November 2012

Warning from a reader: Fake Rolex watches are being sold at an Ohio flea market by a woman who says she is selling off her deceased husband's Rolex collection. She has a different watch each week and asks about $250 for each. They're all fakes.

Don't Rolex watches have a distinctive or unique registration/tracking number
issued by the company?

I would hope that no one thinks that buying a real rolex for $250 regardless of
condition or the story that is being told at any type of flea market could ever
be a reality! There are more fake rolexs out there than all the real rolexs that
have ever been made combined! Some are great fakes, others are pretty bad. Stay
away from people trying to sell you expensive watches for low prices and you
will keep your money longer!

Lot's of fakes out there. I bought a fake just like the one pictured in SOHO,
NYC a few years ago for $10.

I hope some notified the police! In the earlier part of the spring/summer hear
in Columbus, Ohio a flea market was raided and literaly closed down as all but
one of the vendors had their fake wares seized by the FEDS! They were selling
Rolexes, designer purses, etc. It apparently had been going on for some time so
I imagine the law had made purchases and had the merchandise examined to confirm
that the items were fake before making the arrests and seizures. Yay for the
good guys!

I bought a fake Rolex in Manhattan several years ago. I new it couldn't be real
the starting price was low, I low-balled the Chinese lady in Chinatown and paid
$25 for the watch. I held firm on the low price, and she ranted "how can I
make a living selling 25 dolla rolex" but took $25 for the watch. I was
amazed at the quality of this fake watch. I never owned a quality watch and new
this was still a quality watch even though it was fake. The most obvious
tell-tale of this fake watch (from what I learned later) is the magnifier is not
what Rolex does and the second hand has the hesitation that isn't supposed to be
there. But to the unknowing this watch would sell easily for $250. Rolex's do
not sell for $250. If it's to good to be true... it is! But I have a nice
piece of cheap costume jewelery, I'd sell in a minute for $250... but not for
$25.
