We have written about them thousands of times here. It is a Russian Mafia scam site where, they hook you in with their low prices and then, they take your money. You send it by untraceable means and you never hear from them again.

Don't buy in to www.rolex24h.com, www.rolexsavings.com, www.rolexcenter.net

End of story.

We should really make a sticky in this section for these guys. Combine all of our detective work onto one post and title it "Read about Rolex24hr.com here"...what do the mods think?

I agree. We explain it all the time and the question keeps popping up. I agree that it should have it's own place to be looked up by everybody.


I have not known anyone to get taken by these crooks. How many have you heard of Steve?

They're scumbags.

I used google earth to find the building in Atlanta that they claim to reside at.
ATLANTA'S APPAREL MART
250 SPRING STREET
SUITE # 6N114A
ATLANTA, GA 30303

It is a building called America's Mart. www.americasmart.com

Looks like there are over 4000 occupants of this place. Anyone in Atlanta? Do you know this building?

What you're listing is a trade show building for retailers to buy their goods. Elizabeth and I own a gift store and we shop at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago in January for our store. There is no jewelers listed in the retail aspect of this place. They have temporary exhibitors and permanent showrooms located inside. When show is on, temporaries line up floors of merchandise for us to look at and buy. We also go to some permanent showrooms that we've been doing business with for a number of years.

This guy is listing that address as a fake front. He has no place there.

Doesn't seem to work for me:

Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.rolex24h.com
Suggestions:
Go to www.­rolex24hr.­com

That site doesn't work either though.

While its true that the Russian guy selling fake rolexes was more than likely using the apparel mart address as a front, i would like to point out that there are several permanent stores inside the Apparel Mart.

I got a Rolex Submariner from Davinci Watches who maintains a permanent location inside the Apparel Mart and they gave me an excellent price. They have been there since 1999.

So as always do your homework, don't buy from Russians. Keep it domestic if you're inside the US :)
