Hi.
I would like to ask, if is any possible to verify authenticity of Rolex ?
I bought it in Norway on garage sale and I’m still not sure if it is original or fake. Could you help?

Ah yes, the highly sought after, double location manufactured Geneva-Hong Kong Rolex. Very rare. In fact, this is the only one I’ve ever seen

Looks like it needs a service though so be sure to contact Rolex. These older models only use Rolithium batteries

It’s amazing what you can find in a Norwegian garage.

Oh my. No way!

It's very real but could also be fake. I would ask Rolex.

There was a Rolex line called the Rolex Orchid. This appears to be something either real or fake that is from the Orchid line. I have never seen this particular version of the Orchid. I have never seen that case back on an Orchid. I have never seen the Hong Kong movement before. I can not tell you if it's a real watch or not but someone familiar with Rolex quartz watches could tell you if that movement was ever used, or the movement could have been placed there by someone who serviced the watch. That's all I know. Good luck with it, find a qualified vintage Rolex dealer or send to Rolex for authentication.

Seen this at a Philips auction before. It was in the jeweled section with the Choperd and Audemar Piglets. Didn’t break any records but Christy’s might have sold some too.

That Moser braille watch is a nice thing
The appalling fakeroo Rollex needs sinking in a deep fjord

@wwdd23
Are you really serious?
Even if you are very weak in geography, it should be clear that a movement with "HONGKONG" written on it CANNOT be a Swiss quartz movement, as it is claimed on the engraving on the back.

No, it’s the same troll who does this over and over and is oblivious to the banality of running the same gag repeatedly.

I think Rolex quartz models were only date-just and day-dates, neither of which fits the description of this amazing piece you have managed to find.

I look forward to your next "is this real" post.

 

[bigclive2011]

And how many real Rolex and Patek watches do you find in garage sales 🤔

Or maybe you paid £10k for it…well did yer…

The vintage plastic movement casing ring is critical. With the caseback removed DO NOT lose that piece.

Goodness. My skin is turning green already...
