LUX-24 Is this for real

I came across this site in my travels. It adversises genuine Rolex watches for incredible prices. I have always subscribed to the theory " If it's too good to be true it is".

I'd really be interested in the feedback this generates.

Heres the site: http://www.lux-24.com/about_us.html

Places like that are for suckers, stay away or get burned. I am suprised you even have to ask, let's face it, if it sounds to good to be true, it is.

this site or a variation of Lux-24 has been discussed before. It is a scam. Remember the wise words.........if it seems too good to be true............

I DO know better and believe me, I had absolutely no intention of buying a watch from them. I was hoping to hear from someone who may have had a little more direct knowledge of them.

What I don't understand is how they continue to do business if they are scam artist. That's the part I really don't get.

Thanks. I probably should have done a search first. But as the previous poster mentioned "I'm surprised you even have to ask". Which is why I thought nobody else had ever posted on them.

FAKE
Its been mentioned before.

As a wise man here told me years ago, buy the seller not the watch.

If it smells fishy, it usually is.

When I was first looking for a Rolex (about 2 years ago) I ran into a site like this (almost the exact same layout.) They had pictures of a SubDate as well as many other watches. I did happen to get through to one and everything had hoax written all over it.
