It was a sunny afternoon when I finally decided to get myself a Rolex. I’d been thinking about it for a while, and the Ref.86349 model caught my eye. I knew that buying a real Rolex was a big deal because there are so many fakes out there. I started researching and asking around on how to spot a fake one.
First, I went on the internet and searched for the official store. I found their details and gave them a call. I asked them all sorts of questions about the Ref.86349 model, what I should look out for, and how to make sure I wasn’t getting ripped off. They were really helpful and gave me a bunch of tips.
They told me to pay attention to the details on the watch’s face, like the way the numbers and letters are written, and the little crown logo. They said real Rolexes have really clean, sharp markings. So, I made a note of that.
Next, they said to check the engravings on the watch, especially the serial and model numbers. They told me where these numbers should be on the Ref.86349. They also mentioned that these numbers on a real Rolex are super neat and precise, not messy or uneven. I compared some pictures of real Rolex watches with the information they gave me to get a better idea.
- Examine the watch face: Look for precise markings and the Rolex crown logo.
- Check the engravings: Find the serial and model numbers and check their quality.
- Listen to the movement: Real Rolexes don’t make a loud ticking sound.
Another thing they warned me about was the sound. They said if you hold a real Rolex to your ear, you shouldn’t hear a loud “tick-tock” sound. Real Rolexes have a really smooth movement, so they don’t make that noise. That was a cool trick I definitely wanted to try.
The Big Day
When I finally went to the store, I was a bit nervous. I spent a good amount of time looking at the watch, using a magnifying glass they gave me to check all the tiny details. I looked at the face, the engravings, and even listened to it to make sure it didn’t tick loudly. Everything seemed perfect, just like they described.
I ended up buying the watch. I felt pretty good knowing that I had done my homework and taken all the steps to make sure I was getting a real Rolex. It wasn’t just about having a fancy watch; it was about making a smart purchase and not getting scammed.
