bought my first Rolex
Hello all. New member here. Super excited, I just bought my forst Rolex yesterday after about a year looking for the right one. Ended up getting an excellent deal on a 6 month old (june 2015) two tone (stainless,blue and gold) submariner with of course the ceramic bezel. Just wanted to share some pics. Watch still has the factory protectice stickers. Bought it from a very reputable jeweler but always shore with the forum just in case. Look forward to posting frequently. Any good ways to tell if it is definitely authentic. Like i said it was from a jeweler i trust, but just for piece of mind, what are sone tell tale signs for a 2015 sub. I will try to post pics when i get anear a computer.

So is it 6 months old or NOS (New Old Stock) because it still has the stickers?
If it's a reputable dealer, then you should not have to worry about authenticity. |

By the way. I do know that it has the Rolex crown which is very hard to find in the crystal. The sticker on the sode of the casing also has a barcode on it. Not sure if that helps. Again, i will try to upload mor epics soon. Thank you everyone for the help.

Thank you man. Good to hear. I know its hard to tell from a crappy iphone pic. Does anyone know what there is a sliver ofgreen sticker on the back casing? Doesnt look like anyone cut it but it only covers a small section of the back casing. |

Looks good from your picture. I never feel completely confident until seeing the movement though I would likely not want to remove the caseback until necessary. Would anyone else suggest having a separate watchmaker remove the caseback prematurely for piece of mind?

Most people leave the case back stickers on. It's just a thin layer of protection

First off congrats on your first! Case back sticker is there to protect the back from getting scratch by the bracelet. I would leave that sticker and take off the rest.
