that is sad. I don't know if rolex will do anything at all, but you are right to highlight it

if you look under the link for youtube it is full with replicas, red sub etc. all the collectibles.
I hope some one from Rolex is watching to as I sure hope they have a well staffed legal dept. (know what I mean)

I love the statement at the bottom of the home page...

"Important notice:
Do not ask question like How Can I Know if You Are Not Scam. Emails asking this kind of question will not be replied. We take it as insult to us to ask these kind of questions. If you have no trust for us, do not buy from us."

huh??

I think that's the fake...

Notice the polished centre links...the real DSSD has a brushed finish...although very easy to remedy...

Remember you can fool everyone but yourself.


But still....I really wish Rolex would put some efforts into stopping this

if you have never studied the deep sea then sure you might be fooled by the replica..
that however WAS the replica,freeze frame it and bring up some side by sides with the genuine article and you will see the subtle nuances that differentiate the two..you will need to be very observant though...
see what you can tell are the differences and post back..
P.S. you can do the same with the gmtIIc video they have,one thing jumped out at me when I did it...see if you can tell what that was.

I like when the guy took a razor to the crystal. Seemed like a late night infomerical at that moment.
