I could be wrong, but the fact that they use Rolex in the title of their website just seems wrong to me.

I have taken a look at some of their prices and a lot of them seem to good to be true.

Do you know if these prices are in U.S. Dollars?

I could be wrong let see what others have to say.

Looks like the typical scam site. They sell a bunch of stuff, but never actually SHIP!

n:

YM for 3500... Right.

YM2 in solid gols 13.000... Right

When a price has $ in front of the #'s it's usually a hint.

I checked the last 3 names in their client's feedback section and looks like the names matches the city they are live in. Interesting ... Either the buyers are real or a well thought out scam to show real people who never bought a single thing.

Your right, however I just found the prices so low. The phone number on the top right of their web page was located elsewhere so I just wondered.

I think you just came really close to losing a few grand. Never buy any watch from a site like that, go to your local AD or buy from someone who has sold many watches before on a forum.

I don't think he was buying, I think he tried to do a bit of advertise, and get us to buy.

I think the moderators have the ability to see where his IP address originated from to see whether he is really from Canada.

Tidbit: Andrej Shurin seems to have parachuted onto the planet from Pluto.

You seldom see a web TCON who has only 1 hit on Google and other people search engines (and that hit is this registration data).

If you are still unsure this is a site to stay away from compare the pictures between:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-Submar...item19cc4601fa

and

http://www.buy-a-rolex.net/rolex_submariner_blue.htm

Stolen directly from topnotch on ebay. Well the pictures were cropped just a bit....

Not totally convinced. The date and time from both sites are different. Sure is suspiciously similar.

He's pictures are often copied by scammers such as this buy-a-crap-rolex.net...

Probably because that are so good.
