a friend of mine bought this watch and is trying to convince me that this is a genuine rolex that he bought from switzerland. I am so angry cause he thinks that i am an idiot

. The serious thing is that he is not kidding at all. The funny thing is that this watch has a quartz movement

My friend is such an idiot

I'm not experienced in spotting fakes, but the watch in this picture don't look right to me.

I know how you feel, I ever had a friend argue with me that the compact disc (yes the audial one) is being read from the top where the decals are and not from the bottom which it actually is. and believe me, idiots like these normally wins the arguement.

i gotta agree with you

You`ll just have to settle for knowing you are right and he`s wrong.
He`ll find out he`s wrong when he attempts to have it serviced

I agree... as long as you've already done your deed in trying to steer him to the right direction.

Actually the hamburger, fries and shake would be a better value.

I've got one that looks just like that, except it doesn't have a quartz movement. And the fonts are all correct on the face and bezel. And the metal doesn't look all screwed up. And the hands are right. And the bracelet isn't cheap looking. And I don't have a GMT bezel on my submariner. And it doesn't say its a yachtmaster, even though it's a submariner.

But otherwise it looks exactly the same.

Yeah, you'd enjoy it a lot better and you wouldn't feel like a dumbass after you got done eating it.

Me too, but even a kick in the ass would be better than paying real money for that thing!

Nice watch. I've never thought Rolex would place the crown not exactly in the middle of the crown guards. Must be a rare beast!

No, I'm serious asking!

ron17402 · 12 August 2007, 12:56 PM

That watch is soooo bad!!!! In so many ways!!!

jac67 · 12 August 2007, 10:34 PM

Oh dear...........................

Look. It's very simple.

Tell your friend to put his money where his mouth is. Tell him to take his watch to an AD, and if it's genuine you'll give him $1,000!

That'll be the quickest $1,000 you'll ever make.

OR

Just ignore him.

John.

Great idea john. I called my friend and we are going to meet to go to an AD. I told him that i will give him 1000 euros if the watch is genuine. If the watch is not genuine he is going to give me 1000 euros. We are going to meet in a 2 hours to go to the AD.
