Meh... I'll bite... let's see some pix please!

GeoGio Greece · 26 February 2011, 07:06 PM

I always wanted a mil Sub. But could non get one cheap.

Now I know the way. I buy a metal detector and "fish" around the Greek islands. Thousands of kilometers of coasts, millions of people pass by, many wear Rolexes, some loose them, so I stand a great chance of finding one.

But what if I find a gold DD, or a SS DJ, or a GMT ? Simple. I throw it back in the water for the next chap that is looking for such a watch. I will remain focused to my target. A mil Sub !!

First time poster..3 pages and no pics. Kind of makes it clear what is going on here.

What's an ocean?

Sunshine · 27 February 2011, 02:17 AM

I lost my 5513 in Pensacola diving 17 years ago. As well mind was on a Nano strap. I think the strap broke wile I was working on my spear gun. I love my 16600 on a Nano but I just don't trust them anymore. My first Rolex at the bottom of the sea...

HL65 · 27 February 2011, 02:33 AM

Where did he go? Errrr me not buying it. Too many fakes out there! Wrong bezel insert on your picture too. Milsub circle tight--one being from Australia--Buddy Jedly--he would have found it first as he is great Milsub hunter!!

Jason71 · 27 February 2011, 03:24 AM

I am SO SURPRISED that we have never gotten any pics

Did anyone PM the OP so that they could get first dibs on such an awesome find?

rolexsweep · 27 February 2011, 03:31 AM

PICS!!!! oh and how did others lose there watches in the ocean? it just came of the wrist?

gha · 27 February 2011, 03:52 AM

I can't figure out why someone would bother posting that, & then not respond to anything after that? Seems like a waste of time, except has all of us responding, so maybe that is the desired result?

That's usually the general idea.

two tone · 27 February 2011, 04:00 AM

Do you guys Realize the original "poster" has not been back since his first post? He's got you guys all shooting at each other and he's long-gone. He started the arguments and left the bar. ???

IMHO, he didn't really start any arguments. In fact, he started a rather amusing thread. It has been quite fun to read through all this nonsense and get a small laugh. Highly amusing. I do wish that he would return so that I could wire that money to him.

Watch Professor · 27 February 2011, 04:42 AM

I lost it. Please return it as soon as possible.

TopNotchChach · 27 February 2011, 04:57 AM

so what happened to the thread starter?

bayerische · 27 February 2011, 08:45 PM

Someone offered him 50K for it via PM yet?

Rolex116520 · 27 February 2011, 08:50 PM

Maybe he is waiting to meet up with the guy with the 1675 gilt /1560 to buy the camera ?

Allow me to add " .. from the first post "

Rolex116520 · 27 February 2011, 10:44 PM

It was fun ...
Just any of us only had to google the number on his case back : 0552/923-7697 599/76
and we would have found this ebay listing :

harry in montreal · 27 February 2011, 10:57 PM

i dont know what is more stupid...

stupid for posting his impossible story.

idiotic for thinking anyone would believe it.

i am sure he's posting on a car forum that he just found a hemi charger in a barn with zero miles on it. but dislikes automatic so he left it behind.

HL65 · 27 February 2011, 11:01 PM

At least he could have posted a picture of a proper Milsub with correct bezel etc. This smelled like rotten fish the second I saw it!! And--hre we are still going on about it!! LOL
