Hard to believe

I just came across a webite that sells used Rolex watches. They are in the UK, with many testimonials and their history. What caught my eye is they hace a 116520 white face Daytona for sale for $6300.00USD!

Are you sure that's not in Euros or British Pound?

I would be skeptical of testimonials, who knows if they're real or not?

Here is THE man in the UK - Tom Bolt's website: http://www.watchguru.com/ Lots of Vintage and modern Rolex watches - and more.

A very reputable guy. He was featured in the BEST WIS documentary ever (IMO), "Time Machines"
