Rolex Batman taken as a bribe

https://www.heraldnews.com/story/new...ii/6543703002/

The former Fall River, Massachusetts mayor took a Batman as one of his list of bribes from local businessmen.

The photos of a watch in various articles are usually not a GMT Master II. They are usually stock photos of a Submariner.

Rolex being used as an extortion is really not breaking news, the ADs do it all the time

That’ll be a lot harder to hide than a 1960’s model...

I lived and worked in this city. This is all painfully believable.

Might not have even been a real one. Someone here posted some pics from the Spy Museum of a fake Rolex that the Russians gave to a top CIA mole. It was like the worst Rolex fake ever.
