New Member, first Rolex.

Hello everyone, I have not been a fan of Rolex, not because of the quality just none have ever caught my eye but the Milgauss stood out to me when they released it with the blue face. My wife got me one for Christmas pre-owned and it did not come with a Rolex box or card... She is sure its real. Me being me I took it to my local watch guy and to the best of his knowledge it's genuine (I live in a small town no Rolex dealer for 2hrs). I just wanted to post some photos that way if someone notices something wrong please post. I can not believe the clone/rep/fakes on the market some are so close its scary. Thank you.

Nice! Hope there was a deep discount with no box/paperwork.

Have fun looking at it. Especially when the light hits the crystal just right, and it looks like a green light saber shooting out of the side. I love mine too!

Oh no... hmm... nah, nothing looks suss

Was it bought private sale or thru a shop? There can be issues with title if seller doesn't guarantee it, if you're the worry type.

I did buy it from a shop in Florida. I can get my money back if its not real. I have only ever bought 1 watch w/o box and paperwork and it was real but I had it looked at a few times before I felt better. Thanks everyone for looking and making me feel better.

One thing about Rolex I do not understand is verifying serial numbers. I would think this would be a a must but they wont spend 1k on a simple program... They could charge a fee per look up and make a killing.

About the box and paper work. I can buy a set now w/o the warranty card. Should I have it serviced and get a new card would that count as a full set or do I have to have the original card?

I do have to say the green crystal with the blue face is unreal, I do not think I have enjoyed wearing a watch more and unless I have a suit on this is my new daily.

I am going to have to invest in a watch winder, I foresee many of my watches remaining dormant.. I really hope I do not start collecting these things
