Not true.
Read post #87.
Absolutely a “Trusted Seller” who has been mentioned here sold a materially misrepresented a watch. They ultimately made it right after some weeks of communication but it still happened.
You buy from them and trust them, fine. But some of these “Trusted Sellers” are unwittingly selling fake watches. People will realize it when they send them in for service in 5-7 years. By then, their options for some measure of damages will be challenged or limited and that’s unfortunate.
The person above who said the “buy the seller” contingent is dangerous is absolutely right. The “buy the seller” crowd is an echo chamber that convinces people to be relaxed in their due diligence of the actual watch and their need to have it independently inspected at purchase.
The “Trusted Sellers” selling fakes is likely not a common occurrence - probably very very infrequently actually, but it’s happening. And it’s putting fake Rolex’ into the stream of commerce with an imprimatur of authenticity.
