Less than $500,000.00 for 47 Rolexes? That's barely $10,000 each.

Maybe I should go watch shopping in San Juan...

No, the article says "$500,000 worth of luxury watches", not five hundred thousand ..

worth of Rolexes. Of all of the watches, forty-seven of them were of the Rolex brand.

Actually, no. Bared is the one of the 3 ONLY AD'S here, but Here REAL Rolexes are selling quickly. My cousin works at one of the AD's and she says that every day she has sold at least, 3 Rolexes in the last 2 months! Here in Puerto Rico the only way to buy fake Rolexes is by internet!

I went to high school with the two sons of the owners (Bared family). I remember a

lot of shiny gold ....

$60 was the going rate back in the 80s ..... Ya gitta account for inflation, my friend.
