This is untrue...there is no app or database available to anyone except Rolex.

Are you doubting that TS/greys don’t check serials?

Since you say so, must be true. Lol

Technology and the internet are always evolving. I’m not affiliated with this company, nor am I a user/subscriber; however, it is fathomable that a database of stolen serial numbers exist.

I know of two TS on here that certainly don't. I won't share my stories publicly but you can always PM if you want to know just how little checking occurs and how hands off the deals really are for them. In some cases they haven't even held the watch in their listing but trust a 3rd party to drop ship it for them sight unseen.

Good to know. I see and hear primarily “buy the seller” along with promoting TS on here, and very little along the lines of your comments above. That said, I know of a TS on here that uses Chronofy to check serials, so there is at least one.
