Comment/No Comment on Fake Rolex?

The other day I was walking around the jewelry district in downtown Los Angeles looking at different watches. One jeweler was displaying a Sub so fake it was laughable. To name a few signs...the cyclops was crooked, the date magnification was weak and the hour marker at the 6 o'clock position was overlapping the 'Swiss Made' text. OMG. I really wanted to ask him how much, just to see if he would try and sell it to me, but chickened out. I was also too afraid to take a picture, so apologies for that.

Have any of you ever come across a fake Rolex at a gray market dealer? Would any of you ever comment to the business about it?

We don't really discuss fakes here. And no, none of our trusted dealers here would sell a fake rolex

No legitimate business would risk their business license and customer base by selling counterfeit products.

There are plenty of sites dedicated to this illegal activity. If you choose to discuss them, please go there
