Rollie Authenticity and Condition Opinions?
Is there a thread or area where I can post a link to a watch I'm looking at purchasing to get opinions on authenticity or condition? Sorry, I'm new to the Rolex forums.

Thanks!

The WatchOut section.

- Buy the seller, not the watch
- Ask for return policy if watch not is what advertised
- Authentication from pictures are actually meaningless. You don’t know if you receive that exact watch.

As above. But I can save you some time. If it's a Rollie it's a fake. The correct spelling is Rolex.

"Rollie" is never well received on any of the brand forums. Never has been.

Which is odd when stupid nicknames like "Bluesy", "Batman" and "Starbucks" seem to be ok

But that's just the way it is.

Generally not a sound idea to insult folks you are looking to for help.

I actually laughed out loud to this.

The OP I knew would be flamed for the title but didn't expect him to fire back. Best way to not get help

QUIET DOWN people. The luxury Swiss watch brand name in question is Rolex. That's ROLEX, not ROLLIE, not ROLLY, but ROLEX.

Now if I need to say this again I'm going to report the entire forum to the mods. Say it CORRECTLY.

The nicknames are more stupid than "Rollie"

Agreed.

I find when evaluating a ROLEYEEE I just pick it up and look at it.
