for me, i am quite comfortable with the watches there, so before make my decision for the purchase, i would like to gain some feedback from those who had bought from there before. i am sure the feedback from the members will help me a lot in the purchasing. Btw, do you bring your watches for checking the authenticity at the service centre or by any other watch expert?

Actually, I have never sent the watches I bought there to another watchmaker to check. But the way I look at it is..

1. he gives you a sale receipt showing the watch model and serial number.
2. he also gives a 2 year warranty for his watches, stated on the receipt.
3. he and his father's shop has been in business for decades with a very large customer base.

I don't think it would be in his best interest to sell fakes. In a small town like Kuching, he and his business would be very short-lived if he tried to do that.

However, condition of watches is another matter. Some could be over-polished and not obvious to the trained eye. His father services Rolex for most of his life but whether he has access to genuine parts, I wouldn't know. I have not had to service a watch yet but if I do, I'd probably send it to the RSC in KL.

When Bro. dpkong mentioned do your homework, it includes checking the serial no. and compared it with the list of Rolex watches manufactured with the serial no. to see if it matches the timeline.
As for the inside parts of the Rolex watches, it would be another matter. For the untrained eyes, it may look to be original parts, but nobody knows, right? Anyway, like most of the MWF members will advise, "Buy the Seller first". Satisfy yourself by asking all questions that you have doubts about. Once you are truly satisfied then only you proceed to get your dream watch.

Test the seller first. Tell him that you are just looking, ask some basic questions and see if he can answer at length, passionately and patiently.

i find that for most sellers, they won't spend a lot of time with you if they are told you are "just looking". you need to specify that you are looking "to buy" and not looking as in "window shopping".

answering passionately about watches will only come from WIS and not watch traders which most sellers with a shopfront to maintain are.
