Authentication service from Rolex centre didn't come with black and white?

Hi,

I am new in this forum. Recently went to Rolex service centre to get my preowned GMT 2 for authentication service. I was told they won't issue any paper to proof the watch is a real piece. But only gives the customer a call to tell them whether is real or not that's all.

I was only given a invoice stating service cost of $107 upon taking back my watch.

Is it the right procedure from them?

[MsLucifer]

yup, by them taking in the watch is "proof" its authentic.

[Zhi_Peng]

yes. u r right. they only provide a service receipt.

[skydweller_sg]

they are being cautious

they are being cautious

Aka they are not guaranteeing it is authentic.

@ the point of time, when they receive the watch, it is authentic. if they refuse to take in your watch, then it means the watch is not authentic @ the point of receiving.

RSC is being cautious as pointed out. why? what if RSC issues a receipt indicating under description authentication, then the owner of the watch swap fake parts in the watch after authentication and use the RSC issued authentication receipt to sell to unsuspecting buyers?

then the watch gets sold and new buyer sends in the watch to RSC for service and RSC rejects because of fake parts and new buyer produces the authentication receipt? so RSC indirectly gets into trouble for no reason on their own.

unless they take the watch apart for a proper service, it probably isnt possible to fully authenticate that the watch is 100% Rolex.

whether just letting them do a one over is good enough is subjective to different people.

there is something call a date/time stamp. Issuing a cert with date/time stamp at the point of authentication should suffice. The question is why aren't they, RSC doing it?

I would say that i prefer their current practice.

Ya, current practice is good.
That‘s why watch with cert cost more.
