ubiquitous Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hmmm... So, the warranty papers and receipt from my DVD player probably don't carry the same weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hmmm... So, the warranty papers and receipt from my DVD player probably don't carry the same weight? Maybe if you white-out the "cyberhome" and "dvd player" and replace that with "Rolex" and "Submariner" you can sell em for the big bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 you know what? I'm almost 100% sure, that within the next few weeks there will popup a fake DRSD (WM/MBW) with mods and gen movement with those papers aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 you know what? I'm almost 100% sure, that within the next few weeks there will popup a fake DRSD (WM/MBW) with mods and gen movement with those papers aside. Slay, You’re probably dead on. I believe the crazy buying frenzy over vintage Rolex "Stuff" is probably driven by folks who are selling either a MBW w/ genuine movement or they have taken a more recent SeaDweller (you can pick them up on Ebay every day for around 3300-3500 USD) Pop in a refinished DRSD dial and with a nice box, papers and accessories, you have a 10-15k watch!! Pretty good return on your investment. With the "genuine "papers, the MBW/ upgrade seller can take it one step further, grind down the serial numbers and re-engrave the serial #'s to match the certificate!! None of the above would fool a WIS, but not many real avid Rolex collectors are on Ebay, most of those guys have private sale, sources for watches. But Ebay is just loaded with folks who are not very knowledgeable, but know just enough to get in trouble. Most of those folks are a little greedy and that makes them easy prey for the scammer. Always looking for a bargain, they jump on a DRSD starting at 5k and bid it up to 8-9 k, win the auction, and gloat to all their friends about what a great deal they got on Ebay. Great, until you take the watch to your local Rolex AD, whereupon the watchmaker takes one look at the watch and tells you ‘Sorry, this is a fake Rolex”!! You now realize you have been taken!! You have a 400 dollar watch with a 1k movement. Now wasn’t that 600-700 dollars for the genuine papers a good investment afterall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
