Went to a supposed AD

Asked if he had any pre owned for sale, offered me a 1016 and a Tudor stella dial ... asked if everything was original ... "yes, everything is"... NOT!
Didn't know Rolex has bracelets that weigh like 2 grams and TT gold shows metal beneath it sigh.
One of these days I'm gonna make a killing and not money wise

That sucks!

But isn't it nice to be able to tell the difference between the real deal and knock-offs?

Just think of the poor buyers that might buy those crappy fakes (although I am still believe that if you don't do your homework, you ask for being scammed).

If you do make that "killing", this AD would translate as AFTER DEATH!!!

All I ask for is a lil' honesty, this can go a long way imo.
If I would not know what to look for or if he would have been honest I would have bought it, he was only asking 2400 dollar so a good deal imo.
But no, lies ... no buy no matter how sweet of a deal or it would have to be a double red SD :)
