The main reason I am uncomfortable is the second hand, the zigzag shape isn't as sharp as I see from Rolex website shape.
Am I being paranoid? thanks

Where'd you buy it from? Any paperwork stating its authenticity? Looks legit to me but what do I know (shrugs shoulders)

[Billfish]

Thats the new lightning bolt second hand! LOL

[Aircraftman]

Take it to your local AD service center. They will tell you for sure

It has box and warranty card and manual.
I bought it from a reputable dealer oversea.
the warranty card serial number mathces the tag's number and on the watch.
but I know all these can be faked. (I just saw a rep rolex in a sub reddit with all these faked well, damn)

You should be able to call Rolex USA and run the serial number through them. I did this with a Tudor before when I had an issue with the AD I sent it in through. Not saying they'll be as compliant but might be worth a shot

I bought it from this dealder ippuukishi in osaka.

Typically Japanese businesses pride themselves on selling genuine articles because reputation is at stake. I always buy JDM reels and car parts from Japanese businesses online with no issue. Take it to a watchmaker if you have doubts

1. Looks real
2. That’s not a watch that’s commonly faked
3. If brought online always pay with credit card (Amax) they have a no questions asked policy they will refund your money back

This is probably post-purchase jitters. We all get them if we buy from greys.

True

[cheekybird]

It looks legit to me. Love it.

[Sherbie]

Ippuukishi are absolutely legit - they handle hundreds of Rolex watches every day

They would spot a fake, believe me

Find another unit in-hand to compare with, if you're so worried.

Nothing glaringly suss far as I can tell from your pic.

Don't go looking for the lasered microscopic crown on the green crystal though, if you don't find one then you'll be really more worried

I suspect not hence my advice Not to go looking

yeah we went looking once. Yeah we no find. Yeah we got worried(ish).
But lucky that unit came from known AD so we didn't lose any sleep.

[Anton911]

That Milgauss is genuine.it should definitely not have a etched laser crown on the crystal!

[WatchLurv]

It's 100% real.

I've been to their store in Nakano.

Also pictures on Rolex's website are perfectly retouched.

I don't know about the older models, but the newer Z-Blue, and the Black dial ones, definitely do not have any LEC in the GV green sapphire crystal.

Looks great - congratulations

[Rolly.BT]

Looks legit. Congrats

[Berba9]

thank you all, guys! :D
