This watch was lost once and should not be sent to Rolex!
Probably means that is it on the Lost/Stolen register?

Seller: geordiedazzy2010

I'm a jeweller for over 10 years and I purchased this off my colleague. He lost it but once he re-found it he didnt want it so I was happy enough to take it off him. He mentioned NOT to send it to Rolex as there will be change of ownership to go through and due to the above may be difficult. Im telling you this as I wanna be 100% truthful with everyone. A local watchmaker would be adequate to do any future repairs.

Great catch!

His feedback not the greatest either.

The local police should purchase this watch...

Someone just bought it for £800.

Aka: stolen.

I have never seen a seller being up front about a stolen watch.

Wow!!

Wow his comments are one of the biggest red flags I've seen. I'm not knowledgeable enough (yet) to pick out a good fake, but his advice to not contact rolex would definitely be enough to have me running for the hills.

He should've just said: "It's real, but stolen; it can be yours at a huge discount!".
