Yet another plot twist in this saga..

So you spent this much on a watch and ONE WEEK is too long to wait to find out from Rolex if it's legit or not AFTER the fact?

Wow, man...different upbringings.

Muzz · 4 June 2014, 09:49 AM

There are tons of these floating around. The bracelet is an aftermarket 14k Italian made one, the case will be authentic, take the bracelet off and check the numbers through a loop, I am guessing you will see that the watch has been re-serialed with faint evidence of the previous number still visible.

Your only recourse would be to get the police involved to get your money back as it was not represented correctly and honestly. (The bracelet alone should do the trick).

Best of luck, sorry to see someone going through this!!

mr.president1 · 4 June 2014, 09:52 AM

This whole watch is a complete disaster. Like what compelled you to buy it??

accce · 4 June 2014, 10:05 AM

Why would you buy such an ugly watch in the first place?

andrewd · 4 June 2014, 10:11 AM

rapper watch, hideous

Good summary, but you omitted the real interesting part that the pawn shop owner was his best friend.

If he asked you to sign a promise not to sue, I'd say he knew he was on shaky ground.

Bit of a red flag.

Mosco · 4 June 2014, 11:22 AM

there is getting screwed, and there's dropping the soap on purpose in a prison shower full of lifers. You did this to yourself, man, I don't feel the least bad for you.

GB-man · 4 June 2014, 11:55 AM

You're brown bread. You couldn't resell that watch tomorrow for half what you paid. Nothing is correct and it's a complete franken from hell.

In other words see Moscos post above.

You should have file police reports and a small claims case immediately.

Lesson learned. Don't repeat.

Ontime05 · 4 June 2014, 12:03 PM

Very bad purchase. In every way.

soundserious · 4 June 2014, 12:10 PM

I don't say this lightly but I do say it often: that is an abomination.

tkerrmd · 4 June 2014, 12:16 PM

Ok how bout this....you saw a watch you liked, you liked the look the feel the bling, you bought it

To you it was worth 9k, now you own a watch you liked and bought. So how bout stop worrying about it and just enjoy the watch you liked and bought?

Is that a crazy idea

Mr. Din · 4 June 2014, 12:28 PM

Ive been around alot of custom watches. You could of made out better buying a stock watch and then icing it out yourself.

Presa canary · 4 June 2014, 12:33 PM

Man that's a ugly watch. I'm not sure I believe your story yet, but if you're legit, sorry! If you're trying a new way to figure out how bad your fake watch looks so you can sell it, it's real bad. I'd love to see the other group of " nice" watches you own... The diamonds are all different sizes, the dial is uneven, there are missing diamonds and I'm not so sure the movt is even a rolex! Why would a person who claims to owns nice watches already buy literally the worst looking fake watch I have ever seen?

You wanted it because you like it

You paid 9 k without hesitation . . .

Blue sky . . . no problem on the horizon . . . just seconds after your post

Maybe you shouldn't made that post . . .

We'll now you should be happy with your new purchase !

I an pretty sure that next time you follow the rules . . . read & ask before you buy ;)

Why thank you Grady!

I say leave the guy alone he likes the watch and never asked anyone if they liked the look of it, he likes it so when did we all start bashing someone else's taste that we don't agree with

I say live and let live my friends

Cause everybody doesn't love everything.....

Kingair · 4 June 2014, 12:55 PM

Maybe you better did checked Vlady first if you want bling . . .

Iced watches all around

SilverSurfer · 4 June 2014, 01:03 PM

I don't get it. OP accidentally buys a fraken Rolex, calls the pawn shop guy a scumbag, denounces him for fraud, and OP makes the forum feel sorry for him - then OP tries to resell the watch to another sorry ass using the same shop?
