I wouldn't buy one on the Bay. for an heirloom Rolex go through an AD. JMHO! You'll appreciate the service and have more recourse should anything go astray.:D

They send the watch off to Rolex when it needs work...most Rolex AD's could not tell you if a "Rolex" is authentic they simply sell stuff. Now, if you are asking if you buy it from an AD will he guarantee it is real...I cannot imagine that he wouldn't...although I do know of one MAJOR AD in FL that sold preowned Rolex as new!!!

Simple solution is if the seller can't show you it is the real deal don't buy. Why buy and then have it checked some place else?

You can take it in, but unless they have an experienced wacthmaker there, the answer is probably...no. Those that work at AD's are mostly just sale's people, not watch experts.

My local AD does have a Rolex certified watchmake on the premises, but i wouldn't count on it. I really think the $ you might be saving are not worth the risk... and frankly, buying a Rolex should be an experience unlike eBay imho!. What would your recourse be if you did have it authenticated and it came up fake? One thing was made very clear to me when I made my purchase... if you need anything... and they do mean anything... please come and see us.

Thanks for all the advice. So the seller ended up being a jeweler in Colorado he has provided references. The watch has all papers, boxes, etc. Even all of the information on the person who first bought the watch.

I would say do not buy a $5k watch off of the ebay. Just to much RISK!!

Ok, so I have done about as much due dilligence as possible, can't think of what else I could possibly do regardless of who I am buying from. I had the jewlery store email me an invoice with a 7 day return policy, checked the BBB which they have a A rating, they have been in business 9 years. Watch has all the goodies, warranty card, manuals, etc... What else could possibly be done? Sorry I might be beating a dead horse here but are there fakes with serials and all documentation?
