llsteve80 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm looking at this watch for sale locally, if it looks ok to you guys I'll go check it out this weekend. http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/jwl/550043947.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 No, it doesn't look "ok". It's an obvious replica. Stay away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzanine Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yeah, and in general in any type of buying situation like this, if the watch doesn't come with the box and papers, then you need to take measures to verify that the watch is genuine. I wouldn't buy a watch off of craigslist without cracking the caseback, inspecting the serial, etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice and blunt, yet you have a point Thanks Yeah, and in general in any type of buying situation like this, if the watch doesn't come with the box and papers, then you need to take measures to verify that the watch is genuine. I wouldn't buy a watch off of craigslist without cracking the caseback, inspecting the serial, etc.. I do that anyway, if they say I cant peek inside I assume fake. Papers don't make me feel any better at all, I think that scammers will try to emphasize having papers to distract buyers from what could be obvious.

Guest carlsbadrolex Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Do a google search for the serial number... It will lead RIGHT BACK to this site where a member states that is the serial number on his replica day/date! Case solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llsteve80 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Maybe I should go meet him anyway and just smack the shi* out of him Thinking deviously, maybe I can go downtown and meet the guy and when I get the watch in hand call it out and threaten to call the cops and see if he just leaves without the watch. Then I get a free rep and nobody is going to get suckered into paying thousands for it. Ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
