These are used watches being sold by a third party.

That is messed up.

Must be a 3rd party seller that slipped through.

Can’t imagine that listing lasting long.

I've seen these over the years at Sam's Club. Weird, but I doubt there is anything legally wrong with it. Anyone can open a store, or start a website and sell used watches.You can buy used Rolex watches on Amazon

If they become an official AD and start selling brand new models, that’s when we need to be concerned.

It's just a marketing app attached to their website that goes to some third party website. Like on Macy's now they sell the same garbage you see on Amazon. Pretty sure "Coofandee" is not a Macy's brand.

Well now that Rolex is a Walmart product maybe the hype will die down a bit.

This is exactly what the most recent lawsuit against Becker Time is about: Rolex says it does not wish having its name on a fake dial even if it's disclosed to the buyer that the dial is not made by Rolex. Becker Time says it's like restoring a classic car: it's still a Chevy even if you restored it with modern non-Chevy parts.

If the lawsuit finds for Rolex, Rolex USA will sue every retailer including this dealer on Walmart -- Walmart might be named in the lawsuit -- that advertises Rolex with non-Rolex dials.

Looks like a repeat of the La Californienne situation around 2019.

It’ll get stopped for sure, one way or the other.

The odd ‘aftermarket’ dial piece by a second hand dealer seems not to attract the attention of the lawyers. If people turn it into a business model then they become a target.

Walmart is not a Rolex AD. It’s a used watch on an open marketplace similar to eBay. Why the confusion?

Fake?

How do you know they are fake?
If you hover over one of those DJ's then select another watch, the dial changes but the bracelet, case, bezel stays the same, they all CGI watches. Do they even exist/fake listing(?) and you may receive a fake watch or a real Rolex in terrible used condition?

I know nothing or Walmart but I would not buy a vintage Rolex that way.

This is happening on Etsy too. I saw a nice SS Sub last week for $190 - What a deal!
