"Rolex Daytona great condition. - $600

I don't know much about this watch as far as what it's worth, it looks pretty much like new, it's probably around 1000-2000 brand new.. It's in excellent working condition, beautiful, and clean. I'm really not that into wearing wrist watches, I normally use my cell phone to tell the time when needed. It was given to me by someone who recently passed away. No scam artist please, I will not take a fake check only cash in person.

all or text only emails will not be answered."

The OP purchased a Rolex Daytona, based on the ad. That the watch is fake is due to fraud by the seller.

The purchaser certainly has recourse through the legal system whether the seller misrepresented the watch purposely or not.

If the coppers set up a sting to buy a second watch (if a second watch were to exist), then the seller could claim ignorance and make restitution to the OP.

Otherwise, the only recourse is to set up a meeting through a friend, and to take along a .45, but that opens up a plethora of potential problems . . .
