Just something to look out for

A aquaintance of mine has recently been scammed over in the Far East. Not by the full value of a new rolex, luckily, but still enough to be very upset about. He showed me his new watch on Monday and it didn't look right. We took the back off and to an untrained eye (like mine) it seemed OK but I still wasn't convinced so we took it to a watchmaker in Manchester and he confirmed it to be counterfeit.

The chinese replicas are now even making their movements look like Rolex movements not just the exteriors of the watch.

Unfortunatley Jakey has smashed the damn thing in anger but we have done some research and found a website with some photos... I'm now asking the question, should I post the pics of the movement even though they are from a replica sales site (I'll blur out their url if I can)? I'm not sure if I'm allowed to , thought it'd be OK for the "watch out" section because they'd be there to prevent people getting done over but thought I'd better check first.

If it turns out OK I'll get the pics when I'm home from work. Not going on that sort of site whilst in the office!
