Authenticity is guaranteed!

• Every watch has been thoroughly examined and authenticated by our certified master-watchmaker
• All watches are checked for authenticity, mechanical and aesthetic condition and to make sure it is not stolen.
• Our watchmaker is Rolex certified... meaning he has a parts account with Rolex. He is an actual Rolex watchmaker who is authorized by Rolex to service Rolex watches. This is important because he is specially trained in Rolex watches.
• We have been in business since 1998 and have NEVER sold a fake or stolen watch
• All watches offered by Beckertime are pre-owned.

We are an independent sales center of pre-owned Rolex watches

• The Rolex Watch Company Ltd. has no obligation to warranty any watch sold by us. Beckertime is the sole warrantor of the Rolex watches being sold.
• We are an independent dealer of fine vintage watches and are not an authorized agent.
• We are not affiliated with any of the fine manufacturers whose watches we sell. We are not affiliated with the Rolex Watch Company Ltd., Rolex Watch USA Inc. or any of its subsidiaries.

In order to verify the authenticity of any Rolex, you will need to view the 4 primary verification points used by watch experts and professionals

These areas are full proof for validating the authenticity of a Rolex:

• The serial #
• The model (reference) #
• The movement #'s (serial # and caliber) & signature
• The inside case back id #

On all models produced before 2007, the serial # is located between the bottom lugs (where the band connects to the case). The band will need to be removed to view the serial #

The following is an example showing where the serial # is located:

On all models produced before 2007, the model # is located between the top lugs (where the band connects to the case). The band will need to be removed to view the model #

The following is an example showing where the model # is located:

The case back id # and signature is located on the inside of the case back. The case must be opened to view the case back id # and signature

The following is an example showing where the case back id # and signature is located:

The movement #'s and signature is located on the movement. The case must be opened to view the movement #'s and signature. There are 2 movement #'s: another serial # that is unique to the movement (never the same as the serial # of the case) and the caliber

The following is an example showing where the movement #'s and signature is located (Pictured with and without the rotor {so you can see the numbers}):

It is important to note that Rolex has been around for more than 100 years. There have been many changes to Rolex watches throughout the years

• Like all successful products and companies, the Rolex watch has evolved through the decades.
• Almost every Rolex model has been around for many many decades. Rolex usually makes changes to each model about every 10 years (give or take a few years depending on the model). This includes changes to the band. Usually, each change is small so that it does not compromise the style and success of that model. (Example: A Rolex from the 1970's will be a little different from the same model from the 1980's and the 1980's Rolex will be a little different from the same model of the 1990's... and so on).
• It is a red flag if a new Rolex is exactly the same as one from decades past. (Example: Although the styling has remained the same, a 1980's Datejust will look a little different than a new watch. This includes changes to the band. A new Datejust will even be heavier than the 1980's model. There have been many changes to the Datejust over the years, with the biggest changes happening mid 2000's).
• Older Rolex watches typically weigh less than newer watches. This depends on the year of production and the model reference #.
• Rolex parts and accessories have changed throughout the years. (Example: Before Rolex outfitted their watches with sapphire crystals, they used plastic crystals).

Due to Rolex's sales policies, authorized Rolex dealers are prohibited from providing verification of preowned Rolex watches with custom aftermarket additions (such as diamond accessories or a band)

• We recommend you have it checked by a 3rd party independent Certified Watchmaker
• If you have been told that the watch is not authentic, I can guarantee they did not show you the key areas pictured above and performed those four verification tests as they are the only "full proof" verification methods. It is important for you to personally see each of the four areas... have them show you these areas for verification.

Remember that an Authorized Rolex Dealer is just a company that sells Rolex

• They are not actually Rolex. They are just authorized to sell Rolex watches.
• Employees that work for an Authorized Rolex Dealer do not need to know anything about Rolex except for the current product they sell.
• Rolex is just one of the many items that an Authorized Rolex Dealer sells... so it would be impossible for them to be an expert in all years of production of all models and the different changes each product of each manufacturer has gone through for the last 100 years... They just need to be an expert in what products they have in the store.
• An Authorized Rolex Dealer is the direct competition of an Internet Retailer... except they can not compete with the prices Internet merchants provide.
• Do not expect an Authorized Rolex Dealer to say nice things about your Internet purchase. If they did, they know there would never be a reason for you to buy a preowned Rolex from them.

Aftermarket Parts and Accessories

• Aftermarket parts and/or accessories are not made by the watch manufacturer. They are made by a company independent from the watch manufacturer. (Example: If the aftermarket part and/or accessory is on a Rolex, then that part is NOT made by Rolex)
• Aftermarket parts and/or accessories can not have any of the watch manufacturer's trademarks, hallmarks or logos. (Example: If the aftermarket part is on a Rolex, then that part will NOT have a Rolex crown or logo)
• On some watches, we do use aftermarket parts and/or accessories. Please review the description thoroughly as we provide full disclosure of what is aftermarket.

We never guarantee that any of the watches we sell are waterproof or water resistant

• Since we primarily sell pre-owned wristwatches we have no way to be certain whether the watch has retained the original waterproofing or resistance it may have had when new.
• If the watch comes with a Beckertime warranty, the warranty does not cover water damage or any other damage that resulted from water entering the case.

BOX & PAPERS

Box and papers NEVER guarantee authenticity

• All box and papers do is guarantee the box and papers are authentic. The bad guys know that people put trust into original papers so by putting genuine papers with a fake watch allows them to pull off a scam...and when the buyer finds out down the road the watch was fake, the scammer is long gone.
• The only way to check authenticity is by having the watch checked.

Box and papers are not included with any item except when noted in the description

• As with most preowned watches, the original box and/or papers are not available because they were not retained by the original owner.

Appraisals are not included with any item except when noted in the description

• Appraisals done/offered by the company from which you are buying an item from is a conflict of interest and is often viewed as biased. Many sellers will use inflated appraisals to help sell their items.
• It is always best to have a 3rd party independent appraisal/jewelry company provide an appraisal. This is because they have nothing to gain or lose by providing truthful and accurate information.

A "Service Box" is not the original Presentation Box that came with the watch when it was sold brand new

• It is a genuine box that the manufacturer sends a watch back to the customer after being factory serviced.
• If the watch comes with a Service Box, it does not mean that the watch has been serviced.

The following is an example of a Rolex service box:
