Free Deepsea offer, scam?

Received an email looking to be from TRF offering free Deepsea.
Did others get it? I did not open it
Scam/phishing?

Got the same email. After I win, I'll be glad to show it to you at a meet and greet. Good luck.

Good question I got the same email.

Now I am getting private messages. Not sure what is going on but I am not opening anything, even if I cared about the give away.

It’s real. I promise. As stated in the email, head over to the After Dark sub forum for info.

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=657539

And yes, the above link is real. And if you’re still suspicious go over to the sub forum yourself.

Yeah, I don't know; this all makes me very uncomfortable, and I did not open the link received in my email.

Perhaps I am just too paranoid?

The link posted above -- there is an awful LOT of "READ THIS CAREFULLY" posted over and over again. Makes for a LOT of pressure leading to suspicion.

I think I will not get involved, and I really don't want the watch nor to have to flip it.

Good Luck to everyone!

The biggest problem is always the prospect of over-subscription and bad feeling having not been successful in inclusion in the giveaway.

Steve seems to manage it extraordinary well, better than I would.
