Fake Grinding Machine

[Arturo]

A colleague of mine used to represent a client that manufactured a grinder that would actually grind up guns into metal flakes. There is lore of what Rolex does to fakes that get sent to them to service. Do you think they have a fake Rolex grinder there? I would like to see it.

I mean, I bet they have fun tossing those fakes into the grinder.

My post was a dud, but it was really an important question in my little mind. This grinder that my colleagues client manufactured wa the subject of years of litigation, and the rights to use it were challenged. But it was a fascinating device and could literally grind a pistol to metal dust in seconds.

Do you guys think that Rolex destroys the fakes or puts them into some kind of research department to study them so that they can go after the bad fake makers?

I guess if a fake did come into the possession of any Rolex authority, it would be destroyed.

I know for a fact that when Rolex watches are serviced, the used and replaced parts are thrown into a crusher and destroyed for obvious reasons....so that they don't inadvertently fall into the wrong hands.
