Another cheap way of verifying Rolex watch other than RSC

[Lucky Luke]

I do not want to make any judgment. But what took me by surprise was this:

After realizing that the watch was fake, the staff returned it to the dealer, knowing that the dealer would not want to polish a fake ROLEX watch. Or so he thought. The dealer, upon learning that the watch was fake, panicked and made an urgent call to someone (might be his business partner or something because I heard him said "WHERE'S THE CUSTOMER?!"). He was out of the shop for a while. Soon after, the dealer returned and asked the staff to polish the watch

Quietly, the staff took the watch and carried on with the polishing at the back of the shop



This, I wouldn't know. Maybe he did, maybe not. But the fact that the dealer carried on to polish a fake ROLEX watch "intrigued" me

the shop is at golden landmark?

after reading this article, will you still want to go to money max or pawn shop for assistance in authenticating your watches?

now the choice is yours to save money by not going to RSC or otherwise.

Hi all,

I had read that there are alot of ppl going to RSC to pay $107/- to verify the watch and sometimes the time taken can be as long as 2 working days.

Those buying watches with fellow users here might want to consider another way which is much cheaper. For me, I personally will go to money max or similar pawn shop for assistance.

E.g I will go with seller to money max and pawn the watch at S$2000/-. The staffs will then need to verify and open the casing to chk the authencity of the watch. They will also chk if there are dents or scratches on the watch and glass itself. Once done and after the counter pass u the cash. U can then pay the seller the remaining amt.

U can collect back the watch on the same day or anytime within 30 days and their interest of 1% for 2k is only S$20/-. And time taken is only abt 30 mins.

Hope this suggestions help fellow buyers who find it a hassle to go to RSC. Btw money max and similar shops are open islanwide so definately more convienient.

Cheers to all
