Verification @ RSC and other alternatives

[nine_eleven]

it's not a cert lah... just a receipt that you paid $75 for service rendered.

RSC would be hard pressed to issue a cert, coz unscrupulous people will certify it at RSC, then swap internals on the same day and put it up for sale.

[Darkangel]

did they provide a certificate after that?

Yes

I have paid $75 for authentication.
It is on the spot, you are able to see through the glass where the ppl who checking on your watch. Probably take ard 5 to 10 minutes..
pretty fast.

What about this one.. You buy from someone, maybe a local guy, sure you wanna get the Rolex authenticated rite..? Go to RSC and tell them you wanna service the watch.. Gal brings watch in and handover to the technicians.. 20mins later gal calls out your name to the counter...
If she gives you a quotation estimation for servicing the watch then your watch is 100% authentic rite..? You say "Hmmm.. I'll think about it.." and walks out knowing it's genuine.. Save $75.. Just a thought though...

this method will work... free!

haha... I hear Top Hour's Mr Lim used to be a rolex tech at RSC.
Anyway, he had ONE link. And he wanted $220 for a used link.

So I concentrated on buying an OQ with enough links... and I eventually found one.

In his shop he has a very chio Oysterquartz. The very first solid gold one... still working, with boxes. He says not selling, but did say the last one he sold went for $18,000. These days, I think they're US$30,000 ... because only 1000pcs were ever made... and not all work anymore.

Anyone got Top Hour's telephone number?

I was the guy who bought the other one at S$ 18k....err...the actual figure is lower. I resold it in less than hour for S$5k profit to a dealer in Switzerland

That's the thing... the link is half steel, half gold.

I hear RSC sells the regular solid gold presidential links for $300@ ... this makes the OQ tutone links very expensive.
