freddy333 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Authorities say Tran fabricated hundreds of thousands of fake Rolex watches in his home near Philadelphia. Officials seized about 24,000 counterfeit watches and enough parts to create 1 million more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 It's hard to explane but I actually feel sick to my stomach. I bet several of those "fake" Rolexs found there way Into the pockets of those officials looking over the destruction. Na they wouldn't do something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southcoast68 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 7000 watches crushed, hundreds of thousands more comming from Asia every year, what a waste of energy. I wonder how many other violent crimes were happening while all this good PR was going down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronoluvvv Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 yep 7000 were crushed in lieu of the 7 million they'll make next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansenshukai Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Maybe those had incorrect crown guards and a terrible bezel pearl and this is just an inventory adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Maybe those had incorrect crown guards and a terrible bezel pearl and this is just an inventory adjustment. "watches were seized from Binh Cam Tran, who pleaded guilty last year to charges including trafficking in counterfeit goods. Tran is serving six years in federal prison. He has been ordered to pay more than $2.2 million to the Rolex Co. Authorities say Tran fabricated hundreds of thousands of fake Rolex watches in his home near Philadelphia. Officials seized about 24,000 counterfeit watches and enough parts to create 1 million more." My hypothesis: Maybe he did not actually fabricate them, but only changed the dials?

Eton Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Are they talkin [censored] about are beloved reps again? Unfortunately, yes...I just joined their forum...and it was one of the first posts I read! Not a good way to start...especially when they said the people who wear fakes should be steam rolled as well But whatever, can't get worked up about it!
