How to Spot a F@ke Rolex ...

I found this today, thought you guys might enjoy it. ;-)

How to Spot a Fake Rolex | productdose.com
"They say there’s a “sucker born every minute” but you're not a sucker if you intentionally know what you’re getting into. On a recent trip to New York City, I knew that Canal Street was the place I could find the not-so-elusive fake Rolex watch. Sure enough, I had to walk only one block of the infamous market district before I was approached by a nervous-looking guy offering what he promised was a “genuine” Rolex time piece.

Discerning shopper that I am (even when in the market for fakes), I declined the gentleman’s offer and continued to peruse the goods offered in the small cluttered shops. A few “designer sunglasses” and hilariously bootlegged copies of current movies later, I ran into another guy promising that he had an “authentic” Rolex watch to sell me. I agreed to take a look at the watch and negotiate."
