First Rolex

[JohnBoyWalton]

Hi, I am looking for a bit of advice.

I bought my first Rolex today (16233 two tone with Champagne dial)

I decided to go with a household jeweller in the Uk to give me a bit more peace of mind. I probably paid over the odds, but I wanted a mint watch.

Hopefully somebody can help me with a few questions.

Q – It came with original papers and box. I noticed that the booklet has 1996 date on the back, but the papers show 1990?
Q – On the papers it shows Singapore, does this just mean that it was sold there?
Q – The jeweller has told me the watch has been checked to authenticate it, is there anything I can do in addition to this just to be on the safe side? It comes with a water proof test and a receipt from the watch register.

Thanks
John
