"So we've broken up and he has forgotten one of the few things I know he loved more than me. His Daytona Rolex. Break ups suck, but get backs make it all better. We were together in Vegas when he bought it at The Watch Boutique along the strip. This watch definitely works a number on the ladies becasue it worked a number on me. We paid about 19k for it back in 2003. The watch has an 18 Karat gold band and face with a black dial. It is well worn and can be absolutely beautiful when cleaned.This is truly a super steal for the sake of relationships gone wrong. Will only accept cash no scammers, thieves, or stupid people period. Price is fairly negotiable, do not insult me. Serious offers only!"

I responded if we can meet and verify authenticity, will pay cash on the spot. Hope to hear back, but like the saying goes...basically, I'm not holding my breath

Has Harlem really changed in to the Rolex type of neighborhood nowadays?

[tszyu#1]

True, but I know ppl who live in 'bad' neighborhoods, Washington Heights, South Bronx, Bed-Stuy with Subs, DJ's, so can't really judje based on neighborhood, but the ad is what's so fishy, like Oscar said...and apparently it's a girl, not a guy....how the heck would someone forget their 20k Rolex in the midst of a divorce/breakup?

Never did for obvious reasons. Let us know if "she" replies.

I agree, what an a**

and BTW......really only 2 things smell like fish...and only one is a fish

I live in the Bay Area where Craigslist started. Used to have coffee in the same shop "Craig" frequented. But that's beside the point...

Use EXTREME caution on Craigslist for watches. There is a ton of Garbage posted by people who are a) scammers or b) are trying to sell some POS watch that is so far from being real, much less of high quality...it is not worth your time.

Worse yet, I would be very leery of meeting someone for a cash deal. Life is too short man.

There is more chance that i would forget my clothes than my watches when breaking up!

Can't see someone leaving a 20k Rolex behind, you turn up to buy and end up getting robbed

This happended in the UK

Agree. Things like such happen a lot here in China. You turn up with cash but your dream watch won't follow you home. Watch out and good luck.

Hey I got a response!!
My email was basically why so cheap, can we meet to verify authenticity...today's email:

"Because it belonged to my ex and i dont need the money. I can gladly meet you where ud like."

What to think? Is it worth my time? Is it worth bringing 5k cash on me if it is the real deal?

Meet at a Jewelry store, just be careful, the last such story, the jeweler offered the seller more money.

Thx, I was thinking diamond dist, since 5 min away, but its on my aol email, which is blocked...anyway I dint even bring the cash...

Lets ay it's legit...a lady, knowing she has a 18-20k watch, some 300lb man can meet her, bring 5 ppl and just rob her...

On the other hand, like the link someone posted, she could not be a woman, or even if she is, bring 4 or 5 ppl, knowing that potential buyer has cash on him and rob him, that's why the I can meet u anywhere is throwing me off as to whether it;s legit or not

[TimeToGo]

Meet to authenticate the watch and then go to your bank for payment (their choice, cash certified check). Leave the watch in a security box at the bank for a couple of days, if you are uneasy with the situation.
