Why is this thread still rolling? Or am I the only soldier out of step?

And also why I respect the mods for looking out for the scumbags who are looking for ways to improve counterfeits. Common sense seems to indicate someone new and/or with very little contribution to the forum, looking for specific reasons why a watch is fake, is up to no good.

Thank you to the mods for taking out the garbage and weeding them out.

These Papers were rolled-punched by dealers typically in Texas during the early 70s, not fake.

Well, some Vietnamese syndicateS are infamous for doing these goddamn trades, supplying fake caseA with real papers to watch shops who peddled them to “buy the shop” clueless buyers.

Exactly, you can always get more money. Anybody here says they haven't lost money before is lying.

Strange I missed this thread for so long. Anyway, first glance before seeing any other posts, it all looks off to me, except maybe the movement.

people ask for photos of my ID all the time on transactions over $1,000. never seen a problem with it myself. granted i've been flipping jewelry, watches and collectibles since I was in middle school so people are generally skeptical of purchasing luxury goods from someone so young.
