Fake/not fake Rolex
Hi

Is it always safe to buy a Rolex from authorized Rolex dealer?

I Have bought a Submariner from authorized dealer, so I guess it is a real Rolex, but I would like to be sure.

Thank You!

You bought a Rolex from an authorized dealer and you want to be sure its real?

Are you sure it was a real AD?

Welcome aboard OP, but you're not off to a good start. Post some pics of your sub.

If you bought a new Rolex Submariner from an authorized dealer listed on Rolex.com you have no worries.

Hi

The dealer was on the list on the Rolex webpage.

What does the serial number tell about the watch?
Is it possible to see what year the watch was made?

You don't want to be posting the serial number of your watch.
If you have concerns, post some pics and the experts will chime in.
However, if you purchased from an Rolex AD , you should be fine.

do you have a reason to suspect what you bought was not genuine?

Do you think they had an entire showroom full of fake watches?

First of all. I am not a troll.

Second. I have my reasons.

The Rolex Crown, on the Crown, on my Submariner could be in a better position. It dosenīt fit perfect, when the Crown is in the normal position.

I just think, it is strange that it dosenīt fit perfect, when You think about that the watch was not cheap.

Bring it back to your AD for an inspection.

Do you mean the coronet (crown) doesn't line up on the crown? Only Sky-Dwellers do that; the rest of the Rolex line does not.

Guess you won't be posting anymore

You aren't going to make very many friends with content like that.

Well, I'm sure it has already been said, but post pics so we can see what you received from the AD.
