Doesn't Take long

The crooks sure figure out how to copy things quickly. Look at the Maxi Dial on this gold Sub.........

And they want payment to Western Union. That is the best part.



Then they don´t sell to some country, maybe I should
move to Indonesia to be safe from that crap.

Hello buddy,

Well yes he is a french, but most of the crappy Rolex in the world don't come from here ok ?

I guess much more are coming from the USA.

Please do not categorise people.

thanks / Pierre, FRENCH

I think most of the Folex come out of Asia. I see them everywhere I go over here.
People buy them on vacation and bring them home and sell them......

Its funny how they dont accept payment from China..........only the watches

I sent the guy an email telling him to pull that POS off ebay and he sent me one back in French. I speak and read french........he is a text book crook.

He called me an "idiot american". I had to break the bad news to him I was Canadian

These crooks have Balls......I am just amazed ebay doesnt do more to protect their customers.

I actually did send him back an answer in french. I think it surprised him. But really this guy could be from anywhere......

I may email the winner and tell him he got scammed.

What a moron: the fake he's selling doesn't even look like the artwork he scanned from the Rolex book. LLOOOOOOOSEERRRR! Unless someone actually buys it. BTW- I reported it, too.
