Alone that "We do only accept wire transfers" would make me

It always is to good to be true unless you buy from an AD. I work to hard for my MONEY to take that kind of chance.

I doesn't know of anyone who has been taken by these scammers, thankfully.

Their refund process is simple. You must scale Mount Kilimanjaro naked with your watch. That is where their office is. They will refund the purchase price in Venezuelan Bolivars.

That is a scam! I emailed them several times, with no reply. I just went through a 6 week process in buying a used Rolex and please feel free to contact me if you like. The main things are this: Make sure they can provide you with a phone number and address that you can verify and if they dont accept credit cards, STAY AWAY!

opinions
An "a priori" opinion and opinions are legal to give, maybe they are:
(1) Replicas.......(shame on replicas) (2) Stolen |

Learning from us oldtimers
Quote:
This seller has a history that shows up here and on other forums every few months or so from new Rolex fans who happen upon it via an internet search. If you browse the history, you'll find that all of the indicators are this is a totally bogus seller who will likely take your wire transfer and give you nothing in return. Bonafide sellers will be far more willing to disclose return policies and take monies that are more flexable than just pure wire transfers. In addition, you'll learn that NOBODY is giving away new or like new Rolex watches at these kinds of prices. If you're going to play in the major league of watches, you'll have to pay some kind of dues. If you're really in the market for a Rolex, new or preowned, spend a lot more time in research on the net and in seller forums and then browse the online sellers. With proper research, you'll begin to sense which deals are really 'deals' and which ones are priced higher. But there are no out and out steals. You might also try ebay, because occassionally a lesser demand model does slip through, but again, there are certain price points that seldom get breached. |

Oyster David, Great points. A "deal" on a Rolex is usually jusdged by a few hundred bucks, not thousands!

OK, the evidence is on their site. Look closely at the hour hand on the TT Blue Sub. Huge off-center dot in the middle of the "Mercedes star". Possibly, the QC inspector on duty was blind, but more likely, this is a fake.

Well even if the pics are of real Rolex watches, that means nothing! I could post pics of Rolexes all day, that does not mean I have them!

Don't Do It

I then did the smart thing about a week ago and bought from an AD. As others have said - if it sounds to good to be true (and they only take wire transfers) I'd strongly recommend that you stay away. James

If the prices are too good to be true...I would buy a watch immediately before they raise their prices.
Act quick, do it now!!!! Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!

Doesn't the phrase "to good to be true" speak for itself?
Save your money, and once you can afford it then go to an AD or at least someone you know and trust (for instance, many of the regular posters on this forum flip watches like I flip pancakes) and buy your watch. When you finally get that Rolex you're after, you'll feel better than good because it is true.

Its only a steal if you stole it yourself. Hopefully you don't steal. Buy from an AD in your area. Play it safe, I did and always will in the future. You'll never feel like a smuck !! and i am not suggesting that if you buy from a grey dealer you are. You were just one of the lucky ones. If you do buy from a Grey dealer or flea bay, chances are your never going to see your money again. GOOD LUCK

Be smart. Buy from an AD. Establish a relationship with a good company and you will always have an ally in your Rolex adventures. You will get first shot at other watches and will make a friend. Don't try for shortcuts with Rolex or you will lose and have a lot of regrets....and be more out of money in the long run than if you just went to an AD and got your watch.
