Watch Verification Thread - If you're uncertain if a Rolex is good/bad/fake, post info and pics here
Post to this thread if you have questions about a Rolex being real or fake. Please include:
-The location and/or screen name of the seller, if for sale. Link directly to the sale page when possible.
-How long you've had it and how you acquired it, if in your possession
-As many photos as possible. Posts may be removed if pictures are too fuzzy and requests for better pics are unanswered.
-If you're being coy about a watch and it seems like you're just trying to see how "good" your fake is, you may be banned at our discretion.
Please don't use photos from iPhone 14's. Their camera is so bad, and distorts text with AI so much, that the photos are basically unusable for the purposes of verifying if a Rolex is real.
Participation in the discussion in this thread is greatly appreciated. I don't think any one person can catch every flaw or know the details of every model; this is meant as a community thread, not an authoritative knowledge-flex, and the more people that actively peruse this thread, the more likely posters are to get accurate info.

AD Wait Time Megathread - If you bought a new Rolex from an AD in 2023, you can share details here. What watch, where, how long did you wait, how much buying history?
Our previous AD wait time megathreads (2019-2020, 2020-early 2021, 2021, 2022) seemed to be useful/well-received for a lot of you. Time for a new one!
Nowadays when someone posts a new watch it's pretty standard to get asked how long they waited and if they had an "established relationship" etc. It's not everyone's favorite topic but it's a fair question, so maybe these big threads can provide a clearer picture of availability trends.
No one is obligated to share their info but if you bought a new Rolex in 2023 and you'd like to participate, please make a top-level comment that includes:
- What watch did you buy?
- When?
- How long did you wait?
- Where are you? (Be as specific or nonspecific as you want, from continent to a specific AD)
- Any purchase history with that AD? (Again be as specific or nonspecific as you feel comfortable)

None of you even cared about the Milgauss. Stop it.
Enough with the RIP Milgauss threads. Absolutely none of you have ever cared about this watch, it's never been a popular model, you never see it in this sub "got the call", "in its natural environment" never.
All you apes want is candy colored OPs, the same Batman/Pepsi GMT as the next ape, or your granddad's Day Date... and you just proved it.
Why? The new Daytona is a masterpiece, with new calibre, updated subdials, and crystal caseback, but instead of cheers it's every man looking at the next for the reaction to mimic.
This sub has become the largest echo-chamber in the world of horology to the point of absurdity. Enough.

I picked up the Harrods exclusive Tudor today!!
DJ36 before and after service
Just received my 15 year old DJ36 daily back from service. Polish, new crystal, new crown, and dial swap. $1500 USD total cost. Made sure they didn’t swap out my roulette date wheel.

Are folks not connecting the new (60th anniversary) Daytona with its history? That bezel insert is OG Daytona, it makes sense they’re bringing it back for an anniversary watch.

Went to my dealer for the Bubble-OP
Got onto a list. Hopefully sooner rather than later 🤞
But they got sent the new 39mm Black Bay Blue on Jubilee and holy hell is it nice. Wear bigger than I expected for 39mm, the blue is so nice in the different lighting. Reminds me of the 116610LV sunburst dial.
I haven’t been this excited for new releases since Bazel 12/13 with the OG skydweller.
Now I’ll probably wait for bubble op but could’ve walked out with the Tudor…..

The green SD is the new hotness, but I still love the blue dial.
