Prices are too good to be true $2950 for a gold/SS SUB come on!
After a litte investigation looks like the Russians are behind it.

I agree, after putting in a fake name and clicking the pay button, there is no secure page and they want you to wire the money to some guy instead of a company name.

Didn't someone ask about this seller awhile back. Remember, " if it sounds to good to be true it usually isn't".

I called Rolex New York and advised them about a phony site......they did nothing about it. Site uses video from Rolex's web page. So they spend millions tracking down fraud? Not so.
