if you refer new piece = unworn piece. however it may not be the case. when you see a watch, usually it is wrap with plastic. this is done so as to prevent scratches on the bezel and glass. however, no one can be certain it is going to be a new + unworn piece. sometimes, other customers may ask the plastic to be remove and they try on their wrists, then decided not to buy.
to me so long as the piece is free from scratches, i wil take it.if you have issues with your account, click here for self help and read forum rules here. 90% of your answers can be found in Forum FAQ

Mine Rollies are bought with holograms....so I just looked at the red line. If it is present and clear, I will take it. Only my latest GMT 2-C is in plastic. Previous purchases no more plastic, only the protective plastics at side of watch...

Back home, did anyone go to an extend to do a magnification check??? To be frank, I did on mine and saw those tiny details of a Rolex indication such as the little Rolex logo at 6 o'clock on the Sapphire glass. A check on the crown too. A Grin after the whole process.the Trails and the Ocean !

Worn means used....cos the redline will start to be "eroded" then fully "erased" after a few days of wearing....
It could be there when you bought but you were not aware, after wearing it yourself, it has been "erased off" now and you dun see the redline....
The redline is desiged this way to prevent the watch from being used before it sale. That's why I do not understand with no hologram nowadays, how is this managed by Rolex...

i know that with HG, they are required to stamp the date and write down all relevant details on the card and photocopy 1 set and sent it back to rolex. that is the requirement. so if they leave the date open, the original buyer sells it off. the second owner writes down the date, this might create ambiguity. rolex is able to track which AD is holding what stock so the AD might get penalised.if you have issues with your account, click here for self help and read forum rules here. 90% of your answers can be found in Forum FAQ

The ADs(2 of them) where my Rolexes are bought all filled in the dates even though I asked them not to... I think you will not be able to unfill it for Singapore sales... I know HK allows opened warranties...
Just for info, IN Sinagpore, the RSC do not require my Receipt, just the Warranty card for my recent adjustment of "slowness" in my wtch, but then again it is a GMT II-C, so defintely withn 24 months of purchase...

Anyway thank you for the pointer, when I reach home last night and did a check on my GMTII 16710 case back and saw a very neat red line on the plastic film . It's clean and clear like u mentioned before.
U guys here r great and helpful . This website is indeed resourceful with friendly, joyous members.the Trails and the Ocean !

Yup, they want me to fill my name and they filled the dates for me....
Glad that yr watch did have the red line....so it is never worned...maybe just tried on by customers.....max....
I think if you buy a Rolex, no need to go to the extend to cheat on your warranty too.... for Rolex ownership in my opinion is a luxury.....
Enjoy yr watch dude!
