Icon5 Authenticity check, first post...

Hello!
I got offered a 31 mm OP Turquoise from my local AD.
I shared the photo and some ppl were concern about its authenticity.
Can someone please advise me? I was thinking about getting it for my wife.
It is weird to me since the AD that offered me is listed as an official Rolex retailer in the Rolex website.
I am sharing the photo

If you are offered a brand new watch from a Rolex AD, I would not be concerned with the authenticity.

Is the watch new? pre-owned? I notice there aren't any stickers on it. The case & bracelet appear to have hairline scratches on it.

It is supposed to be new. I have purchased from the same AD before and have not had any issues. Thanks for your answer!

If you are buying from an Authorized Rolex Dealer there will never be a problem.
If you are buying from a random dealer all bets are off.
This is a new modern watch so it should have its original box/documentation from Rolex anyway.

Watch appears legit.
What did they highlight as an issue?
As others have said, if new from an AD, no concerns at all.

The day an AD sells a fake is the day I eat my GMT, also from an AD

. . .

Seriously !

You have an Authorized Dealer with a watch for sale and you are listening to "some people" about its authenticity.

This is the Rolexforum of 2023. Is this Watch that’s offered by an authorized Rolex dealer look ok?

Don't do that if it's pre 1960.
