Blurb in Delta Airlines Magazine

During my flights back from Puerto Rico yesterday, I was perusing the Delta in-flight magazine when I stumbled upon this little article.

Not very much information on fake-spotting, but a start and warning to potential buyers:

How funny.....of course they forgot to mention that all of those things could appear legit while the movement is fake!

Great find. I question the comment about the bracelet though.

I agree! John Brozek goes into great detail on the subject in his book "The Rolex Report"

That is why I only buy from a trusted source or AD

Yes, while the highest value is in the watch (head/movement), not having an original Rolex bracelet/strap will significantly reduce its value compared to one that is complete.
