You bought from a trusted dealer so there shouldn't be any concern.

thank you but does it look good?

someone said to me

"That said, even Rolex has trouble with the best fakes, and so one could conceivably make it by DavidSW. I think those are few and far between, though, and so I wouldn't worry.

DavidSW is legit, and I'd be surprised if any of their watches wasn't.

That said, the best fakes are incredible these days, and only Rolex can tell them apart -- and then only if they're closely scrutinized. Some fakes have apparently been successfully serviced by Rolex before being detected in a later servicing."


how does davidsw get these watches? I bought it unworn so did they get it from a rolex AD or bought it off some person and resold it on their website?

I find it hard to believe that Rolex would service a fake and not know it.
I call shenanigans .

Pics don’t show for me. But I don’t need to see them if DavidSW sold it to you. There’s no one reading this thread that’s gonna know more than David before he sold it to you.

Enjoy!!

No, Rolex does not have any trouble with the "best fakes". An AD might, but they are not Rolex.

OP, no need to PM me anymore. I have no further info for you than what I and others have provided here. I will never conclude from a few photos that somehow a fake Rolex slipped by DavidSW, one of the worlds most knowledgeable and reputable Rolex dealers. Best of luck!.

did you order it directly from his website, or an ad on the classifieds here or did someone reach out to you making an offer ?
Post a link to the ad. DavidSW is an exemplary seller, if it came from him, it's real.

Rolex can very much tell if it's fake- but say it was fake and it got past David who physically handles a ton of these, how would you expect that we, ( or anyone else esp on Reddit ), could tell from a few pics whether it was real ?

Yes. Same company. The cyclops anti reflective coating color can be none, brownish, or blue. I've seen all different color versions from AD watches.

Thank you, so a GMT Master II Batman 2021 can have any AR coating colour? so mine can have none while others have blue despite the same exact model?

I ordered directly from https : // davidsw .com
I paid through metamask with ethereum so just wanted to make sure it was real cause it was a "weird payment method" to do as, can you check if you can pay with ethereum through metamask on the website for you? thank you!

100%.

I had 2 2021 Pepsis in hand at once and they both had a different color. One brownish. One blue. My DJ41 is colorless. My gold sub is blue.

If I were you I would be happy to have a colorless AR coating.

Enjoy your watch. There's no chance DavidSW would let you down. None.

This! You have a higher likelihood of buying a fake from an AD then from DavidSW. lol
