How can I know if a Rolex I am buying (ebay etc) is authentic.How can i also know whats a good price (MSRP?)?

What if I buy the watch from a store in town. How do I know what to offer for the watch (brand new) since most stores will negotiate.

You can take the bracelet off to check between the legs for the numbers, one side gives the type nr and the other the production number. Fake Rolexes do not have those numbers, they are lasered in the Rolex factory. Also, the crystal has a crown etched on the 6 oçlock mark on a true Rolex.
Genuine Rolex models will have a "smooth" caseback, and are free of these engravings. If the watch has anything on the back, it is a fake.
