  • 12600x: the Oyster Perpetual generation this reference belongs to.
  • Last digit 0: Oystersteel (stainless steel).

What to check on a 126000 before you buy

  • The reference 126000 engraved between the lugs at 12 o'clock matches the warranty card exactly.
  • The case measures 36 mm and the metal is Oystersteel (stainless steel) — weight and colour should match.
  • The bezel is: Smooth (domed) bezel.
  • If the case is opened by a watchmaker, the movement is calibre 3230.
  • The serial is eight random characters (watches made from about 2010), engraved on the rehaut at 6 o'clock.
  • This reference has no date window — a 126000 with a date or cyclops lens is not genuine.

How can I check if a Rolex 126000 is stolen?
