I hope this thread will stay posted. This website offers purportedly new Rolex watches at great prices, were it not apparent that these watches are fakes. Incidentally, by using google earth, I find that the given address is a condo on Tampa Bay. Caveat emptor

ron17402 · 15 August 2007, 05:06 AM

Have you checked out the site?

Scroll ot the bottom. Is that his site? I recognize his picture from an avitar at this forum, but don't know his screen name.

Or do you think they stole his picture.

colemanitis · 15 August 2007, 05:09 AM

That's a pic of Nick Hacko, but that's not his site.

Odd.

So, who's sent an e-mail yet inquiring about some models? Or, better yet, ask why he has a picture of Nick on his website.

I sent him an email. He said I can return a watch within 14 days if I am unhappy, but I must pay for it in full first. Just read the "company history". This guy sells cars in a "BUY HERE-PAY HERE" lot for his real job.

Bama · 15 August 2007, 07:04 AM

Yep, that's Nick Hacko. I wonder if he knows his picture is there or not. He should be able to clear this up.

WWOODDYY74 · 15 August 2007, 07:08 AM

I have been on this site before! Just curious, what makes it fake??? I can not tell! He does allow you to purchase via credit card! So, if by chance it is a fake, you can cancel the transaction via your CC company at a moments notice! I'm just not so sure that this business is fake! I'm also unable to find the company history, where is it located?

Downing · 15 August 2007, 07:25 AM

I don't know if the watches are fake, but the website is poorly designed and the copy suffers from poor grammar throughout. In my mind, that's a huge red flag.

Not a site I would consider if I were shopping for a Rolex.

Which I'm not.

Because I'm a happy Sea-Dweller feller.

Rubenonfire · 15 August 2007, 10:33 AM

Nick's going to be pissed...

Rodentman · 15 August 2007, 10:40 AM

It's crapola because he is selling a used "D" SS Daytona for $5,850 and claims the list price is $11,750. Clearly there is something wrong here.

Rawhyde · 15 August 2007, 11:08 AM

The TT Blue Sub is interesting looking. Never heard of a 16233 before. Mebbe it's new....

Rawhyde

PS I saw the pic of Nick Hacko. I bet he'll be rigid when he sees that!

dubyatf · 15 August 2007, 11:42 AM

Creeps steal pics off of e-bay (and anywhere) all the time which is why you see some sellers watermarking their wares. It's sad :(

From what I saw on the site he only allows wire transfer and cashiers check. Which means your money is gone if this is a bogus site.

Tombstone · 15 August 2007, 02:56 PM

What a scam!

Nope, it's old. That's the model number for a pre-Maxi Case TT Datejust. A lot of fakes have 16233 printed on the hologram sticker, regardless of the model being counterfieted - you can see an example of it on The Rolex Report.

I wonder what RUSA would have to say about these scam artists.

A condo? That's pathetic - these back-shed operators don't even have a back shed.

Interested Bystander · 15 August 2007, 04:13 PM

Wow 93.6% positive on ebay stinks. Only 41+

I bought from ebay the guy was 99.9+% positive and had over 2500 + transactions.

Anything under 99.8% on ebay and I wouldn't ever consider it. Ever.

But those 99.9+ % guys with thousands of transactions are likely solid.

And I don't care who you buy from, if it's used open the caseback, that can't lie.

SPACE-DWELLER · 15 August 2007, 08:05 PM

That rolexsavings site sucks...............BIG time!

ozark1 · 15 August 2007, 10:18 PM

I just sent them an Email asking why they have Nick's picture on their condo address site when he has never heard of them. I'll post if I get a reply...but I won't hold my breath...j

Downing · 16 August 2007, 01:20 AM

Well, the website says all questions are answered the same day...

Floridadogg · 18 August 2007, 06:58 AM

Does anyone know how to email ROLEX USA? The website links you to ROLEX's web advertisement when you click one of the links. These guys are true scammers.

drumpike · 18 August 2007, 07:19 AM

Their site looks more legit by supplying "help" in identifying a fake rolex. creepy.
And... is it just me that found it funny that Nick's last name is "Hacko"?? (sorry Nick - just struck me as funny)

timebroker · 18 August 2007, 07:21 AM

Doing a lookup search for his websites SP and reporting him to them should be enough to take his site off line... they do not like it one bit.

steve-o · 18 August 2007, 07:49 AM

Nick,

The pic in the bogus site of you is linked to your url from your web site:
http://clockmaker.com.au/w/me5.jpg

If you change the image html code on your original website to a new image file (like me6.jpg) with a new image you'll be fine....then change the me5.jpg file for an ugly image that says "I sell fake Rolex watches" it will only be on his website and not yours.

He obviously just copied your html code for his crap site.

Let me know if I can help.

divmat · 18 August 2007, 07:52 AM

Under the FAQ's it does list CC payments. But overall seems like a crappy site. I have purchased from Power Sellers that work out of their houses on grey watches. They are new Swiss Rolexes, but as someone said here they just took the long route. Maybe people do work from home on e-bay that are reputable. This one just seems strange..!!!

Be cautious on who you deal with for sure!

explodingtaco · 18 August 2007, 07:59 AM

Here you go Nick, Your picture is on the contact page so they prob wont notice for at least a few days. It is the exact same size so they should be none the wiser unless they look at the page themselves. Since the name and size are the same there computers cache most likely will not refresh to the new img for quite some time. You may be able to switch it and it be up for weeks before they ever notice. Of course they could be reading this thread :|

If they have more stuff link we could really screw up their site.

Please leave the link up. At some point google will find the reference and an unsuspecting buyer might be saved by reviewing the comments here.

I wonder where they stole the other content from on their website?

The Z series Daytonas have thin hands. They couldn't even steal the right picuture!
