Shame on goldsmiths

[Leahorsfall]

Apparently ADs ate now told by Rolex not to verify the authenticity of watches

Right couple of Charlies in goldsmiths nottingham (steer clear)

My friend has recently bought a 1992 yachtmaster yellow gold online and with no crown on the glass and less than 2.5% mag on the date window we took a trip in to ask their opinion!

Empty shop
No sports models on offer

We told the woman in there that it had been bought online and wondered if they wouldn’t mind having a look at it....

met with the ARROGANCE of a MANU fan from the late 1990s

“You should NEVER buy on line because the ONLY way to 100% verify is to send to rolex....even companies like watchfinder can’t verify watches properly . Only buy from an AD....

She took out an eyeglass and looked at it in a ‘id just LOVE to tell you it’s fake’ kinda way and said that it’s against rolex policy to tell if it’s real or not
Bloke said there was no way of verifying without sending off....

I said “so you’re telling me that if I came in here with my sub to sell it to you that you’d have to send it off first?” To which he just seemed a bit lost for an answer

I pointed out that I’d love to buy a sports model from her but that she didn’t have any and that I dare say she wouldn’t put me on a list unless I bought a DJ....she confirmed this so I told her that seeing as I neither want a DJ nor a lengthy weight I generally buy grey.....she said that stock numbers isn’t goldsmiths fault to which I said “I guess your poor customer service and lack of manners isn’t Rolex fault”

I’m in a suit with a yellow gold sub on!!

Blooming idiots!!

Went down the road to berry’s and the guy spent half an hour with us discussing watches

Great experience
