/or accessory is on a Rolex, then that part is NOT made by Rolex)
Aftermarket parts and/or accessories can not have any of the watch manufacturer's trademarks, hallmarks or logos. (Example: If the aftermarket part is on a Rolex, then that part will NOT have a Rolex crown or logo)
On some watches, we do use aftermarket parts and/or accessories. Please review the description thoroughly as we provide full disclosure of what is aftermarket.
