Can you imagine if you read "Custom Chinese Made Case" on a Rolex listing? In my opinion there's no difference from using a fake case made in GZ and passing it off as a Rolex....heck the Chinese one's nowadays are probably better than you can source from anywhere in Italy.

his previous post

"number 1 you guys are dingles, number 2 i work for the company that produces these clocks, rolex pays us to make them but they are not made by rolex. Why do you think you see a rolex clock hanging in ADs? rolex did not make them! this clock is in no way fake and actually priced to sell at $1500 dollars. not to mention did you guys look at this sellers feedback at all? he obviously knows his stuff about rolex, next time you report someone because you are experts make sure you know about what your talking about."

lol his last sentence makes me chuckle

To be honest, im not too fussed about after market bezels/bracelets if they do not bear the brand/logo of a trademark. however, having such a large majority of the parts to be aftermarket, and calling it a rolex with a ref #. thats not right!

Since I started this I feel I should chip in, I 100% agree with micheal and nikos, a fake case does not have a rolex reference number, it's not a rolex, if it does it counterfeit and illegal to sell, if you throw a rolex movement in a fake case, and a counterfeit band (we can all see the rolex markings although they were not displayed prominently) in the photos it's not a rolex. I have a feeling we are not dealing with the real global time here anyway.

He also sold a red sub with a fake dial (obvious fake, L not lined up with cornet). Also, I highly doubt he's 15 or 16....

If I read his info right, he has been collecting since he was 15, not that he is 15

If you look at his account postings he said he was 16 not 15. I don't remember what year it was though so he might be 18 now or some crap.

Jordan, the watch is 100% counterfeit. It is not even a genuine case, and as everyone knows, a genuine Rolex should have a genuine case. Because you disclosed the case as aftermarket does not change the fact that this is a cobbled together watch using Rolex parts. That does not, by any stretch of the imagination, make it a Rolex. Sorry.

I'm sure he wont be starving for the next 6 months only being able to sell 15 watches a month? I have been using Ebay along time and have never heard of a restriction like this. Don't they just suspend you account? Sounds like a TROLL.

Yes, but in a post on trf that's linked to further up the page, he states he is 15 and then 16. So he can only be 16 ish now. http://50.30.33.71/~trfcom/showthrea...50#post2660250

There is IMHO nothing wrong with aftermarket parts counterfeit or fake is another story.

Please tell us in your words (As a professional dealer) what is a watch that you described with a CUSTOM ITALIAN MADE CASE, CUSTOM ITALIAN MADE BRACELET, AFTERMARKET DIAMOND BEZEL, is this an authentic Rolex? Of course its not its a wacth that was made to look like a Rolex but it isnt.Some people call these watches fake or counterfeit and if you take it to Rolex they will most likely confiscate it. If you still think it is not a fake please explain to us how it is an authentic Rolex. When did Rolex make cases and bracelets in Italy? The only thing that I noticed based on your pictures and description was maybe the dial was authentic. There was no mention of movement type or pictures but just because a kit car has a Chevy engine doesn't make it a Chevy does it? We are all here to learn and maybe you being the reputable dealer that you are can teach us something? I don't think anybody wanted to kill your business. Can you imagine though if somebody would have bought this watch thinking it was an authentic Rolex with hard earned money based on your reputation and latter found out it was a fake? Maybe it would have put them in the poor house.

i agree but the watch is not fake IMO, it does have an aftermarket case and band and i did go and edit the listing from a rolex submariner 16618 to just a submariner, the parts were solid 18K and the heart of the watch was a 3135 caliber movement and the dial of the watch was factory, and i did MELT THE WATCH DOWN, so it no longer exists i just have the bezel and movement. alls im asking is for everyone to stop trash talking my account, let my feedback speak for itself, its rather impressive. anyways thanks for hearing me out.

RE: The Rolex "clocks" - I thought that eBay user ID looked familar.

So, if you are "done selling" aftermarket/counterfeit parts, does that mean you are you going to cancel your current auctions for those "President" bracelets as well?

Nobody is trash taking your account that I see. Anybody who buys and sells more than 50 watches is bound to make a mistake. Its when they don't admit to it that people label them as something other than reputable. Since you have stated numerous times that you are a reputable dealer and the watch in question is not fake. Will you say that it is an AUTHENTIC ROLEX WATCH produced by Rolex? If you cannot say this...... it is a fake or counterfeit watch made to fool somebody into thinking it is a real Rolex. The fact that you continue to say its not a FAKE Rolex say it all

I have been seeing this same crappy watch on Ebay for over a month. Maybe it was returned since it is fake. Why would you ask so much money for it? I doubt you melted it. I don't think that fits into you M.O.

I make an honest living. I have to deal with the negativity of the pawn shop stigma. You on the other hand are making a bad reputation for yourself. Blame yourself not the members here. They only want to help the less informed to not be scammed. Their intentions are honest and much appreciated. Just look what happened they got a fake solid gold replica off of ebay. Any consequence you suffer is of your own doing.

I have seen fakes like this.
You can read about one here.

Shame as you had a good chance on a reputable Rolex forum to clear it up and instead insist its not a fake and that you are just trying to make a living.(A living from somebody's misfortune?) Who in the future would trust you to buy a Rolex when you don't even admit when caught trying to sell a fake that it was a fake and that it was a mistake?

As another forum member said: You on the other hand are making a bad reputation for yourself. Blame yourself not the members here. They only want to help the less informed to not be scammed.

I BET YOURS HAD serial numbers and case back stamps also.
that makes it fake.
not a homage but fake used to fool people and rip them off for hard earned money.
It would have been nice to pass it off as real huh? If some one had hit BIN and paid you wouldn't have ever mentioned a thing to them about all the hallmarks being put there by a third party.

I bet they wouldn't have know anything till they tried to have it serviced. And even then if it wasn't Rolex doing the work they still might have not found out.

its not fake!!! and i did melt it, i got exactly 5k for the case and bracelet, and i was not asking that much for it, the scrap of case and bracelet was 5k, the movement is worth a solid 2k and the bezel has good stones and is worth about another 2k, exactly what i was asking for the watch. as far as me making a bad reputation for myself i would disagree, my reputation is great, i tried to sell one watch that had aftermarket parts and thousands more all factory and for the one watch im giving myself a bad reputation?????
