Could be legal , Michael Jackson was a big fan of rolex , of course this would have to be authenticated before purchase

How hard is it to fill in a blank warranty card with a name and address?

Hey, i think i have a Timex from Elvis! cause i filled in the warranty card with his name and his Graceland address. Over here you have one from JFK and here is one from the queen or England.

It sounds like the scene from Seinfield :


Opening scene - George looking at cars at a used car lot, checking out an '89 Volvo.

CAR SALESMAN: George, are you sure I can't show you any other cars?

GEORGE: I don't think so, Vic. I've done my homework. '89 Volvo, that's the car for me, it's the one I want.

SALESMAN: I got a LeBaron convertible right here.

GEORGE (chuckles): N.I. Not interested.

SALESMAN: It's got a few more miles on it, but the previous owner was John Voight.

Yes, and there was a pencil in the glove compatment with TEETH marks in it... so they tright to get JV to BITE something and match them. I think he eventually bit George!!!

Maybe the watch has some left over body fluids with "DNA"??? Like the dress Monica wore?

Mods, I think this thread can only get lower from here....

Unless it had Michael Jackson's signature on the warranty and was otherwise authenticated 100% how could you ever be sure or prove to others that this was in actual fact a watch owned by Michael Jackson.

if the info can be athenticated that watch is worth a pretty penny. I bet that it cant be authenticated 100%, only asumptions can be made

200% money back guaranteed!

I sent hime Email and this is what I got back:

I can tell you that the address was definately verified and that everything is absolutely genuine. If what I say is not accurate, you can have a 200% refund. We verified the address with numerous sources. If you were to win this auction I will disclose how we verified and with whom.


Now, I'm convinced

Interesting that not long before offering this watch, he purchased a LV Sub case, bezel, and crystal. Hmmmmm????

And papers can be created with ease.
