Why do people hide serial numbers when posting pictures?

Thnx

 

They are unique to each watch. If a someone has a high value watch, an unscrupulous person could claim it was theirs and was stolen.

 

I see, thank you

 

Or fakers could use it and make it harder to spot a fake.

 

Some do some don't, never done it myself.

 

Most people do it because they see others doing it...

 

Thanks, I get the picture

 

Yup, people do it with graded coins as well

 

Yes that was me too. I have since seen the light and shown the number to a couple of the OF threads.
Since I have the original sales receipt and papers (it’s been mine from new) I don’t think anyone is going to try and claim it.

 

well, the thing about those fakes is, they share the fake sn. One of the doctors in the clinic I work for enjoy purchasing fake rolexes and theyve both had the same serial. I do wonder if its an imaginary serial

 

It’s like hiding car license plates in for sale pictures. People do it because they saw someone else do it.

 

This is sad.
