Doesn't Take long

The crooks sure figure out how to copy things quickly. Look at the Maxi Dial on this gold Sub.........

And they want payment to Western Union. That is the best part.



Then they don´t sell to some country, maybe I should
move to Indonesia to be safe from that crap.

Hello buddy,

Well yes he is a french, but most of the crappy Rolex in the world don't come from here ok ?

I guess much more are coming from the USA.

Please do not categorise people.

thanks / Pierre, FRENCH

I think most of the Folex come out of Asia. I see them everywhere I go over here.
People buy them on vacation and bring them home and sell them......

Its funny how they dont accept payment from China..........only the watches

I sent the guy an email telling him to pull that POS off ebay and he sent me one back in French. I speak and read french........he is a text book crook.

He called me an "idiot american". I had to break the bad news to him I was Canadian

These crooks have Balls......I am just amazed ebay doesnt do more to protect their customers.

What a moron: the fake he's selling doesn't even look like the artwork he scanned from the Rolex book. LLOOOOOOOSEERRRR! Unless someone actually buys it. BTW- I reported it, too.

Larry,
What can we say "idiot american" they guy must know several American politicians in the two main political parties. Let’s fly to France and kick his As-, I am sure the honest good French people I have met would thank us.

Wow this seller does not make any sense at all in any of his replies.

Nonsense replies + Horrible pictures + Easy giveaway the watch is a replica from pictures + Zero Feedback = Stay away from seller.

Apparently, the bidders are not doing their homework as well.
