Help with authentication!

[Jayrock26]

Hello TRF!

I am looking at buying a rolex but i have a comcern with the authenticity of the movement.

The watch is a 14060m and the movement is 3130.
The issue i am having is the proper caseback engravings on the inside it reads rolex geneva swiss stainless steel and a number but it does not indicate the model number. Secondly on the movement itself it reads "rolex geneva swiss" when all the reliable movement pictures i find of the 3130 indicate "montres rolex S.A geneva swiss"

Should i be concerned if its authentic?

I have pictures if needed to see what i mean!

And yes the pictures are necessary
some of us have terrible imagination,
after reading all that I'm picturing a young 20's blonde Brazilian

Male or female Brazilian blonde?

Yes this caseback is OK for 14060M, see R20 :

[Jayrock26]

These are the 3 i got of the movment hopefully its enough to tell if its authentic !

[iWally]

If thats not genuine i don't know what is :D :D :D

[Jayrock26]

Looking for someone to back wally! Would like to go through and get my first rolex!

Greatly appreciated

[Kyu]

the 3130 movement is correct on the 14060M, previous models 14060 are 3030.

as for the stamp, Rolex Geneva Switzerland stainless steal 2160 Stamp is supposed to be there also,

I just recall how it exactly looks, but that looks about right


and if you get it, that sir is a fine choice and congrats

if you look next to the 2 gold gears in the movement next to that big red one,
There will be another one peaking out saying hello

[Jayrock26]

Yeah i wasn't sure if it could have been a fake since it doesnt say "montres rolex s.a"
Good to know thats the proper caseback engraving aswell

I hope i do! Thank you

Sorry I didn't see this earlier; Rolex doesn't stamp a model # on casebacks because they use the same ones for more than one model.

You are good to go here...

[mjclark32]

No expert, but looks ok to me

if your so uncertain why don't you get it authenticated by a Rolex Store? I hear they charge a fee..100 Pounds or so in the UK and give a certificate of authenticity once they completely check it. Atleast you'l be satisfied... I've heard this exists, but I haven't checked it out myself so not 100% sure... anyone?

Rolex Canada will charge $150 but you're looking at leaving the watch with them for 10 days to 2 weeks before its done and ready for pick up
