Hi All - been reading this forum for a while now and it is a fantastic source of info. A friend of mine gave me this Rolex and I don't think it is real, but thought I'd post a few photos here to get your opinions. Let me know what other information or photos would be helpful if needed. I don't have a box or any paperwork. Pics are here and thanks for your help. I'm a newbie, first post, so thanks for your patience as well.

The first thing to do when presented with a "Rolex" with a date function is to manually advance the hands to see if the date jumps quickly with a an audible snap about midnight.

Listen to the watch, feel the watch and hardware that way only a "Frankin" watch should fool one. Or perhaps a fake that would cost as much as a genuine Omega to make.

Awesome ................ Two great pictures to add to the Watch Out folder.

So how are you going to give it back to him now?
And tell him it is a fake?
He probably knows.

Will the o/p be back ? Or, was this a drive by thread ?

Safetrends · 5 April 2010, 08:07 AM

The End

SubKing · 5 April 2010, 09:48 AM

the clasp is junk, the crown is too big, the pearl on the insert is all wrong the sel links are not crisp, the engravings inside the bracelet are cheap and not sharp as well..

erinobr2000 · 5 April 2010, 01:43 PM

No I'm back - it's Easter so family duties called. I'm going to confront him on it. No drive-by thread here as I'm interested in the Sub history and want to actually have a real one soon.

MikeyTX · 5 April 2010, 01:47 PM

Awesome ! It's just that we see so many "ask and run" threads that we get leery after a bit.

erinobr2000 · 5 April 2010, 01:52 PM

No worries, the various fecal pictures are worth the price of admission...

Safetrends · 5 April 2010, 01:54 PM

Crap could not scare this one away, we will have to try harder.

You have no idea how hard bones and I have to search the web for some of our better works of art.

erinobr2000 · 5 April 2010, 03:24 PM

:-) I need to stop entering "boobs" or "wild latinas" in my google image search and start running "huge turds" or "guy with fake sand crap" instead? that's paradigm shift my friends. cats are sleeping with dogs.

After hanging around this place, your outlook becomes quite perverse.
