Beware *TIME MERCHANTS* (SCAM ARTIST)

[Essthetix]

I've never written a negative review, but the audacity of TIME MERCHANTS to use fake papers with fake case engravings compels me to.

That's Time Merchants from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I have firsthand knowledge that this scammer recently gained access to an engraving machine and has been engraving fake serial numbers on cases.

Check out this "Rolex GMT 1675 4.29Mill Serial Case with Papers"

First off, the code "4084" at the top of the papers references a Cellini. A simple Google search will tell you this.

Second, the first digit of the serial number is "4". It's obvious that his engraver messed this number up. Look at the photo of the serial. Is that an "8"? Maybe a "6"? Haha, definitely not a "4"!

And then there's that red stamp at the bottom of the papers, "SUPPLIED WITH LEATHER STRAP."

Oh reaaaaaaaally?!

This GMT was supplied with a leather strap, huh? Crocodile skin, maybe? (Or was a it a Cellini? LOL)

I'm no poet, but if I were, I'd write something like this:

Rose are RED,
Violets are BLUE,
CHRISTIAN FATU,
SHAME ON YOU!!!

Hello, instead of saying stuff about 1 item sold on ebay, I have over 5000 items sold with great success. That watch came to me as you see and many local watches have been mismatched with papers from other watches in the past, from local AD's from the 60's and 70's. I have lately owned a rare 6263 with a paper that was from an other watch but it was part of its story, from the original owner. If it is not acceptable on your end fine by me but I am NOT a scammer nor can you drag my name in the dust for that. It is pure slander and will not accept this. I have a true business with a store that you can visit at any time and have had a lot of good exchanges with well known collectors from the US. It is easy to claim stuff when I am not there to protect myself. Also you cannot use my name on this platform to scrap what I have built for 20 years mainly as a collector.
