I know a guy that bought a fake Rolex. He'd show people but then tell them it was fake.
Like what's the point?

I had a fake rolex in a display I was selling things at the flea market 2 weekends ago and someone stole it, I'm sure they will be disappointed when they find out its a fake...lol

I'd sell it, and start looking for this watch!

Then sell it! And so on!!!

There are some really crazy priced watches out there! Some go into the millions! I can't even imagine wearing anything on my wrist as it is, let alone a watch that costs that much.

I would have no idea what it was other than a watch...the same with sunglasses.

 

[diggummup]

I'd relocate the heck out of Florida.

Wow! That is an expensive watch! I wore my friends $60,000 watch for a few minutes. It was nice but I couldn't pay that much for a watch...my iphone will do.

Believe it or not, there's a waiting list for that model.
I found a ladies rolex while detecting the beach on Singer Island Fl. Some yrs back, I thought it was fake.
I took it to a Pawn shop later that day, the guy removed the back and said "It'$ real, I'll give you $400 for it, cash right now." No tks. It had initials and a date on the back.
I took it home and was thinking "I can get that underwater detector I've been wanting"...but then I thought "what if it had sentimental value, maybe her mother gave it to her or it was a anniversary gift from her husband"?
I decided that I'd make an attempt at least to find the owner. I contacted the hotel closest to the place where I found it and told them I found a ladies rolex and if anyone reported it. They said yeah, a guest did report a lost rolex, and gave me her number. I was thinking "this has got to be the owner, how many lady's rolex'$ are lost on the beach"?
I talked to her and she correctly ID'd the date and initials. Oh well, there goes that new detector, but the right thing is the right thing.
I told her I'd meet her in the lobby and return the watch that evening.
Finding her in the crowded lobby I gave her the watch, she examined it closely with a frown and gave a curt thanks, then spun and stalked off. Hmmm. It almost felt like she was MAD at me.
Then 2 guys detached from the background and grabbed me by my arms, lifting me to my toes and hustling me into a empty side corridor, slamming me against the wall.
"What were you doing with that watch?" Asked one of them as they flashed detective shields.
"I found it metal detecting"
"She said you were trying to extort money for it".
"I GAVE her the thing back, never asked for nuthin'". I was shocked.
They eyed me, sized me up, looking at me with hostile distrust, examined my DL, then said" OK, you can leave".
As I was leaving I saw the lady on the 2nd floor landing talking to someone and started to climb the stairs to ask her why she did that, but one of the detectives ran in front of me and said "Nuh uh, get outta here".

My thoughts were that in every barrel there's a bad apple, most people are decent and fair-minded, I just ran into an exception.
I've returned expensive jewelry b4 and it was gratifying to see the relief and gratitude, and they've given me gift certificates to restaurants or invited me to dinner, sometimes I just tell them I've been repayed already.
But that's my ladies Rolex experience. I eventually combined some money from found gold rings and bracelets along with $20 a week I put aside from my job and got that underwater detector, a Fisher CZ20.

The experience did not change my attitude about returning ID'able stuff that may have sentimental value.

 

[Peyton Manning]

I had one of those and to be honest I don't like watches without actual numbers

 

[eddiecurrent]

Laffin...I'm just the opposite.

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

Gone.

I like analog watches with arabic numbers on the hours.

 

[dirtwizard]

some of the amazon reviews are funny

I owned a Rolex Submariner in stainless and gold. Played golf, the gold links stretched, heavy watch, rubbed a wrist bone raw and I got jumped twice for it. Both times saved by other people. On top of that I lost 2 minutes a week and because I didn't wear it on weekends, it had to be wound and reset every Monday. Sold it, bought two Seikos and never looked back. Have put 4 batteries in the watches and they keep perfect time. Can't imagine $122,000 for a watch. Thought $6500 was outrageous...

 

[ScubaDetector]

I just had to look. At 122 thousand dollars only one left in stock?? How about only one in stock period?

That's it! I'm keeping everything I find.
