Rolex...real or fake?

Drum roll please...and the answer, it's real ly fake:lol:

I knew nothing about Rolex watches before finding this watch. Now I know more about Rolex watches than I ever wanted. When I took it to the specialty watch repair guy and told him that I found it metal detecting his first response when I asked if it was real was, "It looks like ya done good". It wasn't unitil he removed one of the band clasps closest to the case that he let out a groan of dissapointment and "sorry" soon followed. Said it was the best knock off he'd ever seen though.

Oh well, easy come easy go. Next time!

My hunting partner also found one of the best knock offs a Rolex dealer had seen. He still got $300. for it from a friend.
 
The "RolexRolexRolex" writing on the rehaut was the giveaway...that has only been around for a few years, well after the Pepsi color scheme (red and blue bezel). The spelling mistake inside the bracelet wasn't too good either! :D
 
Apparently that is one of three common fake serial numbers too.

Good lookin' fake though.
 
I don't support counterfeit goods but if it's a find... Like Dogpound said, I'd wear it.

Imo, the only people that would be able to tell if it's real or fake, mostly, are the people that are really into them. I like the classic Louis Vuitton bags and can spot a fake vey easily.

No hard feelings at all :) Yep, it is still a fake. I'd wear it because it works and the effort made by digging it. Tells the time and a story;). If it were a fake LV bag, forget it..

Although, thinking more about this.... How long I'd wear it??? Probably not long. I'd feel too much guilt and that might be something we can't discuss on here. :?:

I'd say your right Bigpoppa and it's the American consumer not to mention the French, German, Japanese, Italian, Spainard, Brazilian consumer etc. and not solely the American consumer perpetuating the problem. I could probably include every country around the globe but ultimately it's the Chinese worker making .75 cents/day that's jumping off Apple factory roofs. It's the Chinese govts ability to look the other way and horrendous civil rights record that is solely to blame for this !!!! making it through customs.

Malaysia and Vietnam are fast on their heels but I wouldn't say I'm assuming anything about China being the primary culprit here:roll:
 
Korea faked everything under the sun including our music. Now their economy has gotten high and they don't do it as much. The government allowed it. Now the new cheater is China. They allow and encourage fakes. Everything is allowed as long as they are making money. Unfortunately the buyer is a victim in most cases. They do not realize a fake until someone points it out. You can't just blame "us" for buying it. Things are made to cheat people and it works.
