That is funny, he has the card and the paper and EVERYTHING!

Chad R! Good to see you on this forum.

. . . forward the link to me, along with the reason you believe it's fake.

I am on a special reporting team with eBay and they remove watch auctions at my urging.

The link is above. The watch is not fake, this guy stole photos from others and trying to make a sale. I bet he does not have the watch.

You should then also know that you are not supposed to disclose all this and should refrain discussing your enrollment in this particular program on public sites / forums is.
Doing so will result in being removed from the program .

I am aware of that, but I don't really care if I'm in the program or not, so eBay is welcome to remove me at any time they wish. I don't get anything for participating, except the occasional ridicule, of course.

I can, however, accomplish more if knowledgeable enthusiasts like the people on this board help.

I cannot view every auction, and I do not know every watch, so the more links that are sent to me, the more quickly the auctions in question can be removed.

And, as an aside, I doubt that the people who are offering illegal trademark infringing replicas are monitoring this site, or any of the other sites where I try to help out,

Given the popularity and the reputation this forum and some others have acquired in the Rolex community we can assume that even the "wrong" people for the "wrong" reason found their way here and exploit the wealth of information at their disposal .

I made an honest offer to help, and the offer was made sport of, which is more of a reflection of those who scoffed than it is of me. I guess that's why's it's not always a good idea to make assumptions . . .

By the way, I don't know what "reputation this forum . . . has acquired in the Rolex community", but in my experience, the people flogging fakes on the internet are purely interested in money, and have zero interest in gleaning knowledge.

Perhaps the people running the replica factories in China have an interest in the site . . .

I've removed the newsletter.

There are a number of members here who received the same newsletter and report said "dodgy" items; some do it without even posting it here in Watchout.

My hat's off to this moderator's decision .
To me the results obtained in watch out section is by collective effort . We all try to contribute in the way we can .
