Common questions
Before you ask.
When was the Rolex 16570 produced?
The 16570 was produced from 1989 to 2011.
What movement does the Rolex 16570 use?
The Rolex 16570 runs the Cal. 3185 / 3186, an automatic movement.
How do I check a Rolex 16570 with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
