Stumbled on this on eBay- a seller, "Luxury Jewels of Beverly Hills," offering a "Rolex" necklace.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Estate-Rolex...MakeTrack=true

Hard to believe. Google turned up a few detractors, claiming Rolex has never made anything other than watches and the accessories we know as swag. That, and the diet cokes they serve up, although we all recognize they are not the OEM.

Any validity to this seller listing the brand of this necklace as Rolex? I'm dubious but thought I'd ask the authorities that lurk these hallowed halls.

Well, the necklace says "ROLBX" and not ROLEX. Besides that, I doubt very very much that Rolex would put a chronometer tag on a bracelet... that is just ridiculous.

Yep....shifting this to the Watchout section where it belongs.

Am I missing something? I see "Rolex" in the title and description. The clasp has "RolexSA".

dadonn2 · 12 September 2015, 02:25 AM

When I inquired about the piece, the response was:

"I bought it years ago from an authorized Rolex dealer. I have seen one other one as well. I have never sold fake items and I never would. I have been in Beverly Hills and in the business for over 20 years."

What's a little odd is the insistence if you ask me. This seller has six figure pieces of jewelry for sale and some kind of reputation. As far as I can tell, the clasp says Rolex and RolexSA but that doesn't mean much.

No, it's a reference to a running joke in the main forum- people are continually asking people who visit or buy from an AD if they were offered a diet coke.

Fredrik · 12 September 2015, 05:45 AM

The tag is just nonsense, at best, the seller actually believes it to be genuine and has added the tag to make it a package without knowing what a chronometer is.

dadonn2 · 12 September 2015, 06:05 AM

Interestingly, here's another one for sale.

Says it is circa 1980.

...in a glass

wow, that necklace is just.....wow

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what an "approved P.B. dealer by Beverly Hills Police Department" is? Pawn Broker?

Seems like there should be a watch hidden in there someplace.

dadonn2 · 13 September 2015, 08:03 AM

Yes, diet coke in a glass. My faux pas. :)

The necklace is pretty hideous but I'm beginning to wonder if it's real. Could Rolex have done a short run at making scary necklaces in the early 80s? Given the times, I wonder.

This message is approved by the Beverly Hills PD- no idea what that could mean except pawn broker. My guess is that your guess is correct.
