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.

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

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.

IMHO I do not think this watch belonged to the king of pop.Its my opinion.Why doesn't the seller provide a letter of authenticity from the person or store that acquired this from MJ? If it where his personal watch he would have given something with those warranty papers to the buyer.Famous people know there stuff when attached with there name commands more money.They either have an agent sell the watch with NO association to them or Provide letters maybe a pic etc all for a fee to the buyer.Folks its all to funny.MJ fever is hot right now and this isnt marketed like its real. Do you think it is a real Rolex Submariner?

X 2

Judging by the other purchases this Ebay member has recently acquired I would say that whole watch could be a big mix of parts IMO..!
