Some silly person actually won this poor quality replica with a bid of US$711.00. Worth no more than $10 is it worth emailing the winner (ernhart43)that no one should be so stupid?

The date font displaying '6' belongs to a vintage and stands out like a sore thumb on a modern Rolex! This should be the giveaway ithat it's a fake.

I sent a message to the winning bidder through ebay out of my care and concern. Did any of you do so? I only hope that s/he has not paid the $711.00 through paypal. If payment was made, the buyer should hopefully have the support of ebay and paypal.

On some level I feel for whoever got scammed, but on another level...that's a bit of Natural selection, and whoever could fall for this doesn't deserve to wear a Rolex.

I mean come on!..."I don't know if it's real or not"..."but it says 'Rolex' on the dial!"


no one could be that stupid...

We all make mistakes. you would not want to be ripped off and some people are just plain too trusting. I believe I am my brother's keeper. I report this kind of stuff all the time to keep people from losing their hard earned money.
