Verification @ RSC and other alternatives

[triton]

under all circumstances, i will still bring to RSC irregardless who the seller is. this is because i rather have a peace of mind. no disrespect to any sellers.

$75 for Peace of mind and assurance is cheap.

this is exactly what i will do. $75 for couple of thousand $ purchase is worth spending.

Just a thought...

If we buy brand new direct from AD, is there a need to send to RSC for verification? Are there ADs with not so high integrity who may switch parts or worst, sell a non so original rolex? Hypothetically, if it does happen how to resolve? AD can claim that the watch was tweaked by customer after sale.

buying new from ad no need to check. it is only those who are buying grey and preowned that feel the need to verify.

Any place recommend to have it check other than rsc? how much roughly cost?

[seiko.citizen]

jw watch also does verification.

i brought my GMT to JW to chk.Think it cost $35.He was really careful and did protection on the lugs to prevent scratches when removing / putting bk the bracelet.

i thought of going to jw, they close early on saturday at 3pm. feel like going to rsc but weekdays close at 7pm. the place i bought is preown but registed company, gmt watches and jewellery. i am not trying to advertise for this company. don't know there a need or not. just asking around. asked them when last serviced also don't know.

I would say...

There's no need for verification...just waste of money. Unless you really dun trust the seller..then you bring down to RSC for verification.

Well in the first place,you trust the seller that's why you buy what. THat's why I feel

[damienloh]

well said darkangel. i bought it because love at first sight at the watch

Hi would like to seek opinion whether if getting a BNIB local AD complete set watch from an owner, is it necessary to go RSC for verification?(let say he have receipt to proved)thanks

Hi one method to save money is bring the watch to RSC, complaint to the service reception staff that the watch is moving too fast, many be 2 mins a day, of course you must make sure to set your watch faster, such as 5 mins. when they took the watch in for the technician, because in order to tune the watch they need to open up the case.. if it is not genuine they will tell in straight away.

[triton]

i buy the watch, because i like the watch not because i trust the seller because the seller is the only person who has the watch i want for sale @ the moment in time.

in all circumstances, there is always a chance that something will go wrong. if you willing to take the risk, then skip the authentication process.

i just need a ex rolex technician to check whether it's the original movement inside. and maybe to double check the case back gasket for water proofing. sunday any shop open?
