Rolex green service pouches, fake?
Hi guys,
Bought a couple of these green pouches and now think its not genuine. Could I trouble someone to check the branding of the buttons that are on the inside of the pouch? Mine says "Sheng Tong" - just seems unusual for a Swiss made watch to have Chinese made pouches haha thanks in advance. A |

That's fine, I have pouches direct from RSC with the same Chinese name. I'm not sure those press-studs are made anywhere else these days.

I believe there are several versions of the green pouches, one of mine says Hato Habi on the button. It´s definitely a genuine one as I get them from my AD directly.

Rolex booklets that come with the watch are printed in Switzerland. The ones that I have are at least.

I have never looked at the button closely. I will have to do that when I get home!

RSC in Beverly Hills just gave me one today and it doesn't have that "Sheng Tong" on the snap button. Guess it's the newer version.
