Buying Explorer thats come from Taiwan
I've been searching for a Rolex Explorer 114270 for some time and one has come up with the following details
In immaculate condition, from 2004. It has its original Rolex warranty paperwork from Taiwan (country code 828) The watch has been checked against the available registries to ensure it has a clean history. With an original Rolex box. The watch is now in England and with a dealer based in London, apart from the visual checks as to its condition, do I need to be concern that its come in from Taiwan and does the country that a Rolex comes from have an effect the value? N.B It makes no difference at all to me as the condition speaks for Its self and I believe a Rolex is a Rolex, I just want make sure I'm not missing anything,

I don't think it makes any difference as long as the watch is authentic and in good condition.

As long as it’s authentic it doesn’t matter where it’s bought from. You’re good to go!

Have it authenticated when you get it, but it sounds like you are good to go already.

I suggest a London dealer would not have purchased anything that is not 100% correct, pay for the watch on your credit card then you have the additional purchase protection etc.

Do you mean Shiy Mei Zai Watch Co., Ltd.?
It's Rolex AD in Taiwan. Just google it. Its homepage will appear on the first one. The small dent on lug, it looks like removing spring bar made this. Always having RSC check the watch authentic to make sure nothing goes wrong. |
