Ah, Rolex moved production to Singapore I see. Seems legit

BOA · 5 January 2013, 12:33 PM

Tell him to leave the middle man in next time.

mmmk604 · 5 January 2013, 01:14 PM

It's a fake for sure!

tray_18 · 5 January 2013, 02:04 PM

Yep $1500 AU dollars

PcarSBA · 5 January 2013, 02:09 PM

100% fake. LEC clearly visible, clasp engraving totally wrong, font on the bezel wrong, rehaut engraving wrong, I can hear the 21,600 bph of the fake movement, and on goes the list...... I hope your uncle didn't pay more than about 80 US$ to the "Folex" factory sales rep in Singapore.

Only one way to be certain. Throw it against the wall as hard as you can. Rolex will not falter. Folex will shatter.

tray_18 · 5 January 2013, 02:18 PM

Omg is right . I don't have the heart to tell him .

BOA · 5 January 2013, 02:29 PM

Is that "18K" half-stamped in the steel? That should have tipped him off that something was wrong.

Blong · 5 January 2013, 02:31 PM

Yeah....18k Stainless Steel....nice!! That watch has a lot of problems...

tray_18 · 5 January 2013, 03:03 PM

This is a low grade replica. Low

U5512 · 5 January 2013, 04:31 PM

FAKE fake fake.

77T · 5 January 2013, 06:25 PM

So it was like a bank robbery in reverse...they stole your Uncles money!

joseluu · 5 January 2013, 07:41 PM

Very bad fake.

Yes, it is 18K SS. The best steel you can find.

crowncollection · 5 January 2013, 08:14 PM

Fake dial, fake bracelet, fake crystal, fake bezel, fake date wheel, and the list goes on and on and on. A very poor fake in fact.

The "Oyster Perpetual Date" font used on dial tells the tale from a mile away. The "9" on the date wheel looks bent, and it's not the cyclops.

I'd appreciate if you could give us some more info on how this was "passed" to him by a "Company Rep". I'm a regular visitor in Singapore and, even if in take my precautions, I would not like any of this ever "passed" to me?

esm · 5 January 2013, 10:07 PM

whats the current scrap value for 18K SS?
