Advisory : Authentication Rolex Watches

wow so expensive to authenticate the watch

What to do, it's the brand that count. Similarly, servicing a Audi also has different pricing compare to a normal Japanese car right ...

I would suggest RSC although its more expensive, it comes with a service receipt that proves the authentic of your rolex

I agreed....

Still free?

To get free authentication, just tell rsc that u find the watch too slow or too fast and send in the regulate. That will save u 107.
For normal authentication, if i am not wrong, rsc just (1) take out the bracelet to check the model and serial num on the case and (2) open case back to check movement number. i doubt they take out the whole movement, crown, etc...

You willing to let them open up a case ? or you doing it yourself ??

Remember when you verify you are not doing a watch but the combined sum.... Case, Bracelet & clasp, Movement, Dial and Hands and Bezel even.

Actually, I mentioned Rolex pre own shop verification bcos there're some tread cited that verification at those shop are more cheaper than RSC etc...
Personally, I'll only trust RSC if happen that one fine day there's a need for me to verify my ROLEX as I cited in my previous tread that nobody will be doubtful if the ROLEX watch is verified by RSC :-).

Almak, go around and talk to some owner of the pre own shop. Who know they might teach u some technique to spot for a fake ROLEX. As such, u can save on the verification fee liao...:-P

how abt try JW ? think around 100.

i read that the only plus to do at RSC is to verify it is not a stolen watch.

Best to still do verification in RSC. TH in lucky plaza will only verify if the movement, case, dial and bracelet are authentic. I don't think they verify whether parts match each other.

I agreed. Put it tis way, the main PURPOSE of verification is to ensure that the said ROLEX is a Genuine one. Who on earth will be doubtful if the verification is Done by 'RSC'? I don't think anyone will bcos they are the ROLEX MANUFACTURER service center and will not "Spoilt" their own reputation.
I believe majority of the Rolex pre own shop also know what to spot for a fake Rolex. If u happen to know one of them, u don't even need to spend a single
Cent if u "choose" to opt for $30 verification fee initially.... Just my 2 cents worth.

I am curious about what was written in description on the Authentication receipt , in particular to 16610LV, will they mention and distinguish the model between 16610LV and 16610 ?
Will they also verify the bracelet , clasp code against the serial no. to show they are of the correct production year?

[skydweller_sg]

i think its worth the wait
provided they dont scratch your watch

But from what i've heard it takes about half day, its like too long man so do u think going to top hour is ok?
