Hey guys! Need your expertise here. Got my sub from my dad last year as a bday gift. Ref#5513 serial #4M. I always thought this sub is fake. Brought it to our local AD and have it sent to rolex service center. Anxously waiting, 2weeks after our AD called that the watch is ready for pick up. Got my watch back on a rolex watch bag. Does that mean my sub is authentic???

It sounds legit. RSC will not work on fake Rolex watches! PERIOD!

bigwatchman · 19 January 2012, 07:49 AM

If you got it back in a Rolex service pouch, its real.

jfisher17 · 19 January 2012, 07:51 AM

RSC won't service anything other than REAL rolexes. Post some pics, I'm sure the guys on here will be able to let you know for sure.

brownbear · 19 January 2012, 07:54 AM

you watch came back in/on a bag?

93 Turbo · 19 January 2012, 07:54 AM

Mate, RSC would have contacted you in the first instance if your watch were anything but the real deal.

Now we need a few pics. Cheers

Mickey® · 19 January 2012, 07:55 AM

Pictures!!!

lortap · 19 January 2012, 07:55 AM

If it came back from RSC, must be real

. If you received a bag of parts (looks like a large hammer was used), then not real

m5blitzer · 19 January 2012, 08:02 AM

Pictures please!!

TTmax · 19 January 2012, 08:04 AM

Maybe the AD is fake too ...

mjclark32 · 19 January 2012, 08:06 AM

Which RSC did your AD send it to?

nixen · 19 January 2012, 08:07 AM

Paid $1,100 to have it overhauled from inside out and had the face changed as well. But wheb Ibrought it to geary's at Beverly Hills one of the sales accosiate said that rolex doesnot change the dial unless they still have the specific part. Which in this case rolex does not produce 5513 dial anymore. Was my watch not serviced on a rolex service center???

Here's a pic

nixen · 19 January 2012, 08:08 AM

Don't know which RSC AD sent the watch. Still figuring out how to post pic...

TimeToGo · 19 January 2012, 08:09 AM

If it was serviced by Rolex you got a warranty card.

brownbear · 19 January 2012, 08:19 AM

$1100 for service on a ND sub?
My DD full service was only 800 at the Dallas RSC..

Do I smell sumtin fishy?

Depends what was done and replaced. Also vintage service at an RSC may run higher..

nixen · 19 January 2012, 08:22 AM

I'm not on my computer right now. I'm using my phone. Lol I think I also got a warranty card and a small booklet about what they did when they are doing a service. Will post pic when I get to my computer.

rolexkiwi · 19 January 2012, 08:23 AM

you always thought it was fake?...

and now

:bang head:

yeah like above posts, should have warranty card with date of service and come back in rolex protective case - probably clear - and rolex bag.

post pics of all if you want the truth

MonBK · 19 January 2012, 08:36 AM

Are you sure that's a picture of your watch?

I'm pretty sure I've seen it before.

TimeToGo · 19 January 2012, 08:39 AM

Looks like the hands and bezel insert were also replaced. The description on your service receipt will let you know what parts are included.
