You'll love this

While looking around on the web this afternoon, I went to the rip-off report webpage, punched Rolex in the search, and I could not believe it.... people are posting how they got ripped off, by purchasing FAKE Rolex's.

Have a look

His Faulex that was supposed to be a "good quality" fake Rolex was in fact what he calls a low quality Japanese (no offence here; Seiko, Citizen and many others make some of the best watches in the world from the ground up) watch that's so bad, he intends to have his attorney persue the sale as bad faith?

Don't civil lawsuits usually cost the defendant more than $650.00? Which is what he knowingly paid for a fake? And isn't this the same logic as the mutant who goes to the coppers to complain that the dope he just bought is baking soda?

Some other people's children...............................

They knew they were buying fakes and received fakes. What is their basis to complain?

That is hilarious.

Someone in Annapolis once filed a police report about a break-in. He reported several ounces of marijuana stolen, a well as some tools and CD's.

I think he should take legal action, that way he can pay out of his pocket to bust a counterfeit operation and they can both get stung! What an idiot!

It is incredible that people are sucked into to buying fake (criminally manufactured and sold) items (of inferior or poor quality) in the belief or assumption that they have a strong basis for legal redress when the whole deal goes pear shaped.

Hi Lane,

Yes, it's the 1098 Tricolour.

Any excuse for a pix.

1st bike I have owned in 20 years that has a pillion seat - so took my daughter Laura for her first scare.

I must be getting old - she enjoyed it.

It has a GMT clock.

That is absolutely BEAUTIFUL
I think that is the best looking Ducati I have ever seen, bar none! (and I loved the Senna 916's!)
Congrats on the great bike! I'll keep a look out if you ever ride through my neck of the woods.
Sorry for the diversion, back to ROLEX!

Let me see if I have this right. He thought he was buying a fake, but got stuck with a counterfeit fake?
