I have come across a listing on ebay for a "Rolex oyster perpetual".Only thing is, it has a japan movement.I am not sure that this is a genuine Rolex as I am certain Rolex do not have japanese movements.Any confirmation please to its probable authenticity.The seller alleges the watch was serviced and certified genuine by a jeweller.

Well said Lin, any watch that is marked Rollex and has a Japanese movement is a fake. Of course there's nothing wrong with a Japanese movement, it's just not a Rolex.

As for random jewelers, the sum total of their watch knowledge will be changing the battery on a quartz watch, on a good day.

I'd also urge you to join up as a member Michael. It'll be the best $12 you ever spent.

Many thanks for the help.I was 100% certain Rolex never did japanese movements.The seller even had the nerve to tell me I know nothing when I said it was a fake, prior to posting here.I replied to the seller that i know more than them and their so-called jeweller who is a back street cowboy, and said i would notify ebay to have the watch removed .An hour or so later, it was removed.

Good for you Mike....well done. You get an "atta boy" from all of us here.
