I don't think you're beating a dead horse, you're just not listening to those around you. Which, is fine, of course, we all should make our own decisions. I think you could take the watch to an AD, and they could contact Rolex to verify the serial number, etc. They might not be able to visually verify it's real, but if the serial number comes back good, and matches the originating dealers address (which would be in the paperwork you get) then that's a good sign. You could call and ask the Rolex dealer if they have a certified Watchmaker on the premesis that could open up the watch and verify it's authenticity (looking at the movement, etc). You might need to pay them to take the time to do this. Since you're getting it off the 'bay, how much versus MSRP are you saving?

Thank you for everyones input...what a great resource!! yourock.gif I did make the decision to go with the deal...so here are the details of the transaction for those that give a rip, it was actually a fun process...Rolex 16610LV D serial. Watch is being sold by a jewelry store in CO. Comes with inner/outer box, all papers, hang tags, etc... Price was $4,850 shipped with a 7 day return policy. The jewlery store sent me an invoice stating the details. The seller told me the date of sale and AD on the warranty papers. So the last thing I did (which finally made me comfortable) was played a little detective by calling 2 of the 4 stores in CO and asked if a watch was sold on X date in 2005. The second gal I spoke to was kind enough to look up records and tell me that a watch was sold to John Doe for $4,875. The same John Doe that the seller gave me. I also know that a D serial LV was $4,875 in 2005. Lastly, I have an appointment with a certified Rolex technican at an AD on Friday (the day after the watch arrives) to crack her open and confirm that everything is as it appears to be... Oh yeah...and the seller has a rating of over 1,200 with a 99% on ebay... Thanks again for the input!! Last edited on Tue Aug 19th, 2008 12:20 am by kdeyoung11 |
