Called someone out for having a fake rolex
Well I'm in college and was drunk at a college bar.... I was talking to a group of people and when i was talking to him personally I asked if it was fake (or something like that).
Long story short that was a **shole move that I've never done but was drunk, he made a scene out of it. - Not a asshole, but I guess you shouldn't ask someone in college if they have a fake watch..... The main thing that make me realize it was fake was the weight, the head or case of it was heavy and band was so much lighter I would say at-least a 3:1 Ratio. Usually genuine watches have a somewhat equal weight distribution feel I've owned genuine Breitling Chronomat Evolutions for 2 years, not a rolex but you don't feel all the weight in the case. Can someone tell me if this is true for rolexes? Can someone confirm? It was a GMT wit the blue and red bezel. |

Maybe you're assuming it's fake because you think college students can't possibly own a real rolex?

Translated: I have a fake Rolex that I'm thinking of selling on CL. I'm worried that the light weight will give it away. Is it true that the fakes do not weigh as much as a genuine Rolex?
Thanks for all your help. ![]()

I call people out for wearing a fake Rolex, but only when I'm 100% sure... I.e. when I can see it from 100 feet away :)

Ive owned both Breitling and Rolex. The two are completely different. And what makes you think you are qualified to make the judgement? If someone did that to me, i would probably just roll my eyes and walk away, knowing that you dont have a clue, and your a drunken idiot. But if that happened to me 10 years ago, you would most likely have seen a close up of my palms across your face.

Hello?
Looks like the OP is one and out..Or laying in the street somewhere at the hands of a fake Rolex wearer.

I never call out anyone on his watch.
I tell everyone he has a nice watch, even if it's blatantly counterfeit. For your information though, the hollow-link bracelets can make a Rolex seem head-heavy, although before now, I've not given it much thought.
