Verification @ RSC and other alternatives

New Rolex need verification?

Hi all,

Thank you very much for your comment and enlightement. I appreciate your help and time...

[rotan]

Yup definitely agree with the rest here.... If you are buying from grey market or pre own, suggest that you bring to RSC for verification though...

[triton]

Yes you should. provided you got doubts that the watch is not BNIB piece or the watch has been modified especially ladies models which have different combination. do note that yellow gold bezel is not allowed on SS models. there was a member who posted here before about this and RSC say it is not original though the parts used are geniune rolex parts.

Hi I need your suggestions or comments..

After surfing the internet about fake Rolexes, I would like to know if I need to bring my newly purchase Rolex from Singapore's AD to the RSC for verification?


Thank you for your comments..

1. If gurantee card No. starts with 043.. then the watch is SINGAPORE piece

2. The s/n on the card must match the watch s/n engraved in chapter ring

3. AD name and business address imprinted on the card (NOT stamped type)

Then very safe already

What I do is bring it to RSC and ask them to adjust time to +2 seconds. If they do 4 u then the watch is genueine. Is FOC (not sure will be so after gurantee over - any BROS here adjust time after period over?)

Still to be sure U can send to RSC for verification @ $75 (for SS or TT series) and $100 if full gold. The U can have peace of mind.

BTW $75/100 is a mere fraction of the watch for peace. U decide

Your first line "... No. starts with 043 ...". Did you get the number order correctly, Sir?

[BAR_Honda]

Singapore/Brunei should be 430

[DM101]

Heheh 430

For point 1 and 2, it is easy enough. However for point 3, it is a little bit hard to imagine..are you able to post a picture of how it should looks like?

Thanks 169171 for your check list...

Rolex verification Question

Hi,

Would like to ask an important question about RSC verification on behalf of a friend.

My friend just bought a used rolex watch from a renown pawnshop. But there are some scratches on the crystal. He send it into RSC to change the crystal but he didnt request for verification. The watch was returned by RSC with a new crystal.

Do you think the watch, bracelet and movement is authentic? or RSC just bochup cuz since ask for change crystal thus they just change even if the movement or bracelet is bogus....

The old scratched crystal has date magnification different from his other rolex of the same model (crazy guy to buy same model of different bracelet) but i couldnt tell since i am no expert either....of cuz, RSC never return the scratched crystal like usually.

Should he still send the watch for verification to have a piece of mind? but if RSC entered the serial and watchbracelet model without complaining that it is fake...should be genuine right?

[Darkangel]

No not possible that the watch is bogus in this case.

It's already indirect verification for your friend. And even more accurate then paying $75 for verification because they do not open up the whole watch normally. But when you change crystal they hav to open up the whole watch

Agreed, if fake, dont think RSC will change the crystal.

[Oceanklassik]

RSC only services/repairs authentic ROLEX watches. There should only be an issue if they reject it totally.

[zidaneong]

if fake, then RSC will not do the watch servicing for your friend.
