1shooter Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 easy what you wish for. while it is true that the watch that i bought for the wifey is not brand new and doesn't possess papers (thus the necessity for authentication), your statement that "WALANG SERVICE CENTRE ANG ROLEX NA NAG AUTHENTICATE" isn't. instead of betting on something you are not familiar with, i suggest you give the service center here a ring (better yet, give them a visit if you know where it is) and verify it for yourself. geesh, for somebody who claims to know about rolex, you sure talk funny.Kung dito mo dinala yung rolex watch na nabili mo (Rolex Centre Phil. Limited G/F Corinthian Plaza 121 Paseo De Roxas, Makati tel. no. +632 811 3029) Suko ako bro taas kamay ko sayo pero kung hindi ito yung sinasabi mo ayoko naman makipaglokohan sayo!! Ang point ko lang naman bibili ka ng mamahaling relo na di ka sure kung ok at kailangan mo pa na ikaw magpa aunthenticate sino sa tingin mo, niloloko mo yung seller, service centre or sarili mo hindi kaya sayang lang pera mo. Ayoko lang may mangloloko at nagpapaloko!!! Quote Link to comment
JohnMayall Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 The big deal about Rolex is that they are self-winding and keep reasonably good time. Fifty years ago that was a big deal but now even a cheap watch will keep perfect time and you only have to change the battery every few years; cheap and easy. So if you are spending your money to know the correct time you could do it more cheaply. I have, from time to time, worn a reasonably authentic fake Rolex; the only noticeable effect I could see was that wherever I went prices seemed to have increased by 15%. Needless to say, that Rolex has been retired. Quote Link to comment
kanski Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 1shooter, i don't have as much watches as you do. but even if i did, i probably wouldn't post their pictures here to to defend my point of view. it just seems classless to me. to be honest, i only have one rolex. graduation gift pa ng parents ko a dozen years or so. but really, i'm okay with it. that doesn't make me an expert on rolexes. but it doesn't make me ignorant either. and this i know, the rolex center here (yes the very one you listed; there isn't any other) does accept authentication services. kaya ko sinabi na dapat bago ka mag post ng mga katagang "pupusta ako" eh dapat sigurado ka sa sinasabi mo. obviously you haven't done your homework thoroughly. kaya ako nag react ng ganoon, kasi essentially, you were calling me a liar despite your ignorance. do you think i'm just some 21 y/o posting here just to impress the asses off of the psps here. bec. trully, that's how i see you. with regards to your last point- "Ang point ko lang naman bibili ka ng mamahaling relo na di ka sure kung ok at kailangan mo pa na ikaw magpa aunthenticate," ang tawag diyan ay calculated risk. i have basic knowledge on how rolexes look and feel and i bought the watch from a well known 2nd hand dealer whose shop is also in greenbelt, just accross the street from the rolex center, and they promised that if ever there was something wrong with the watch, i could take it back. i was confident that they would still be there after 2 weeks since 1) they've been occupants of that stall for years, and 2) malabong tatakbo sila just for one delinquent watch. i could go on and on, but i think that will suffice. my unsolicited advice to you is, post from an informed vantage point. if you don't, try not to alienate others by passing judgement on them. and don't pass your limited knowledge as gospel truth. afterall, nobody knows everything. i hope you take that last part constructively and with little grain of salt.

kanski Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 mild, i don't know bro. maybe others here might help out. however, i doubt if that's info that one would like to share esp. if it's first hand info. mahirap atang ikuwento na naloko ka. Quote Link to comment
kanski Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) sorry guys, isa pa. sinisipag ako. the big deal about rolex could be summarized in this description i read somewhere that said: there is a pyramid of 50 or so top brand watches in the world, and right at the apex of this is rolex and patek. all those 50 brands are known for their craftsmanship. essentially, that's what you are paying for (along with marketing costs ). however, not all collectible watches hold their price equally. which ones exactly, i leave to the experts. personally, i'm happy with my 14 y/o tag w/c i wear everyday.

lionel Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 BRO I THINK THERE IS NO SWISS MADE REPLICA How old are you sir? I'm nearing 60 And you are wrong, Have you seen the actual movement inside a rolex watch? are you familiar with the word calibre? If i mention 5512 , 5508, 6267. 2836, 2428 etc... would you know the model of the the watch i'm referring to? looking at the pictures of your collection, i would say that you are still young and still learning. you have in your collection, a heavily advertised watch. that sports a dual 2030 movement. try to make a research. not in the net. But be friendly with your regular watch tech. Tapos, ask him what a 2030 movement is. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment

lionel Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 natawa ako dun.... actually may question lang ako, because obviously i haven't experienced it....what if nakaw nga yun rolex mo, you bring it to the rolex service center to have it checked and they confirm it's stolen, pano yun di na nila babalik sayo yun relo mo? e' what if bayad na yun sa pinagbilhan mo? just asking. Compiskado!! kung naka report na stolen. kung hindi, swerte ka! some old model kasi, wala na sa data base nila Kaya para sure bring the seller or ask him/her kung pwede dalhin sa rolex. pag nag alibi na????? Btw even the bracelet matches the serial no. of the case. Kaya alam din ng rolex , kahit org un bracelet ha! kung para doon talaga sa model na dala mo, o para sa ibang model. Sa seiko forum, they call it franken seiko Quote Link to comment

ATONG ANG Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 if a person is happy with whatever he has or whatever he doesnt have, then better let him be. his knowledge of what he has wont hurt you and his ignorance of what he doesnt have wont hurt himself either. have a nice day. rolex is a nice brand but it is not the only brand, nevertheless, it is still a nice brand Quote Link to comment
