Rolex is spelled differently in Iraq

Incredible! I've reported it of course. But you have to hand it to the seller, quite novel!

in case this gets pulled right away, here is what it says:

"This Watch was used once. It was bought in Iraq that is why the name on it is not Rolex because they spell it different then we do. This is a Good deal for this watch and it comes with a silver case. "

That's funny. In America these Rolex Watches are sold on the street corner in New York in someone's coat. They are called Folex watches.

Thanks for the laugh. I turned these in to the E-Bay Gods.

Oh, I don't know. I might have let it go. Anyone who is stupid enough to bid on that piece of sh!t deserves to get taken IMO.
