True ,so if those preown shop or reputable shops selling brand new pieces or preown pieces do you guys still do authentation ?I believe they wouldn't be selling fake watches right?referring to shops like bright time, maybe timestory ,they seem to have alot of brand new rolexes

Not fake as in fake per se but frankenwatches
Some have extra diamonds or maybe dials cannibalized from another model. Rolex Center also doesn’t recognised such watches

Need to do authentication, maybe you are new in the watch game.. haven't experience movement swap (only Rolex can tell you the movement serial matches with the watch case serial), recon-dial / aftermarket dial , mis-match watch bracelet (watch head 2002, bracelet 1998 :s22:) .

Oppx, I dont want to exposed too much, later all the grey seller shop ban me. :o

Well, they take in watch without checking. So what make u so sure the watch is not operated before?

Don't know about the part whether they take in without checking but I believe reputable shops will do their due diligence to check,whether they open up caseback anot I'm not sure .don't deny that watch can be tempered with that is why my question on whether there's a need to check for bnib pieces from reputable shops .

Bnib w a warranty easiest la. Just go RSC complain something trivial and they will check for u, no cost anyway. If all’s good, also mean yr watch legit or the fake is so high quality even RSC cannot detect :)

Grey dealers don't always open up and check. Sometimes they just take in as it is. First hand experience.

Agree.. last week I went RSC (walk in) Waited around 45mins.. alot of newbie go there waste time ask silly questions trying to authenticate for free.

Hi all, new to Rolex so not too sure about authentication etc. Understand there's counterfeits out there, so just thinking as i'm interested to make a purchase. I would prefer getting them from Authorized Dealers. I saw several ADs from rolex sites such as kee hing hung and watch palace. Just wondering if there's a need to authenticate if you buy from them? Understand they are official dealers, but as lucky plaza/people's park is not really affluent places. Sorry for asking a silly question :(

Went to a few ADs in 'atas' area as well, but felt the attitude wasn't too friendly.

Hmmm, no harm trying to asking them to open case back and let you see ba, just try your luck say you want to look at the movement lor.

If OP is a noob, opening case back is quite meaningless.. and i rather caseback stays intact, afterall is bnib from AD, would not suggest that... at all..

OP end of day if u no faith in smaller AD then pls do get from the ADs u trust instead....

If u are so suspicious of buying fake from AD... Then please keep your money and stay at home. It's a dangerous world out there. Else u go to rolex at Geneva...go Straight to the factory and buy from it there... Straight from factory. Just wait outside the factory. It's the freshest. Red Hot out of the piping oven.

To be fair, OP qualified his/her question mentioning pardon if a stupid Q..
