A public watch report this week touches the same ground as the Rolex Submariner. The useful question on a used piece is what to inspect, not the news line itself.
This note is about a used Rolex Submariner. The rotating bezel pip should meet the 12 marker, and the insert should not rock under a fingertip. The model page is Rolex Submariner.
What people change
On the movement, look at the balance, the rotor, and the hands. The hands should pass each other, and the seconds hand should keep a steady pace. That part is written up in the movement note.
Bracelet end links, the case and crystal, and the movement are the three places a later change shows. Name what you can see. A polished lug, a cloudy crystal, or a hand that does not match the luminous plots is a part note. It does not identify who made the watch, and it does not set a price.
