Seeking Opinion : Buying from Watch Arena

[natasha]

What is the different between local and export set? Are you referring to pre-owned or brand new here? Thanks.

Got one of the watch from there, good service, even better pricing and also local set somemore. The watch I bought came in original rolex factory packing.

same here...the factory packing is those sort of transparent plastic casing right?

did u bring the watch to RSC for verification?

so anyone buy watches from WA before and have brought it to RSC for authentication, and realised it is a non-genuine piece?

true true... make sure you ask the seller if ALL the parts are original....

Just becareful of "Franker" Rolex which it will appear in pre-owned shop, such watches are always fitted with "after-market" parts, such as diamond bezels...
RSC will not service the Rolex if they are not original.

I have no such experience before... I have seen them opening Rolex cases and check it themselves... so I think they are "pro" enough to make sure all their rolex are real...

Today RSC quoted me $460 to overhaul my 16700... still thinking whether to do it or not...

I sent my GMT 2, W series for a $440 overhaul Last year.... It was beautifully done up LNIB and cover with 1 year warranty. Bro, You will not regret.

Beautiful thing about Rolex watches is.... Send it to RSC for a overhaul and the watch will be BNIB... But pocket also a hole

So, to me, stickers still intact is considered BNIB.... no stickers mint condition is still LNIB.... whether previous owner wear it with stickers intact for 1 month, I don't mind... just mental barrier...

Oh, I see, plus bezel cover too... green price tag, red seal tag... Got what you mean

[tomcatf]

Bro, I meant protective stickers (those transparent ones), not the green sticker....

Bro, now New Rolex no more green sticker... Cost saving.

Baseline is you got to trust them, there are a few PD in our forum bringing watches from overseas.
