A Word About Box & Papers

It is a fact that the majority of vintage Rolex's on the market no longer have box & papers, therefore most of our Rolex's will not have their original documentation, this does not mean that they are not genuine. We provide our own paperwork with each Rolex we sell, this will show our details and a description of the Rolex sold and include the full serial number and case reference number. Remember just because a Rolex has box & papers it doesn't mean that it is genuine! We have over 15 years experience buying, restoring and selling vintage Rolex watches and we vet every Rolex we buy thoroughly. Movements, cases, dials, hands and bracelets must be correct.
