Hi Guys:
This 16610 is for sale by a watch dealer in Sydney AU.

Can anyone tell me anything about the sticker on the caseback?

I have never seen one like it before...... here's the link

I have never seen a sticker like that, where the hologram usually is. I think this needs some further investigation.

It's a sticker for Nihon Rolex (Japan Rolex). It means it's sold through an authorized representative in Japan. On the grey market in Japan, people will pay a few hundred dollars more to get the Nihon Rolex sticker.

The top portion says Nihon Rolex, bottom says direct import.
Underneath that label is your regular hologram.

If there is a Rolex sticker underneath as Ken says, then why didn't the dealer remove the top sticker to show the genuine Rolex hologram one underneath?

I reckon any non-Japanese potential buyer would steer clear of that unit. Might be a Miyoto Rolex.

Thanks for the info guys.

Some people expect that sticker if the watch comes with japanese paperwork.

Thanks, Andy....I'd highly recommend the Asian gentleman above for real, hot stuff!!

Lost me there JJ.

I was serious about the Japanese sticker. I had never seen that before.

Just kiddin', Andy. Frankly, I've never seen that Jap sticker before....but the Asian guy above is a figment of Allan's over-active imagination!!

On a serious note, Nick Hacko (whose shop is on the site referred to) is a very good dealer. He knows his Rolex and he wouldn't be caught dead with anything that wasn't genuine or straight-up. I'd certainly buy from him, although I haven't!

He's a good guy to just have a chat to about watches, as well. Hop on his mailing list, there's usually a good story or 2 to be had
