mens rolex president, white gold, 15 carats of diamonds

This seems suspicious to me.

I am not even remotely interested in this watch or any other watch I post about on this section.

I promise.

I will only buy through AD's and well known,TRUSTED sellers here on TRF.

I want to help disable some of these fakes and scammers, and I am hoping someone can tell me if this is one of them.

This is my first real try at finding a few of these and trying to get them taken down. I believe this one is not legitimate, but no one has given me a definitive on that yet. Even if this one should be taken down, I'm not sure how to deal with the ebay listings yet.

I'm not going to give an opinion on the watch...Other than to say I think it is probably real. I doubt the seller owns the watch and would bet a week in the sweat lodge the photo is stolen. The real crime is that someone would do something like that to a watch...in Texas they would get Lethal injection with me and Mikey pushing the plunger. Seller has "0" feedback, so you would have a better chance of buying a watch from a street vendor in NYC. You can report your concerns (if legitimate) by looking on the right side of the listing and hitting the report listing button. Basically if any idiot would buy this watch all considered, their next trip should be to the looney bin...just my opinion.

Hey no problem with that opinion as far as I'm concerned.
I might like a little bling, but ONLY if it came from ROLEX with the bling already on it.


FWIW---Even before I started reading this forum, I couldn't imagine taking such a huge risk with these listings.

So, you're saying that it wasn't a legitimate sale, just staged?

I have so much to learn.

That number DID seem far fetched to me.... Granted they are all smaller ones, but still...
