How Genuine Is Your Rolex?

[minusplus]

If i rem correctly, there was one rolex with tudor movement and another tudor has rolex dail. But the seller were honest enough to declare it.

So RSC confiscate them if u send them in to auth.?

BTW, how similar is the rolex sub and the tudor sub?

Different movement, Rolex Sub runs 3135 movement while Tudor is driven by Swiss ETA 2824. Water resistant also diff if I'm not wrong

But the most significant difference is one is a ROLEX while one is a TUDOR.

Oh..you meant those that has the Rolex and Tudor word on the dial right? I heard of it also,at first I thought it was fake,but they said it was Tudor with a aftermarket dial

like to know what u mean by aftermarket? is it still recognised by RSC?

Aftermarket means,it does not come with the watch originally when you buy it. That means like those diamond dials/bezels,you can go buy from goldsmith or some watch shops,that's aftermarket. If it does not come with the watch originally,or purchased from RSC,RSC will remove and make you buy a new dial.

Buying from ADs are not a worry. I saw websites selling "genuine" rolex with Tudor movement! They are not Folexes but "mixed blood" Rolexes!

Thank TS for bringing out this topic out for discussion. It will benefit noob like myself who are only starting (now then can afford) the luxury of appreciating time pieces.

Since there are also concerns that fakes actually going into the finer details to replicate a Rolex, then brothers... do you know if its safe to buy a Rolex from Bangkok? Any good reliable shop to recommend?

Getting from Bangkok is not a problem,go to big shopping centres can ald. There is a Hour Glass Boutique at Gaysorn. Can go check it out

Check out the FAQ section if you want to know more about the fakes.

If thats the case, I don't think they strip and examine all parts and components lor. How to fully strip and assemble in 15 mins? If can, a good mechanical watch would be worth so high value liow. hehe

they check the parts that are necessary such as bracelet, case, bezel, crown, dial, movements,....... tiny screws are probably generic.

well..verifications are done on the spot depending on the queue.... usually about 15 - 30 mins will do.....
