·so in the past I have bought a couple nice watches at pawn shops. One being an older omega that was a nice find. The other day I brought a Rolex down to see if they were interested. I didn’t expect to make a deal but before I trade it I’m trying to check a few things out. So the gentleman behind the counter breaks out his loop and says “I think you have a fake Rolex here” now I’ve had this watch verified and it’s a gold watch. I didn’t mean to but I laughed at him. Mind you not in a pompous I know better than you it was an involuntary reaction. Strange thing is I brought it down a month prior and he was very interested and asked me to come back when his watch guy was in. I was a bit perplexed but took my watch and left. Also this watch was bought in the diamond district in NYC. I’m not saying that guarantees anything but competition is tough in the diamond district and these places don’t want to ruin established business’s selling fake watches. You can buy a watch in the diamond district walk 20 feet down the street and try to sell it to check it’s authenticity. Anyway I just found the whole thing funny and was curious if anyone ran into anything like this. By the way it was one of those upscale pawn shops not a junk one.
