Beware *TIME MERCHANTS* (eBay - GMT scam!!!)

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!!!
