Hello and seek guidance

Hi all,

I’m about to make my first Rolex purchase later today. I’m getting the 116710BLNR, hence need some guidance and advice on how to avoid getting replica unit.

I have researched online and watched quite a number of videos from YouTube, but it will be nice to hear directly from existing Rolex owners.

Thank you....

If you are new to Rolex, I would suggest buying from an Authorized Dealer (AD). You may pay a bit more, but you cane 100% certain of authenticity.

If you are willing to buy from a grey dealer, then I recommend one of our Trusted Sellers. There are several with impeccable histories. But nail down all details including what the warranty card will say (whose name) and if it is a Rolex warranty.
