Wow, it's really true about the fake watches most of the times being handed down by a Grandfather. So many similar threads like this! It's comical really! Lol!

The real problem is all these Grandfathers defrauding their families by handing down counterfeit watches!!

We must put an end to the tyranny!!!

99% of grandfather story equates to a fake :)

Once I read grandfather, then i knew it was fake :)

I'm sure you can find plenty of fake ones in Asia for cheap and looks better :)

Plated base metal crown. Awful 'stone' mounting + grandfather story => FAKE

Wanna hear my grandfather story? He never gave me any Rolexes. This one is a true story.

Looks like a prerequisite to be a grandfather is to have a fake Rolex these days. :))

All of these fake Grandpa watch threads make me wonder how I keep my Rolexes real, for when they are to be handed down to my grandchildren? Is there anything I can do now?

Nothing you can do, sorry. Avoid the embarrassment and send to me. I'm a sucker for a good fake.

Give them to your wife and then she can hand them down to your Grandchildren. I haven't ran across any Grandmothers handing down fake watches threads. Problem solved!

Familiar with the term Dad Joke?

Well that is pretty much a GRAND DAD JOKE.

A few months ago someone posted a real Rolex that was bequeathed to him by his grandfather.

It may have been the only one in forum history.
