Jeweler doesn't know about Rolex? Question...

[hnt1987]

I walked into a jewelry store (Authorized Rolex's Dealer) and wanted my Rolex's bracelet to be readjusted. The store is relatively nice selling all the new Rolex models.

He looked at my vintage Rolex's USA C&I 77 bracelet (The rare one without all the fancy Rolex's stamp, and only used for USA = only C&I marking, Rolex USA, and the Rolex symbol); if u know about Rolex's bracelet, u know what I'm talking about.

The jeweler said that the bracelet was a fake because of the lack of Rolex's stamping behind the clasp; he probably did not do much study. I did not want to argue, just gave him a smile. In the end, he adjusted my bracelet and probably thinking "There goes another cheap Rolex (b/c of the bracelet; btw, i like to take ur money"

Anyway, my question is: Is a jewelry store a reputable place for an old-old Rolex to visit?
