As one of the leading brand names in the watch business, Rolex has been of outstanding performance and prestige for over a century. With a Rolex on your wrist, you do not only have style and class but also the ultimate status symbol.

There are several things to be done to ensure the smooth proceeding of purchasing a good Rolex watch. The following steps are useful to minimize the lost in making a good deal: checking sellers' reputation, inquiring for model number, asking for first three digits of serial number.

Checking the sellers' reputation is of great importance no matter you are purchasing in the store or on the internet. First of all, you should find an authorized dealer. It will not take you a lot of time and energy to find it out since in most authorized stores the crown emblems are usually displayed somewhere in the stores. Then you can ask the dealer to show you the certificate papers which can prove that the watch is an authentic one. Last, if you are determined to buy the watch, you can also take it to a professional technician to check it out.

If you are purchasing online, you have to be more careful in checking the sellers' reputation. You can check the sellers' feedback, including positive remarks and negative remarks as well as the selling ratings. It is good to know the website as much as possible if you are using a search engine, such as the history of the website, the company and check the policies since most companies have a refund policy and a warranty policy.

Inquiring for model number can help you avoid buying the wrong watches since some sellers customize watches so as to sell the old watches. You may easily get cheated if you don not know the model number. You are planning to buy a latest watch which is in vogue now, however, it turned out to be an old one. Worse still, you have to pay the price of a new watch just for an old one. Therefore, it is beneficial to get more information for model number. Popular Rolex watch models include:

GMT II

Daytona

Explorer

Rolex Air King

Milgauss

Submariner

Asking for first three digits of serial number can help you distinguish the watches that look similar and about the same price. For instance, if you have a watch R86XXXX(1988) and a S73XXXX(1994), they have about the same price yet different serial numbers, then the second one would be better. The serial number plays a key role in deciding which to choose in such cases.

Follow these steps, you will be more confident and find it easy in your purchase.
