Hi, I will be getting my first rolex, so i was thinking of getting a BNIB instead of a preowned. I have a question and correct me if i may be wrong, but if rolex is purchased from a trader from overseas AD and authenticated at RCS by buyer, generally speaking, is the rolex any different from being purchased from local AD in terms of warranty or mechanism differences? I believe since it is all manufactured in same plant, the machanism should be the same? If so, there should be no reason whatsoever to believe that rolex purchased from overseas AD would have lower monetary value compared to those purchased at local AD?

For local AD, since i'm paying a slight premium, what other goodies can i request from local AD apart from the box, warranty,bezel protector and cloth?

Lastly, does RCS give some kind of certification or receipt proving that the rolex is authenticated or is it like just verbal confirmation?

TIA

Cheers

as long as the watch is authenticated @ RSC, you will be charged $75(different models different pricing). RSC will then issue you a invoice indicating the cost of authentication.

no difference if the watch is bought from singapore AD or overseas AD

what kind of freebies? if it is a first time purchase, usually none. but if now, maybe can get a rolex calendar or small rolex diary.

THH LP...quite nice pple...calendar, diary, hard-cover & bigger brochures for some brands also available

BTW, just curious....is it normal to ask for the clear plastic case? I believe rollies are 'transported' in them, boxes are separately given by the ADs???

I bought my EXP II from THH LP in June 08 that come with the clear plastic case and the green ROLEX box.

I heard the Gold concentration used in Rolex watches is different in Europe, 14K, 18K??

Watches for Asia has a higher rate of Gold content.

Please correct me if i'm wrong here.
