It's not a matter of being a smartass but we don't give advice on fake Rolex's.

Just for the heck of it, can you remove the bracelet to see if there are any numbers in between the lugs...That should help clarify things...somewhat..!!

My eyes!

It's a fake and you knew it. You usually know if a relative would have a 60K watch!

I am new here so I don't want to ruffle any feathers but I tend to want to side with Thomas. What did Zan691 do wrong? He wasn't trying to sell watch and IMHO he posted in the right place didn't he? He wasn't trying to rip someone off HERE was he? So again what was the fault here

He asked what makes it fake which forum rules prohibits us from discussing.

The "smartass" quotation didn't get him bonus points either.

Well, the watch shown is a fake so any further discussion here doesn't really lead to anywhere other than showing it is still fake.

The post just doesn't pass the initial sniff test, on many levels.

Okay I get that but how is that different from all the posts that I have seen asking if this is real and everyone chimes in and gives opinions on what they believe makes the watch real or fake. Are members not supposed to answer those questions? I am only asking to be informed for the future. Thanks

I have to say that I am also waiting for the answer to this question.
