Fake sub LV posted as real

Hi everyone

Aside from this form I like to poke around on facebook and often check out the Louis Vuitton group on facebook. Well today I saw the following post and picture .

My new baby. I know it isn't LV, but it goes well with it. Don't you think?
50th Anniversary Edition Rolex Submariner (green bezel). I love it!

So after I read the above post and read all the posts from this guys friends and strangers about how lucky he is and how great his watch looks etc...etc... a part of me felt ill becuase it really looks like he thinks judging by his reactions that he feel the watch is real and paid a good deal for it.

I sent him the following PM.

Hi David

I hope you do not mind me asking where did you purchase this watch. I am sorry to say but it appears to be off from the Sub LV produced by Rolex. A few things I noticed different are as follows. Polished centre links as your watch has are not on this model the sub LV would have brushed centre links. The date magnification for Rolex watches larger then yours plus the crown guards are not quite that flat they would cover most of the crown. The size of the font is a little large as well and it looks like you have the rehalt engraving however your bezel is the dark green one that was offered before the rehalt engraving became available on this model.

I just thought you should know about this. If you need a second opinion on this then I suggest you visit a local Rolex authorized dealer to have them take a look at your watch.
