Man jailed for fake Rolex watch A Belgian man has been jailed for six months for wearing a fake Rolex . A court in Dendermonde heard that the man, named only as Gunther R, 33, had been spotted by representatives of Rolex wearing the fake watch and they complained to authorities. The judge ruled the man had knowingly bought the fake and sentenced him to six months in prison under laws for handling counterfeit goods. He was also ordered to pay a £700 fine for breaching brand name registration laws. source.. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_15878...es.strangecrime his watch must have been a POS...obviously he was not a member!!

Dutchy Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 It's impossible as we said 6 months ago. If it IS true he must have done something else like retep said. Anyway, I think its an article 'paid for' by rolex, if ya get my drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
