"Given to me and told it was a real Rolex"

I do not think so!

Anyone agree?

The poorly stamped crown isn't even in the middle of the clasp and the less is said about the worn off plating, the better

But JJ,

He said "IT DOES HAVE SOME WEIGHT TO IT, LIKE A REAL ROLEX SHOULD"....If you throw it back to the tosser, he may get hurt!!

Sounds like the old commercial for a cigarrette:

Winston tastes good, like a....cigarrette should!!!

Weight doesn't mean a thing. That watch is a fake DD with a cheap looking Jubilee.....and looks like the cheap fake that it is.

Chuck it in the nearest trash can!!

Ha, Ha...it was removed. Must have gotten caught. His "did alot of research" must have been "the guy I bought it from on the street for ten bucks said it was real."
