Anybody used RXX 2Xhr.com ???

Hi all, new to this forum although i have owned a GMT Master 2 "coke" for the past 4 years.

I am possibly looking to purchase a new 16613 Subbie 18k/SS and found this website of very good priced Watches.

I am off to New York in November and wondered if i would get a better deal over the water !!.

There is something about this website rolex24hr.com that i'm just not sure about.
Has anybody used this to purchase a timepiece or should i stay well away.

I would be very gratefull for any reports of feedback.

Many thanks

Darren

I think its a Russian scam site- I have been trying to find the thread on it but i cant. I am not 100% certain ( pretty sure though) but others will tell you for sure soon enough. Just wait till they get back to you

P.S the link does not work

Let's get this straight:

1. You pick out too good to be true priced Rolex Watch.

2. You hit order and a receipt prints out telling you to where to send your cashiers check, money order, Western Union check, ACH Transaction, Bank Wire only. This is the first clue that something is wrong. These transactions are untraceable.

3. You are then told to alert them when you have sent your money. This then alerts them that they have money to get from the bank.

4. Your money is now gone. You never hear from them again and you never see the watch.

Are there any questions? This reads like the; "This is your brain on drugs" ad only not funny.

This is true for www.rolex24h.com, www.rolexsavings.com, and there is another that slips my mind along the same line.

They are Russian mafia.

Nobody answered the question about this company which may mean it needs to be in a new thread. They have great prices and I was wondering if it was gray market?
