How do we truly and utterly know for certain?

[Sartana]

(A few questions from a young man who doesn't know any better)
There's my disclaimer so please forgive me don't ban me if i shouldn't have posted this ... But i feel that ya'll are the only ones that can give me the truth


Ok here we go: [url]https://www.solidsw

How in the name of Hans can this even exist?
And IF it does.... How can one verify his/her watch's authenticity before purchase? Especially online ?

Does Rolex or AD offer a line or link with which we can bring serial #s in order to verify where the watch was sold and to whom?
I mean i don't want to have to take my watch to a place like the dmv..
But at the same time i guess i am wanting an official way to prove ownership would anyone agree?

1. We don't discuss fake watches here, so this may be locked soon.
2. There is no way to check the Stolen Database yourself. The only way to check is to send the watch to a RSC and ask for an estimate
3. To be absolutely sure, buy the watch from an AD. Rolex does not want their watches to be sold online.
4. (Ab)using an AD to check accuracy of a watch which has been purchased elsewhere won't make you many friends there.

Don't waste your breath. OP has been told about this more than once in the past. http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...82#post5819882

OP: There are other websites where you can discuss this kind of thing.

The answer to number 4 saying wont make me any friends...
You are saying if the watch is bought from trf then authenticated?

[Sartana]

Im not trying to discuss them but i want to know how or why rolex doesnt shut them down?

He won't give up.

The taboo about this is kind of rediculous
How does one learn about how to handle something if they can't even speak of it?

Yet they can say if a watch is fake?

I am not even trying to troll
But i sure am having success being trolled

You guys are justified in the other thread ...

But here i am not trying to glorify or discuss replicas in anyway


I want to know if this should be reported to Rolex or what?

TRF rules are clear and straightforward. TRF does not support discussions of fakes. These types of discussion always degrade to finger-pointing and name calling or heated discussion where good members end up with infractions or, worse yet, outright bans.

Our position is that you can learn on TRF what an authentic Rolex looks and performs like, and discuss attributes of the real deal. Armed with that information you will know that anything else needs to be questioned.



We're not going to turn the Forum over to the point where every other post becomes "is this real" or where members argue about their position on them.


incidentally, "aftermarket" and "fake" are not the same.. One is a legitimate alternative and the other is an illegal, criminal, activity...

oh
