As long as you bought your watch from a reliable source thats the main priority and not a LEC in crystal. Now if you can see the LEC in the crystal without magnification then you would perhaps have something to worry about.

It looks fine.

JGX · 10 November 2013, 08:50 PM

As Padi said, from where did you buy the watch - was it from an AD? If so, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

YousefAlharoun · 10 November 2013, 08:53 PM

No I did not buy it from an AD but before i buy it i got it checked out from the rolex workshop here in kuwait but they did not open the case and check the movement they just matched the serial from the case with the one on the warranty card..

Looks fine to me. Any other reason to be worried about the watch?

JGX · 10 November 2013, 08:56 PM

Well, if you're concerned, send it off for a service. Then you'll have total peace of mind and a two year warranty to boot.

Looks fine in the photos. Best thing you can do is throw away the loupe/macro and enjoy the watch.

A LEC does not prove authenticity of any watch but your looks OK, if you have any concern get the case back off to check movement.But after case back removal watch should be pressure checked.But having a serial that matches the warranty card is a good sign, and if bought from a bricks and mortar store I would say you have nothing to worry about.

Thank you guys for assuring me of this watch because I got worried when I didn't see the S on the crown it turned out that S meant service and you'll see that on serviced watches.
