2 questions please

[Fagin]

My new Rolex and a couple of questions please.

1. What is the best way to clean my Rolex, i have seen people putting them in soapy water on you tube etc but how do i know it is watertight ?

2. There doesnt seem to be any adjustment on the bracelet, do i need to have links removed ?

Thanks in advance

Uh-oh...

This watch does not appear to be of Rolex manufacture, given the size of the crystal's LEC.

[Fagin]

Thanks Alcan. Now im worried, what is the LEC ?

[Alcan]

Laser Engraved Coronet in the crystal at 6:00 position. Very tiny and usually very difficult to see. Also, the bracelet should have 4 (if I remember correctly) fixed links on each side, with the rest being removable through threaded link pins.

Was this watch not bought through a Rolex AD?

[Fagin]

No it wasn't purchased from an AD, the Lec wasn't very easy to see, i used a loupe but it does but i will try and measure it and put some better pictures up shortly. thanks for your help (any idea what it should be or how big it looks in relation to say the 6 oclock marker ?

Here are a couple of authentic LEC's. You might want to have a watchmaker remove the case back and verify the movement authenticity.

This GMT looks perfectly fine to me!!

As far as cleaning I would use anything you desire it's your watch but IMO I would just use water and soap on the bracelet and just use a apple wipe cloth for the head of your watch at least until a couple of years use!! Just wear it it's a great watch and enjoy!!

Cheers!!
