Middle Eastern men, Indian sub continent and today on the TV a Russian person being interviwed was wearing his Rolex very loose on the wrist.

Seeing as these people can afford high end watches,...

Hmmm........

Do they want buyers to get caught out?

To set the record straight. If you are coming to the EU from a non EU destination in Europe.....ie Switzerland, channel Islands, Norway,...

If you are bringing a expensive watch into the UK from a duty free shop in a Non EU location then chances are that UK customs will be notified of the purchase. Yes it happens regularly...

If your...

I dont like the ticking sound at night. So have been looking for a wall clock without the seconds ticking hand. Cant find one.

They do sell the supposedly silent sweep battery operated ones but it...

Ah for a Rolex with an large sapphire rim to rim exhibition back with a decorated movement and a coloured oscillating weight that is in kermit green or hulk or the pepsi type colours.

Unless...

So what in your opinion causes a watch to lose its water resistance

length of time between services? Type of use/stresses and strains during use? Or just bad luck?

Or none of the above.

Young Dylan from Bijou Diamond jewelry.

Heis the best.

Guess he must be on this forum.

You were wearing a full sleeved jumper at 42 degrees?

Hope you got mega bucks for that plate.

When they remove the back yes they will see their movement.

But if after market bits have been added on or the watch is frankenised it will take time even for the Rolex service centre to find out....

So you send a purchased watch to Rolex for servicing? But how does it help? If the watch is fake then surely the seller has long gone and you wont get your money back. Or am i missing something.

Would these online shops sell you franken watches? Would they check the watch to see if parts have been changed. I doubt they would.

Yes this is the reason. Liverpool is a trek from SW and although Miltons shop front looks like they have lots of watches in store, the Rolexes on their website are just a handful. So if i do find one...

I am set on buying a preowned datejust 2 bimetal. There are many good examples on ebay at decent prices but am wary of franken watches even from sellers who have good feedback and named stores.

Mallorys in Bath always have Rolex models including subs on display. But they have a waiting list too. Cant they sell their display watches?

You are so lucky.

Did they ever make this watch in a lighter sky blue?

Thanks for the above. I was veering towards thinking the same as the poster who casted doubts on your motives.....however your retort above has changed my mind.

I will buy my first Rolex from you....

From the pictures does it look like the watch could be genuine and the bidders are hoping the seller really is a numpty and they will land a bargain.

But the pictures could be of a genuine watch...

Went to Gassan schipol on my way back from on 1 st Jan.

Display cases practically bare. The chappie was chatty. Said a sea dweller current price was 9.3 k euros.

It does look lovely.

The description seems odd. English probably not first language.

If they value their brand and its pre owned market they could do a lot more to protect it.

They clearly dont.

Even if he did not use photshop he used very clever lighting to hide the damage very well indeed. It was sly and with the kind of scuff seen in your photo it willbe a legitimate claim imho.

Schipol yes.....geneva no. You will have to pay VAT if purchased in Switzerland which is not in the EU.

Lots of people forget this.

Seagull 1963. Abeautiful watch.
