Verification /Authentication at Rolex Service Centre

[zidaneong]

Just wondering if you bring your rolex watch with diamonds on bezel / dial on it for verification, would RSC check the diamonds as well ?

If the diamond dial or bezel is not from rolex, you must remove and replace with original rolex parts before sending in for verification.

A truly eye opener thread, so the bottom line that i've learnt here is that...
If you can't trust your watch tech, who can you trust?

Hi, I'm new here. Very interesting thread.

I send my dad's watch to RSC for servicing, even the receptionist know the bracelets is not genunie and inform me politely, then remove it before passing the watch to the technician. When I collect my watch, I brought the original strap along and the techician took it in to polish the buckle.

I am an engineer for a home appliance MNC. Even though I'm not in servicing, I can tell immediately when I saw an imitation product. A simple check on the components used will confirm the authenicity. So I trust the professionals in RSC will be able to do a good job.

my 2 cents:-

Estimator - the watchmaker that verify your rolli,
have a minimum of 15yrs of experience in watch repair. With a average of 3 watches per day x 15yrs !! MINIMUM !! not that easily fool . . .

To each his own...but if u ask me personally? I say...2-3 years in the line and you are good to go.

The method is not a secret actually. The secret lies in the quality of the watch,professionals hold it take a look they can tell because Rolex products have a very strict QC,the quality is there 1.

I cannot describe it but...it takes the experience and the sixth sense after interacting with so many Rolexes.

Fakes...as of today or even in the future CANNOT mimick the exact same thing...it can fool some inexperienced people but not the experienced 1s.

Why can't they mimick the exact same thing even in the future? That's because their QC just sux...they will never bother to check the watch strictly or stuff..because what they want to sell it CHEAP CHEAP watches..so costs have to cut to the cheapest.

[DM101]

If sent to rsc for replacement of part, if the bracelet is not for you this model will they point it out after the initial check?

questions.

minor scratches are inevitable. what form of stickers? the clear plastic? no, they dont remove them.

[fedagent28]

If send overseas BNIB set to RSC for verification, will the watch get scratched? I understand they have to remove the bracelet to check serial number and also open caseback.

Will they also remove all the stickers?

Thanks to all those who reply.
