It's been dealt with as we speak her secretary bought the watch for her as she was busy... She bought my longines watch from crouch ... And I will go back there or Cardiff as they are the only 2 shops which can sell rolex watches. From rolex.com

So it's either the secretary that's done the dirty or she got conned it's been investigated.

And I will be back to prove the people who are accusing me of trying to pass a fake as a real, as a poster said why would I list the faults all I was doing is trying to find some information as this is my first rolex. For my collection.

I think we have seen this movie before and know how it ends

silverbug · 3 April 2014, 01:26 AM

There are 2 Rolex AD's in Cardiff, Watches of Switzerland in the old St Davids Centre and Crouch a short walk away in the newer St Davids 2 Centre.
I'd place a hefty wager the watch didn't come from any Rolex AD.....

Steboyi · 3 April 2014, 01:31 AM

Thanks silver bug as I mentioned I bought from crouch before. But will also check Cardiff.
As I thought there was only 1 there.

Steboyi · 3 April 2014, 01:34 AM

Just a quick question say the watch is 8,000 pounds give or take there is always room for negotiation how much discount do there shops usually offer on a rolex. From crouch or Cardiff stores just so I have a rough idea what there prepared to drop

Hilly10 · 3 April 2014, 06:48 AM

Discounts are you mad, you may get 0% HP but that will be your lot

And don't you mean their shops not there shops

I was recently in WoS in St Davids 1, the salesman said absolutely no chance of any discount on the SS oyster professional models, the people at Crouch were more polite but no discount as well. There was a BLNR and I took a look at it but it was gone by the end of the week.

You should probably have your legal team start drafting the papers to sue the secretary as well. And the cab company that drove her to the store. Bring everyone into it and let the insurers figure it out. ;)

Jakey · 4 April 2014, 01:54 AM

If my secretary purchased the watch I would certainly be expecting a receipt, can't see why it's taking too long to clear up.
Your watch and packaging is consistent with a £60 Bolex from Gumtree.

djemmtee · 4 April 2014, 03:50 AM

of the hundreds of brand new rolex I have handled, none of them have ever come wrapped that way from the rolex factory in geneva switzerland.....

your watch is not authentic....

byodo88 · 4 April 2014, 03:53 AM

The only way this story would hold up, and I would buy it, is if the secretary thought they could get away with passing a fake and pocketed the money. However, it seems as though additional facts keep popping up here which raises the red flag higher and higher.

Maxy · 4 April 2014, 05:25 AM

So, people are so 'busy' to buy their FIRST ROLEX that they send their secretaries/car drivers/staff with 8000 pounds and get it?

Is it a Rolex or weekly grocery?

Steboyi · 4 April 2014, 05:31 AM

Things are been dealt with and once i purchase a new one I will be posting it here to prove a few people wrong that's all I can say. As mentioned this was a rushed post I should of worded it a lot better.
So there's no need to keep posting.... Once I've updated with a new buy feel free to come back and check this post and comment. Thanks

Don't waste your time commenting on a fake.

CrownMe · 4 April 2014, 12:44 PM

im suprised how long it took to call this out as fake. Caseback and Box/Papers screamed fake right away for me.

I just think its funny cuz first the OP bought it. Then his girlfriend bought it........then his girlfriends secretary bought it. i mean cmon.....i thought the story could be possible until the secretary came in

You mean people don't always send their secretaries to buy Rolexes for their boyfriends?

mluther · 4 April 2014, 10:08 PM

Was waiting for the "APRIL FOOLS", but no. Junk from beginning to end!

It's more common than you think.

The last house I purchased was actually bought by my wife's secretary's personal assistant.

I was too busy armwrestling the Queen at the time.

OP we are still waiting for an info, where the gf - erm - secretary - the sister-in-law from the secretary - the secretary's sister-in-laws maniqure - etc. bought that watch from.

It should not take days to get that info and post here.

Edit: If it was me, I'd be all over the seller immediately.
If that deal really happened - the seller commited fraud. he'd receive a call and minutes later a personal visit from me. If he would not refund - the nearest police station would be my next destination.

Hilly10 · 5 April 2014, 05:59 PM

I think he just made things up as he went. Walter Mitty springs to mind. I think its as was said at the top of the thread, he wanted to see if he could pass it as a fake.

Steboyi · 6 April 2014, 02:39 AM

Pass as a fake hilly 10 be patient I'll make sure I post a picture very soon just for you. As I said no need to post a comment until I upload a new pic. Won't be to long so be patient.

Johny · 6 April 2014, 03:41 AM
