Fake Rolex Warranty Cards
Heads up guys,
I have my TT Bluesy advertised for sale (not on here) I have received a message offering fake Rolex Warranty Cards. The message is as follows. Hi If you ever the lose papers for one of your Rolex watches and need a new warranty card we can help! Genuine blank Rolex Card - printed with your model and serial number + any additional details. It adds a lot of value to the watch!! Takes about 1 week & we have hundreds of happy customers. I have left out the Whatsapp number. I have posted a couple of photos of the cards, I have had to photoshop the photos to remove the watermarked Email address. I posted this already but it disappeared. |

Spot the spelling mistake!
There are some concerted efforts being made to fake all this stuff now....put it with one of the better fake watches and many weaker members of the trade, never mind the naive public, have already been fooled. Amazingly, the former sales rep of a [major brand] was recently caught having managed to shift a bundle of fake APs with fake boxes, booklets etc to jewellers who thought they knew what they were doing. If you'll forgive me linking to this account from earlier in the year : https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=584622

So Rolex Sub from the 80’s with these plastic warranty cards is bad.

I’ve just released a document on “superfakes” for the trade in the U.K. — distribution is being carefully controlled — with a section on exactly these fake cards and genuine ones. With the benefit of real and fake in my possession for a period of testing and examination, I was quickly able to find about a dozen points of obvious difference which will not be easy to overcome - and probably not worth it, if the baddies are already finding enough people are fooled by what they are already producing.
Superfake versions of the professional range have been the story of 2018 here in the U.K. Many of the less experience, informed or careful lost thousands of pounds and I had to write a number of reports on watches they had paid for. At this moment I am assisting two county police forces in on-going cases.....

This is a bit concerning because my international warranty cards look just like that.

I started a similar post this morning having not seen this. They followed me on Instagram.
