Too much trouble, do not think about playing second-hand Rolex

The purchase of used Rolex is undoubtedly a headache thing, it is necessary to distinguish between authenticity, but also insight into the seller dialect, but also to determine whether the conversion , with almost used cars, many of the details have to look at it.

Of course, even professional reference books may also be omissions, can not provide the knowledge of package package. This issue to share Nine points for the purchase of second-hand labor For the primary table friend reference, I hope you can enter a real thing, good work.

Most Valuable Rolex: Paul Newman Paul Newman

In the previous introduction of sea-type collection value, referred to double signatures, Comex, Oman, single red and other disk, different disk will directly affect the value of second-hand labor , rare will be much more expensive than ordinary.

So you should start from the disk, carefully pay attention to the following points when buying : true and false disk, whether original, preservation and special nature.

Dish true and false

Disk for second-hand labor is crucial. Paul Newman face plate Di Tongna, double red 1665 water ghosts, single red sea so, because of their rarity and become a high price existence.

Water ghost, GMT "LOGO is hand-transfer, Di Tong Na is inlaid

The face of the unknown true and false disk, remember to check the site one by one LOGO, fonts and other details : First find the same paragraph with a reference to the watch: Analysis of the crown shape, mosaic or print; and then study the main disk font form.

If even the most basic of this step are impatient, I suggest you still do not have to read on.

Disk era

Determine the disk is true, the next step you have to check the disk is original. How to understand this sentence?

Labor production is large, so "labor service parts" are also more, they are original, it is labor recognized replacement parts. The repair watch repair workers face damage may be replaced with other original parts, which appeared to be true, but non-original, more or less will affect the value of labor.

If the replacement of the disk with the original disk is not far away from the age, then the replacement of the value of the whole table will not be much impact.

However, if the two types of disk belong to different times, which have to be careful. Determine the age of the disc there is a basic method - to see luminous.

According to the chronological order, the forward luminous material in the early 1960s was radium, tritium was used around 1964 ~ 1998, Luminova was used from 1998 to early 1999, and Chromolys were used together with Chromalight since then, with Chromalight from 2008 Year began to invest.

5512 SWISS T <25 logo, said tritium

This can be distinguished from the bottom of the disk text:

SWISS said the use of radium;

T Swiss T or T Swiss T <25 represents tritium;

Next is SWISS and SWISS MADE.

So when you see a work of the seventies and eighties, the bottom of the plate is SWISS MADE, it turns out that it's been refurbished, and if you still want to get started, you can start to cut prices.

Disk product phase and special

Determine the original disk, then you have to observe the preservation status, that is, the phase. Need to explain here, the discolor does not mean bad, but may be a good thing.

It is usually more valuable if the faceplate fade brown, but when the faceplate shows something such as stains, fluorescent paint, or scratches, I believe most collectors will not appreciate these "imperfections."

With 1665 Oman emblem, the price of over 2.5 million

The above check is correct, look at the dial with or without special elements, mentioned earlier the Oman emblem, Tiffany signature, etc., these will give labor value.

After the disk is identified, your inspection is not over and there are some details that will help you to keep learning about other information - such as lettering. Case and parts of the lettering is like labor Tattoo, contains a lot of useful information: watch the year of birth, the specific model, strap and crown are original and so on.

The lettering between the lugs represents what

Remove the strap can be found in the upper and lower table ears have a string of numbers, including the lettering on the table said the model , the first two or three is used to distinguish between different series, the following for reference:

1686: Yacht Mingshi (men)

76,176: No Date (lady)

69,79,179: diary type (lady)

1696: Yacht Mingshi (lady)

Lettering on the surface of the table means that the model, beginning of the week 18 refers to the calendar type

The lettering in the following table shows the serial number , which tells you the year of birth, but only until 2010, is it possible to learn because the random serial number was used after 2010. Here is an important data can be used: If it is "44" at the beginning of the serial number, indicating that the case is a replacement repair, not the original, the value of the entire table will be discounted.

Oyster quartz watch

In addition, a small number of rare models will model and serial number engraved on the back of the table, and the model is like the 1630 Oyster quartz watch is carved in the back of the lugs.
