Rolex Warranty Card & Rolex Serial No. (6 o’clock) - Authentication

Photo above for illustration purposes only!

As a first time Rolex owner. I have too many negative thought due to many Fakes now.

I always wonder with the serial number carved at 6 o’clock as also written on a warranty card is it good enough to confirm the authenticity of the watch?

I did a lil research knowingly that card can be printed as FAKE!

Then, do fakes Rolex have serials too at 6 o’clock?

If I get the card and watch to RSC will they able to identify or verify if it’s authentic? Without opening the case to look into the movement? Was told that many seasoned watch enthusiasts able to tell by touching and feeling the bracelet and also the color of the bezel or watch face and etc.

Or shall I get any watch I bought from second market to RSC to identify the movement? RAC to open up the case to verify the movement. Or they able to tell by using Loupe? Was told CnC printing technology able to replicate a watch shape, size, movement, and also color at 99.9%

Really bother me along the way looking at my next collection. Can’t get one from AD nowadays.

No photo attached, and not really supposed to be discussing fakes here. There are numerous ways to test, authenticity, matching card to serial number is only one of them.

My apologies, went paranoid. No where to turn to except from GREY MARKET to own my favourite Rolex for the first time. I was told that there is a serial as well if opened up the backcase at the movement to verify.
