Hello all... used Sub date purchase

[996]

Hello all,

I am just about to buy my first Rolex, have always loved them and am treating myself for my Birthday later this month.

Having found an add for a private sale Submariner Date 2006, I met the guy and he seemed very genuine, I looked at the watch to the best of my ability and was fairly confident.

I left a deposit of £400 and he offered me the box and papers to take away with me.

I have the offer of taking it to a Rolex dealer to get it checked out but untill then I wondered if anyone could tell me whether these papers and box looks genuine?

Welcom Lee.:cheers: The pictures you show are indeed genuine :thumbsup: However I would have the watch checked out by an AD before handing over any more of your money just to make sure they match. :agree:

Thanks Wolfgang!

I remember seeing a very small number matching number(I think) from the certificate inside the strap clasp, However as you have suggested I will visit a dealer for peace of mind.

looking foward to wearing my first Rolex:clap:

thanks for the warm welcome guys!

will be around to ask a few questions no doubt and see what lovely examples you all have!

there are a few other watches I want but I have also taken a liking to the Steel Oyster Perpetual Explorer.

A freind of mine who has a collection of over 40 watches has given me the bug.
