I was able to open your tinypic URL.

Where did you get your Rolex from?

Thank you for the pics.
I got it from a private seller in London, I tried using a LED to check the tiny Rolex logo which is at the six o'clock position in the glass and it was there. So I hope this can confirm the watch is genuine. Do you think I still need to show it to a dealer?

I agree if only to be sure there are no parts that are aftermarket. Sometimes people try to save a few $$$ by using generic crystals, tubes, crowns, gaskets, etc. Or they don't even know that these parts were used by a watchmaker who doesnt have a Rolex parts account.

Just a peace of mind step worth taking.
