Hello From Seattle

Hi everyone.

About to purchase my first Rolex and thought joining the forums would be a good place to learn about the community.

I do have one question, which I will search. If I am buying pre-owned, how can I verify the SN of the watch?

Thanks!
Will

Welcome, Will. Wondering what you mean by verifying the serial number? Is the end goal making sure that the watch is authentic?

Thanks everyone!

I was able to work with Erik Szper (based on recommendations here) and purchase my first grail watch. Should be getting to me next Wednesday.

Yes, to verify its authenticity. However, the watch I purchased just came back from the RSC with a warranty and itemized list of what was done. That, in conjunction with the recommendations here, have me very confident in my purchase.
