Do you even know what “faux” means?
Clearly you don’t understand the semantics of your argument.
You truly put the “grey” in Grey Market.
I simply hope honest Rolex owners don’t get robbed, and if they do, checks and balances such as RSC can get their pieces back.
To those that avoid RSC for the reason they’re worried their watch may come up stolen………………I don’t even know what to say

Nah, I think the gray marketplace is solid overall. I only say faux, because it just seems like a bunch of virtue signaling. Seriously, I really hope you aren’t that upset about some people not wanting to use a RSC for this reason. It’s okay that you are unwilling or unable to see my point.

Glad that you were able to get this issue resolved as well as it possibly could have been.

The gift that keeps on giving :)

Hopefully my last update on this topic. I received a letter from my local police asking me to come to the station and bring my documentation on my Rolex purchase. I printed all the emails to/from the Munich dealer and I was able to find the original Chrono24 ad.

I told the detective how I bought the watch etc. Since it was bought from a dealer, and not a private person, it was easier to show that I did not knowingly purchase a stolen item The file was sent from the Köln police to the Landshut police and now will be sent to the Munich police.

At least the police seems to be investigating the theft. The Munich dealer should have the name of who they bought that watch from, so they can keep moving along the purchase chain.
