Hello all,

My first post in the forum (but read allot before i buy)! Yestarday i bought my first Rolex submariner no date from a reputable watch shop in Regent Street London.
I picked up the watch from the store and when was presented to me it had all the stickers (at the side and a red sticker at the bracelet). Box contains all relevant documentation, codes etc.

The only thing i dont have and to be honest i dont remember seeing (to excited at that moment?) was the holographic sticker at the back of the watch!

Not sure what to think about that, so i would appreciate any advice!

Thank you

padi56 · 30 January 2009, 08:21 PM

The holographic sticker have now been phased out, just a clear sticker on new watches and the hologram in reality was just a bit of useless paper.Welcome to TRF fine choice of watch a Rolex classic

toph · 30 January 2009, 08:25 PM

yeah as Padi said- rolex stopped using the green holograms sometime 18 months to 2 years ago

mlondon · 30 January 2009, 08:26 PM

oh Great! Thank you for the replies! I was a bit worried to be honnest !

Great watch! I love it!

PS i will post a photo latter on today! :)

Welcome and congrats on a classic piece.

The great thing about buying from that shop is that if the product was somehow found to be misrepresented, i.e. not genuine, the shop would take great pains to accommodate you. Their embarrassment would probably overshadow your discomfort.

Great watch, great choice! [I'm still deciding, myself].

Perfect choice. Perfect watch. Bought from AD (Regent Street - Mappin and Webb ?) - no worries.

Congratulations

Welcome to the club 'M'.

Sounds like a 'Bond' Rolex.

Enjoy wearing it.

don't stress, enjoy your new watch!

seiko · 30 January 2009, 11:41 PM

Hi, I hope this isn't rude but could you please let me know how much you paid in the UK for it? I have literally 24 hours to give my final answer and want to know if the discount I'm being offered is actually anygood?

zak98 · 30 January 2009, 11:45 PM

welcome! great choice. both on watch and forum.

mlondon · 30 January 2009, 11:48 PM

Hi all,

I bought from Mappin and Webb (Regent St london). Great service ! I made them adjust the bracelet 9 times until i decided which felt better! :)

The price that all AD sell is £3100 - £3140!
I was told that the prices are going up very very soon (they dont know by how much but usually the manager said they go up by 12%-15%)

Rolexitis · 30 January 2009, 11:51 PM

Congrats and welcome to TRF!

redshirt1957 · 30 January 2009, 11:55 PM

hflee55 · 31 January 2009, 12:38 AM

Congrats & welcome to TRF. The sticker has been phased out so no worries. Enjoy your classic sub.

Awesome watch and great choice ... welcome to the club

mlondon · 1 February 2009, 10:54 PM

Here are some photos of the detail inside the watch.
At the 6 side you can also see the unique ID of the watch, so i guess its easier now to identify / verify an original! :)
