This is scary>>>>>
Before they say open up a Rolex and look for the red
wheel. If you find it, it´s real. Here is the last ETA´s in the Swiss fakes. Scary. Jocke

Me too, just think if JJ forget his loupe (god forgive) at home
next time he went to the dealer for his next flip. And come home with that POS, then you need to get a server upgrade here for the heavy trafficing. Jocke

yes scary indeed. What's even more scary is when the seller tells you
that next week he will have submariner for you, with alarm! |

Now JJ and Bo will both be taking their case openers to their AD's when they go looking for their next real/fake
I think Bo's new GMTIIC has a red wheel - Oh no |

Jeez, the SOB's, they're getting too clever by half. Its things like this that makes me feel better about being a strictly "AD only" man.

I suppose it´s a old Rhula movement in his GMTIIC with paper gears.
So it stops when he take it to the shower and starts again when it´s dry. Jocke

Next step is they go further and copy a Rolex movement
when they have done this. So maybe in 5 years we all have to be experts to deal with used Rolex´s. Time will tell. Jocke

So let me get this straight... They went to all the trouble to get red gears, but they also went to all the trouble to engrave stuff on the rotor, which rolex doesn't do... (and the shock absorber slots are wrong).

If you deal only with AD's then you are fully covered. If you wanna buy from somebody that you don't know then you have to take some risks unless if you authenticate the watch at an AD.

Wow, they are getting to good. So I guess the next question is how do we battle that? Not all of us want to buy from an AD every time. What next?

AD's all the way. You pay the extra $$ for that peace of mind. Besides, if they sell you a fake you know where to find them.
