Posting fake Rolex Ser. Nos?

I was wondering if it would be a good idea for TRF to have a sticky that listed the Ser. Nos. of the fake Rolex's that are out there?

Until someone mentioned it in a post, frankly it never occurred to me that fakes would be made in a production run with the same Ser. No. on all of them, although of course it makes sense. I just have ZERO experience on this subject. Or is this a dumb idea for a reason I don't know yet (please don't flame me, I'm just trying to help)? I'm thinking it would be useful for Craigslisters or other e-forum type purchasers.

It would not be worth the effort since replicas can be made with almost any S/N. You call out one set of numbers and then they easily switch it up in next run.

Plus, the most easily fooled buyers are unlikely to be checking a resource online.

Sometimes if you Google the serial number, a search engine will take you to a "replica" watch website. When you see those words, you'll know to stay away.
