That will depend who you are buying from. Local AD or grey/private dealers. If the former, it is less tedious/hassle to check. If it is the latter, then you got to be more careful, especially in the authenticity of the watch, documentations, etc.

morning bro ocean,

is there any reference for me to check if the watch is in brand new condition as in like bracelet the latest is PJ right ?
or have i check wrongly ?

wats are all the details things in a full package brand new rolliE?

If buy from local AD, no need. Just check the condition of the watch and all docs are correctly done. Then pay and go!

Hi, I am newbie just got a sub date
New sub date come with serial no engrave on chapter ring, so does it still engrave between lugs?
Don't see any number appear on the chain as posted by some other brother own rollies, is that normal for a V series?

thanks

If you are buying new from the AD. There's little chance you need to open up the case to check the movement or even the "ID". It's engrave on the near face position already if it's a V series watch.
