The "seconds" hand sweep thing use to work. Until they scammed that too. I've seen fakes that have it and they are nearly impossible to tell apart by a layman.

TAKE IT TO A WELL KNOWN JEWELER THAT KNOWS ROLEX.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Be safe, Buy new.

I agree,buy new....I am not gonna spend this kind of money and get burned....The fakes are awesome out there...Ask around I paid 6900 for a retail 8300 watch new...A lot of diamond brokers will be able to hook you up,they have connections in the industry.

I buy the real good swiss fakes it leaves me more boat expense money

i found this site also... lots of good info on it.

Those Swiss knockoff's are pretty impressive...and pricy too. Makes me wonder whether the real one I bought is really authentic! I have a Rolex warranty certificate, didn't see any knockoff of those to go with the boxes. The jeweler was a so called "authorized Rolex dealer" probably a knockoff sign....who knows? Upside is my wife really liked the Fendi bag knockoff's, at least I could save a few bucks, now I just have to find knockoff Channel sunglasses to go with the KO Fendi...:D
