  • when doing verification, would the technician also advise for a service, or let you know if there is any parts that need changing, etc if they notice anything wrong with the watch?

      • Recent experience for all to be aware:

        1. verification now takes a long time, and the staff at the counter said that gone are the days when you collect on the day itself.

        2. asking for quotation with a view to verify does not work anyhow. it takes a day or two for them to run through the watch to provide a quote. you can choose not to service with RSC but you will still be charged S$107.

        cheers.

              For a start you may want to approach some of the forum advertisers first. I'm not sure which ones provide authentication service. Have heard some others that do like Top Hour @Lucky Plaza and JWWatch @International Plaza.

                For those who have the SS models and want to authenticate it,I have the trick for you. Instead of getting it just checked,pay $75 for an extra link. When those pros see the watch they can tell one,if it's not real they will tell you watch might not be real and ask you to pay $75 for it then you tell them NO. By then you know your watch is alittle cranky already.You can also get an extra link right?

                If not,you pretend you want to resize your bracelet then ask them to do it. Once they touch and feel the watch they know already...hehehe free authentication.

                What do you think?

                But it is worth it only for SS models,TT models the links are about $100 plus so not that worth it
                Is it expensive?

                    Yes, it is CORRECT that the ROLEX Service Centre (RSC) in Singapore had stopped to provide watch authentication service. Whether they opened up the case back to check the watch movement I am not sure. You will have to check with the various watch companies. Whether it is safe to buy from those companies you mentioned, is subjective. I do not see any problem as long you do due diligence.

                    Price wise, it is rather obvious the price differences - with and without paper/box, etc. You buy lower without paper, you will sell lower too.

                    Well, good luck
