Buy from one of the established reputable sellers here on the forum. You won't have to worry about being scammed or receiving a fake piece.

Stay away.
Good eyes!

Why not consider the trusted sellers on here? There are plenty of good reviews for you to run on.

The listing says the watch is in AR and his phone # is from LA , another red flag.

I'm a watch enthusiast, not an expert, but buy the seller. There are MANY iron-clad sellers that you can contact through this forum. Good luck!

hey guys, i’ve dealt with jorel vasco in the past. once i saw his name on this thread i contacted him immediately.. just got done speaking with him, he’s out of the watch selling business now. this is definitely a case of identity theft..
his number is 786-486-5997

Hello all, I'm new to this forum but have enjoyed visiting it many times. Any time I google a question about Rolex, this forum pops up on the first page.

Anyway, I googled the name Jorel Vasco because he has a CL ad in NJ for a green Submariner that appears to be extremely cheap. (I can't post a link because I don't have 10 posts yet., but search Rolex on Jersey shore CL if you want to see it.)

The watch is awfully cheap. And I thought it odd that he advertises in NJ while his area code came back to California.

Anyway, great forum! Hope I can contribute. I am becoming a Rolex enthusiast and love reading the posts here.

He just posted an LV on CL @ $3500 with some of the same pics, lol:

He's probably spamming several CL's across the country as well.

That is just the angle of the pictures, as already explained.
It has 3 dots - even the fakes have that.

Look again

Piece of mind to just go to AD. Yes , maybe a little more than preowned but recently I had had better luck with lower prices at AD vs grey 1-3 year old watches.
