Flieger don't think so mate I'm over 7 grand down if this is a fake I will return it. And be posting a new one when sorted out.

Sketchy details not at all it's bought for me as a gift from my girlfriend who can afford these things. She knows she should of checked before walking out the shop but she didn't.
I will sort this out ASAP and be suing the shop.

So keep an eye on the thread so I can prove you wrong.

We're still waiting on which shop sold you this fake. If your gf can afford a DSSD (which is great!) why wouldn't she just go to a Rolex store?

Ok thanks for the rest of the people for clearing this up will get it returned ASAP.
Thanks again

I've no idea why she didn't ... She also bought me a longines which was purchased from another store and does have a warranty card and all the extras and stamps.

I'll be returning the rolex and post a pic up later on.

Sadly, I usually wonder whether these threads are being used as a 'test' of the fake-maker's handiwork. Best not to give out too many pointers on a public forum, lest we educate the wrong people...

(I'm not saying it's definitely the case here, but...)

Then there's that. Sometimes I think we shouldn't even let these types of threads on here because you never know the real intention, and I err on the side that people are bad, yeah I know, sorry, but been burned too many times. No offence op.

I understand where people are coming from here but you have got the wrong idea ...this post was rushed as I'm not using my laptop... And I know how it seems

So once I've sorted this problem out I'll be posting here for the people who have got the wrong idea ... Sorry if it's come across this way.

.... again, you can't sue the shop.

They have no contract with you.

Your girlfriend, she can sue.

Which shop?

Swansea?

Cut him a little slack.

Perhaps it's just one of those crazy situations that happens every few years.

We're all thinking the same thing but let's not rouse a posse yet.

I'm not giving answers because I don't know until I talk to my girlfriend and get all the details.
As I said before ... Keep an eye on this post and I will love to prove you all wrong. I was here for help only and I will be letting my girlfriend return this item.
And will be buying from a store well known here myself in person.

Once I've sorted this problem I'll be back to prove what I have written and I'm not here just to try and pass a fake rolex a real.

all concerns here are justified, could be a ploy to test the fake, could be a legit case.
Im with Paul, lets wait and see what OP comes back to us with.

You said in a post on page 1 (paraphrased) "I paid top dollar for this watch from a Rolex retailer". Did your girl write that post?

Which retailer? What does the warranty card say?

Am sorry to post this, but there's something very fishy about this thread.
The 'Rolex' outer box looks like it had its lining stitched by a blind person , the interior of the box that came with my SubC is simply beautiful.
I'm not enough of an expert when it comes to the minutiae of Rolexes to say what is real or not, but the crude plastic wrapping around the bracelet screams to me that it is not genuine.
I'm in South Wales too and the only AD in Swansea that I'm aware of is Crouch on Oxford Street.
There's no way IMHO that came from a UK AD, they come with a 2 year warranty here ( not sure if that's the same worldwide?) and a legit Rolex would have come with the new credit card-sized plastic warranty card?

Yes, right, the watch may be fake, but notice that the OP pointed himself the flaws, some of them not visible on the photos. Why would he do it if he’s just testing if his fake would pass scrutiny?

Also, we don’t use to see these posters insisting on their case… Usually, they post once or twice, and go away.

When people make these posts, they're hoping either that:

-They fool us to think it's real which makes them happy about their purchase
-They're part of the replica manufacturing business and are relying on us to point out the errors for them to correct.

There is absolutely no chance that his "gf" can afford a real DeepSea and came home with that piece of junk from an "authorized seller".

I bought the same in China last year as a joke for 30 euros. I've thrown it away since.


The one on the left arm is authentic....

I was more amazed that 3 hours after being told it was a POS he was 'Waiting to speak to his Girlfriend' and posting on here. Had my Mrs just blown 9k on a lead weight within 3 hours I would of spoken to her even if she was on the moon.
