"For someone who is a member of NAWCC it's surprising to see the fake chrono bridge with "Rolex" engraved..."

I was a member of the NAWCC for about 20 years. I saw a LOT of crooks come and go in that time and I turned a few crooks in myself. Palo Alto Micro for example.

Buyer beware...

I saw a guy at the Philadelphia National a few years ago selling fake tooter rangers for $600 or $800 with fake dials, hands etc with genuine cases and movements. He claimed they were "100% genuine" and never would admit what they were. Now most of the fake tooter rangers are 100% fake and sell for around $200 to $300. A friend of mine went to an NAWCC National a couple years ago and came back with 3 fake rangers and he said the guy selling them had 10 or 12 spread out on his table. Fake stuff is everywhere but sometimes you have to know the guy who has it because it might be in a box under the table.

Frankenstein rolex watches and fake parts are everywhere too and much of the time the seller will play dumb and not tell you what's what.

I learned watch trading in the 'trenches' and this forum has the best bunch of 'watchguys' I have seen so far. :hi:

Interesting, for an orginazation that stands for what it appears to stand for, that is disapointing to hear.

Palo Alto Micro.. Have not seen that name for awhile.

I was thinking exactly the same thing...
