Hi all,
I'm new to rolex and would like to ask you all for advise. I'm thinking to get my dad his all time favorite Cellini rolex in black leather straps for Father's Day. So today I took him to Govberg, one of Rolex authorized dealer. They have the watch that he really likes. This place offer 10% discount compare to Tourneau. I was so tempted to get it for him but upon inspection I saw some minor scratches on the rim of the face. I asked the SA if there's a brand new one in stock which she said no. She constantly reminded me that it's a brand new watch. Keep in mind that this store also carry pre-owned watches. My question is: Does all rolex watches come with the hologram watch hang tag? Or does it come with certain models only? Because the one I saw at the store doesn't have the hologram tag. Could they possibly gave me the pre-owned watch instead? Is there anything else to look for in identify the authenticity of the watch? thank you so much ladies. I'm greatly appreciate it.

Alex,
Not sure if by hang tag, you meant this?
I'm no expert, but I learnt that this is on watches that are certified by COSC for the chronometer.
As for scratches, the new one I bought came with protective films. You can verify authenticity by checking the serial number inside the watch near the 6 mark using a loupe. You can also post in TRF where there's also a group of Rolex enthusiasts/ collectors/ experts who could help.
GL!

Thank you for your reply Cottoncloud
. Yes, that's the hang tag I saw on numerous watches on this forum. Unfortunately I didn't see that on the watch today.. There's no protective film on the watch either. It seems to me that the watch has been worn. Thank you for pointing it out about checking serial numbers, I didn't thought of that.Thank you for your reply Cottoncloud
Check the warranty card that came with it. It should blank or have your information written on it. There should be a hologram tag as well as another tag with serial and style on it. Theres no reason a brand new watch shouldn't come with those things.
TT Daytona
Gorgeous!
This thread really got me thinking if I should go ahead and get a daytona.

Thank you!
Honestly, if the price makes sense for you and you are ready to invest in a great timepiece that you'll have for years.... The Daytona is a no-lose situation IMHO. I'm a fan of almost all Rolex models, but there is certainly something timeless and special about the Daytona for me personally.
Hi TPF'ers!
In one month, I'm graduating and I can choose a nice gift that will last me a lifetime.
I was thinking about a Rolex!
Does anybody know if there's a big price difference around the world? I live in Belgium, but if there's really a big difference, I wouldn't mind waiting until I travel somewhere.
Thanks!
