I believe this is the best an most reasonable way to determine what is in the case since the movement is the heart of the Rolex you can see if the movement is trashed or worse fake. If you do not have time to do this step you are in for a big wake up call. Mind you I am talking about people like me who are not experienced buyers of high end watches.
