    Hello there.

    Not my sale and not interested in bidding myself.

    But the Rolex in the link below seems like either a cheap real or expensive fake. What do you think?

    Doesn't look right to me. The logo doesn't line up perfectly and the date window doesn't magnify like youd expect. I know 2 fifths of bugger all though...

    ::facepalm2:: If you can't tell if that's fake or not, you shouldn't be considering it.

    That's a really really bad fake. Avoid at all costs.

    I can’t believe twenty-five people have bid it up to $300

    I don't see any issues :0)…..

    …...''I have googled how to change the day, date and time on the Rolex and it all seems to work. However, I DO NOT KNOW IF THE WATCH WORKS. I also do not know if it is genuine! Happy to answer any further questions, if I can''

    No alarm bells ringing for me......

    No way. You’re in it to win it. That thing is unique, I’ve never seen a Rolex like that one before.

    Watch has been delisted.

    This is why you post a picture.

    No way man.... I pulled out my secret weapon... my wife's credit card!

    Its simple: email the dude, offer him stupid money if he sells it to me right now, pay with the wife's card... he delists the watch.

    It has the added bonus of about three months of "the silent treatment", which means I can watch the game in piece without being asked when I'm going to paint the john another gastly colour.

    and I get to show off yet another of my one of a kind, prototype Rolex watches.

    win, win!

    life has been just great since they legalized pot here in Canada...
