Frequently asked questions

Can a stolen Rolex be sold with papers?

Yes. Papers can be stolen, forged, or separated from the original chain of custody, so they are not enough by themselves.

Should I check vintage Rolex watches too?

Yes. Older watches can still be reported stolen and may have complicated ownership histories.

What if the seller says the serial number is private?

You should be cautious. A serious buyer or dealer needs enough information to perform due diligence before payment.
