When buying a Pre owned, how do we know if the case , and
The dial is orginal. What I am trying to ask is how do we know the case
And dial have not been replace by the seller using another watch case
Or dial.

Hope someone able to answer.

remove the bracelet and look at the serial number, model number. make sure it tallies up; as for dial, usually seller will state that it is aftermarket, etc. alternatively, get to know what dials were offered for the particular watch and series, this should narrow things down.

end of the day, if i have a sub 16610, and i swap case/dial/hands/bracelets with another 16610, you will not know the difference. as far as i know, rsc will also confirm the watch as genuine.

it is hard to tell the dial comes originally with the watch. unless it is suppose to be say a vintage watch where dial is usually patina-ed or the lume is fading, yet the dial markers are bright. you can say the dial has been replaced. however, if it is a newer series, it is abit hard.

as for those DJ and DD models, it is harder to tell because it comes with many variants though some models do not come with a particular type of dial and if you see with an alternate dial. then it is not original.

For me...It's ok for the watch parts to be swapped as long as it's

1) Original parts (But from another watch)
2) Matching to the series/era

Changing of parts from a 16610 to another 16610 is alright and will pass through RSC's verification
