flamemax Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hey People, I just came across this in the Montreal classifeds. Is this a Scam, it looks too good to be true. Diamonds and gold for $2900??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Depends on how much diamonds and gold.............a little more info might be useful Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamemax Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Ken.... Thanks for pointing that out... I somehow managed to flub up my post and not paste the link and here is the link hxxp://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-jewellery-watches-MENS-ROLEX-18K-GOLD-DAY-DATE-PRESIDENT-DIAMOND-QUICKSET-W0QQAdIdZ34813803 Change out the xx for tt and then copy paste Note: I usually post from work, and hence I am strapped for time (aren't we all)... I usually try to get my point across and do not pay much attention to detail, I guess I am a victim of my own bad ahbbits in this case. Thanks again for pointing it out!

KB Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Ok my advice, don't walk.......run Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamemax Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Ken, I'll take that as constructive criticism. I work as a high level RF/IP communications engineer, I do this for many US law enforcement bureaus , so I run most of the day with very little time to walk.

freddy333 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Ken may be right & this could be a (good) legitimate deal, but my gut tells me otherwise. A diamond Daydate for $2,900? Poppycock! At the very least, I would not do anything without first seeing good, clear pictures of the movement and/or an original bill of sale or last service invoice (showing the serial number, which must match the serial number between the lugs (you need to remove the bracelet to see this)) by Rolex. What I see does not give me any warm fuzzies in my tummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 @flamemax: You can use Tinyurl.com to paste extremely long links to forums. Here's your link: http://tinyurl.com/yra6xr My advice is to stay away, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamemax Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 @ By-Tor - I'll use tinyurl from now on - Love your Avatar BTW!!!!! Rush is the S#(t! Is there any particular reason you fellas woud stay away from this. If I compare to bay prices, this piece is either priced to sell, or a scam, right. I'm not the diamond type of guy, but I could use this gen in my collection @ this price - @freddy -is your recomendation a fool proof way of determining if the piece is gen or not, I'm guessing it is.

HighDef Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Gens of this model (solid gold with diamonds) usually go for arround 20 Gs. This is a deal of the century, but I advice you not to touch it witha 10 foot pole for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 @freddy -is your recomendation a fool proof way of determining if the piece is gen or not, I'm guessing it is. No. An appraisal by Rolex is the only fool proof way of determining authenticity. Anything else is a best guess, at best. Especially when you cannot physically open & inspect the watch/movement in person. Others will probably offer additional recommendations, but I would say the things I suggested should be considered the minimum requirements for making an online Rolex purchase when you are buying from a stranger (especially a stranger without any posted sales history of similar watches) & Paypal or some other 3rd party escrow service is not available.
