Purchased a 2020 Hulk from a Pawn Shop yesterday and people on reddit are giving me second guesses that my watch bezel was swapped with a SBUX one? I purchased this watch in Calgary for $28KCAD. It included full box, paperwork, hangtag, and receipts from our local (former AD) Brinkhaus.

Serial number on the display tag, warranty card, and in rehaut all match. I assumed based on the provenance (receipt from an AD I shopped at + matching serial + matching name on receipt and warranty card) that this was legit.

Are the people on reddit just clowning or is there more to this watch that I need to check it out further? I can't see why anyone would swap a bezel?

Thanks!

Hi,
what is it that made them say its sTARBUCKS insert?
It could be the lighting but I see some differences between yours and the hulk bezels.
Dial is correct for your year.

They said the color looked off. I brought it to AD that sold the watch and they verified it’s legit!

Looks good to me, nice Mk3 later dial. Nice watch!

I would rest easy, looks legit to me. The Rolex subreddit is chock full of clowns who love to fancy themselves as eagle-eye experts who will shout "fake!" whenever someone posts up pics of a newly-acquired timepiece, no matter what gets posted up.

Maybe the lighting, bezel color/texture looks bit diff than my 2014.

not shiny, reflective.

the gap between the bezel and the ring is quite noticeable...near the crown area.

I think you have a mk1 2014. Mine is 2020

Your bezel color does look different but this is easily remedied. (Of course it could just be the photo's exposure)

Let the RSC have a look at the watch to quote you an overhaul. If it is an aftermarket bezel, you'll be told. It can then be replaced and all's well.
