I stumbled on this site through a google search. I'm not in the market for a site-unseen internet Rolex purchase.

Check the price on a SS Daytona. All of the prices are "too good to be true".

I can't get a good whois from ARIN.

Probably a scam.

I've read somewhere on this site that this is a scam. As you say - "too good to be true"....

This is the thread you are talking about and it was never settled about whether the www.charmingwatches.com is a scam or not. The other place talked about rolex24h.com is definitely a scam site.

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...ingwatches.com

The jury is still out about this place but you might want to call them and ask for some references.

Prices are too low, claim to offer a warranty, and only accept Western Union. SCAM.

You are absolutely correct. I placed a bogus order and came up with the only option is to pay by Western Union.

This is a scam site like the rest of them. One more for the FBI complaint.

They claim to be selling SS Daytonas at 25% off list. If they are legit (extremely unlikely) they are the only ones discounting a watch like that.

Gentlemen do not buy here or buy at your own risk. Anytime they read "Western Union Only" it's a scam.
