3890$ for a GMT II C? That's the lowest price i've ever seen for a brand new GMT II C.

Prices are way too low check the price for a new white gold daytona

There is something wrong there

A History of Rolex Watches
Rolex Co appeared to become the leader among the manufacturers of watches. Today there is no person who have never heard about Swiss Rolex brand. The words "prestige", �the Swiss watches� and �the most qualitative watches� are associated with the brand name of Rolex.

The history of Rolex company started from 1908. Almost immediately it became famous. In 1910, after Rolex was introduced to the world every manufacturer wanted to get Rolex certificate because that means not only prestige, but also recognition of exclusive quality.

Rolex made a revolution in the world of watches. In 1914, Rolex Company moved from Great Britain to Switzerland and settled down in Bill city. Within short period of time Rolex purchased additional factory in Geneva. Today all Rolex watches are manufactured in Bill and Geneva only.

Oyster model (the first waterproof watch in the world) was made twelve years later. Special structure of the frame made Rolex Oyster totally waterproof.

There is about 10 million Rolex wathces was produced and it becomes very difficult to recognize fake unauthentic models. This is why Rolex Company fight with fakes for many years. There is a story about Belgium man who wore a counterfeit Rolex and has been arrested with sentence to 6 month in prison.

Rolex watches by right are reputed as the most prestigious watches. It is a symbol of success and only several people could deserve this reputation. The plenty of gold is used during manufacturing. The case of man's gold watch Rolex has 40 grammes of that prestigious metal. Female watches has only 8 gram of gold. Besides that, popular Rolex watches are in the top of lead by quality of gold that used in watch bracelet.

If the spelling and grammar is anything to go by I would pass but remember as they state in their Money Back Guarantee you have no worries b/c "If you think that some part or whole ROLEX watch is not authentic and can prove it documentally by expert conclusion" you are covered.

One place to start is here:
Accepted Payments

* Wire Transfer
* MoneyGram
* Western Union
* Money Order
* Cashiers check

One your money is sent, it is gone. Western Union is the scammers' choice way of getting funds.

If you're going to scam someone you should list the actual prices instead of thousand's of dollars cheaper. Arouses suspicion right away. What a Loser! This guy should get a job. He cannot even write correct sentences.

L-O-S-E-R!!!!!!

swiss-luxury.net just a reskinned scam site

I knew this site looked odd.

Maybe it was the WG President with the Platinum only dial. Or that the prices were just too good.

Hopefully others do a google search before sending their money to this Russian site.

btw, his whois is trying to show that he's in London, but he's still in Russia:

It seems that the scam site probably took the pictures from sant blanc :

http://cgi.ebay.com/MENS-Rolex-DIAMO...item3a4c19e6b2

compare my link to the picture of the Scam site posted above
Then all the texts are also stolen from others as well:
the SCAM : http://www.swiss-luxury.net/rolex-history.htm
now, here is from where the text comes from:
http://www.cameranaked.com/Rolex-VintageRolex.htm

Let s advertise them again: www.swiss-luxury.net NO NO NO - IT S A SCAM SITE !!!
Any cop around here?
