Honestly, who cares if he is trying to make a profit on a watch he bought not knowing any better. Now that he does know he has the option of relisting properly or not it's up to the buyer to do the due diligence.

I for one don't care and understand the OP's position. Buyers need to be cautious!

So wait..... It's ok to lie and make false claims in a sales post.... And say the buyer should have done his homework????

Wow.

TAG_TOSSER · 18 December 2014, 04:39 PM

Well here's 2 people in this thread I'll never buy a watch from.
How about all the dishonest people come out in this thread so it makes the hobby of buying vintage easier for everyone?

Wing Zero · 18 December 2014, 04:42 PM

Oh and your mid case is fake as well.
I would run and get your money back ASAP

Lol... I am not trying to sell anything and if you think there are 2 you are sadly mistaken, and vintage buying isn't supposed to be easy. If it was just go to your local jeweler and buy vintage rolex.

It makes me laugh when people expect vintage Rolex buying to be so simple and easy as buying a new Rolex.... Just take John Mayers example and you see it is not for the lazy...

Did I ever say anything vintage was easy? No.
You are defending someone who is trying to take advantage of someone else.

And your reasoning-
"Who cares if he does something wrong, there's already a lot of criminals in this world".

"It was his fault he got robbed officer, he's the one who walked onto the street with money in his pockets".

I guess you look at things different when your an honest person.

Just to be clear. He's trying to get a 100% markup on this watch, not just recoup his loss, and you sympathise?

CMSgt Bo · 18 December 2014, 05:06 PM

Good info guys. Just so you know, we shut down the sales post on WUS.

What ever happened to goodwill toward men during the holidays?

It's not sympathy... Simply the world we live in and I am not going to pretend it doesn't happen.

Very bad analogy. I don't think any "simple minded" person is on WUS trying to buy vintage Rolex. So yes again Buyers need to be aware of what they are buying. Vintage watch buying is a mind field.

Dude u gotta be either drunk or just Bat $hit crazy. Wow

jeep99dad · 18 December 2014, 05:43 PM

Of course buyers should be cautious but that's just not ok. It's not ethical period! Why post something that's on the verge of defending him.
There is right and wrong. This here definiely sits on the "wrong" side of things.
Glad the WUS mod shut it down.

Wing Zero · 18 December 2014, 05:56 PM

Ok so he buys a watch on impulse
Gets burned
Instead of returning it
He tries to dump it for 100% profit and burn someone else

and you defend his actions because ... caveat emptor ?

Pict · 18 December 2014, 06:34 PM

Even more so, as pointed out by WingZero its a fake (long E and space between 1 and 2?) so OP should get his money back from the "reputable" seller as per his 1st post?

It can be a horrible shady world at times!

Vincent65 · 18 December 2014, 07:11 PM

Sorry but that's a mess of junk.

The 'curious watch deal' is that you're now trying to flog it, saying: you 'lost' the oyster bracelet, but you put the jubilee on it (really?) and you're going to toss in a few free straps to sweeten the deal (!) and, it's a mere $8,100, with 'free shipping' (no, surely that will be the $100 - which is what the whole abomination is worth) !! Tragic.

Yep, 'people make mistakes' and you've made a quite a few.

MonBK · 18 December 2014, 07:16 PM

Love this part in his sales ad.

"I lost the original Oyster Band and found a Rolex USA Jubilee Strap to go on instead"

KellyM3 · 18 December 2014, 09:54 PM

Hilarious...gotta love the people who seem so innocent and are innocent watch purchasers yet are able to produce pictures with the case back off, etc.

And know enough detail ie. reference number that the average person would never know...but are babes in the woods about authenticity...

Better yet...OP doesn't know if watch is authentic but posts it for sale and is able to determine mfr date based on serial number...yet here claims it is at his jeweler?

I've got 100% feedback for you but won't say it here...but it begins with a "l" ends with a "r" and has an "I" and "a" between those letters.

SUBversive · 18 December 2014, 10:13 PM

Interesting read ...

Love the gold hands ...

Scam ...

Yes. Drunk...very drunk

and was having fun getting people all wound up... I Apologize for causing a stir, and obviously agree with you all that he shouldn't scam people. However, I still think this thread is good for potential buyers to read and understand that buying vintage is no walk in the park.

Now I need an IV to get rehydrated and a big cup of coffee.

Again... I do apologize for my rambles in my previous posts, but they were all in good (drunk) fun...

That case doesn't look good

swish77 · 18 December 2014, 11:00 PM

Wow, that's a horrible fake Sub. We all know that buying vintage Rolexes can be tricky, but 2 minutes on Google would tell you that the watch was all wrong. The original story about the jeweler doesn't sound legit at all. Interesting read. Depressing, too.
