This is such a great story. I hope it all turns out to be true. The fact that MSBNC has picked it up is great for 'Bob'!

Check out the post entitled "Why So Much $$$..."

http://rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=154018


It provides a very interesting read, showing how the entire story unravelled as we all watched it together. Best part of that post is all of the brilliant observations and comments made by our fellow members.

Lots of fun... And something STILL does not feel right...

It's been great fun following this story on TRF and the internets....Some things still don't 100% add up for me, but, I dunno, I'm starting to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

He just doesn't "look" like a scam artist:

Very interesting story and great for him - $66,100 when he was expecting a few bucks.
