I use Rolextracker.com - not sure how effective these sites are and if it would ever work unless someone tries to register and I guess to do that you have to pay the fee...yada yada yada...as they say in Seinfeld.
I’ve been talking with the guy, and convieniently he stopped responding after I asked if he is ok with going to an AD to confirm it’s not stolen. Could be nothing, but not a good sign... and I don’t even have a serial number I can look up
I realllllllly don't get how the hell one loses the papers on something like a modern Rolex when they contribute so much to the secondary market value. But the bracelet too? That just screams something not right.
I have been a Rolex enthusiast for some time. Policy at the Rolex Centers is not always consistent in my experience. Some would ask you to bring your watch in to show it to them before you can buy the bracelet. Sometimes a direct sale like this is not possible and they might even ask you to service your watch in order to buy the bracelet. No kidding.
