If u can get it cheap without the papers go 4 it, but make sure it is real....main thing....cant emphasise it enough

Check the second hand....it should glide and not stop start..LOL.

RigPig

with no paper work the value is MUCH less

brad

pmsl . unfortunatly so many people say that but it isnt true .
the older platinum series divers style watches had , tick tock second hand and solid bezel .
there should be a rolex site , somewhere that you can guage a price off .

Get the serial number of the watch and ring a local Rolex Dealer to check its not stolen, or has been purchased with a stolen credit card.


Whatever you do dont take it in p/ex without finding this out first otherwise the first time you take it in to have it serviced it will be confiscated.

Ginge !

theres some real good fakes about that use seiko movement anyway so the if it tick tocks its fake aint true anymore

few things to look for are the rolex crown on the winder and the quality of the magnifier on the date if i remember correctly

when iw as a buyer for cash converters i seen sooooooooooo many fakes that when there was a genuine one i thought it was fake ( serious too

oh and they are fooking heavy watches too

You say that, but I'm use to wearing a TAG watch, don't feel it anymore LOL

Ginge !

rollex are even heavier that tags mate, trust me

i got a omega seamaster at me mums house that i used to use for work, i caught the glass on a coner of a desk and the fooking glass exploded


150 quid to get replaced was the cheepest i found

still not fixed

apples24

wanna sell it? i like the seamaster

The Sludge

i just bought a brilliant rolex yachtmaster copy in Ibiza for £75. All stamped on back, proper crown on top of clasp with all guages working, had seiko movements.
absolutely mega and sweeps not ticks

The Gravedigger

That's like one up from paedophile...

Ginge !

thats nothing i bought one of them for 400 quid and sold it for 500 when i found was a fake

Ginge !

thats not true as when i left there i became a traffic warden, thats one up from a paedophile

Good fakes are exact copies, from sweeping second hand to numbers, stamps. You need to get it checked

If you're daring you could try and scratch the lens, as it should be crystal instead of glass obviously.

As said above, there are some VERY good fakes about..!!
I was in Thailand last week and bought 3 watches from a bloke - two Tag Tiger Woods and a Rolex for £17 each
My mate who was with me likes to collect expensive watches he said there was NO difference between his and the fakes....and he should know, he has the same models as the ones I bought but real ones
Same weight and markings everywhere....

okay once upon a time I had looooooads of money.I had a datejust perpetual motion 72 diamond 18kts rolex price 14k still have a rolex today, thanks mike!! if it is a fake then it will not have swiss made at the bottom of the watch apparently impossible to fake!!!! if that is not there then it is a fake. If you are buying second hand go to a pawn broker much cheaper, and it should always have its documents. if it doesnt then there is a real possibibly that it is fake!

apples24

the fakes are good but open the lid and all is revealed, i would check the serial number with rolex also


as it happens i think he wants too much for the watch as i offered him 3k for it in px, think he wants 4 im not taking that on at that price

andyescos

get him to sell the watch and buy your car!

Be very very wary, my mate sells replica Rolex watches, they are identical and all come with paperwork etc..... but they're only worth a few hundred quid........... she sells them at a few thousand ££££ each!!!!!!!!

Personally without paperwork i'd tell the bloke to run and jump, and even with paperwork, I dont think I would agree as it is very hard for jewellers to even spot the fakes from the real ones.
