Verification @ RSC and other alternatives

[shuseido]

Many things can change after last verification.

To me, I will do another round of verification.

dear rolexperts,

if a seller provides a verification slip from RSC for his watch, should I, as a prospective buyer do another verification? To me at least , a verification slip dated some time back is as good as providing a warranty card- does not mean anything at all.

you have answered your own question

[rabid]

verification done already?

here in oz, authenticity is done foc. of course; do not expect a papertrail. its done out of goodwill of the watchmaker. i had to get a watch authenticated before for a customer of mine; and the watch maker took off the bracelet; open the case back; inspect movement, crystal; hands; dial; etc. took about 20mins.

If you buy from a reliable source why pay to have a Rolex verified most any watchmaker could get the back off.And its not rocket science to tell a genuine Rolex movement or case dial etc,there is no way I would pay to check for authenticity.

[seiko.citizen]

they check the watch for authenticity. thats all!

no more/no less!

Once they have finished checking; they return you the watch; tell you yay or nay, along with a list of "recommended" service items, and collect the money from you.

AFAIK rsc will not polish your watch, even if you offer to pay for the service.

Can anyone share what is the scope of work when you pay $107 for RSC to verify. Do they open up and check the components do they list the serial numbers of the watch so that you check it off the cert? What happen if the parts inside a new casing are real but change from a older watch? Thanks.

Hello,

Yesterday afternoon went down to rolex centre to verify a black sub...and found out that the charges had went up....now new charges for verification at rolex centre : $107

In the end....went to JW instead.

Hi I'm new here and may I ask if JW provides the same authentic verification as RSC does? If that's the case, why would one go to RSC when the fee is almost doubled?
I do hope this is not a noob question.. Thanks!

Use the search function. Use his nick to start your search. He has recently posted some advice on this. IIRC it was about a friend who needed to buy a bracelet link from RSC.

Happy reading

Worst of all, they tell you to come back next day to collect the watch!

Use my "Free authentication" method I discussed previously

RSC ask to collect next day when verifying ?

Can share on yr "free authentication" :-)
