Hi, Gang!
Well, this "special" number kinda ends my ROLEX week (unless I change my mind. (So many to wear and so little TIME.) For many of the vets, this "special" one should be familiar: It's the LAST non "official" rep dealer purchase I made back in '09. From the scammer GLOBAL REPLICA, which cost me more than $220 usd; it arrived via FED EX. and it was a bona fide P.O.S.!! Unlike the bull **** scammers tell you of being able to check out the watch before you accept it (blatant lie). it was very damaged: missing date marker, unbalanced date, bent stem/crown, unable to set the time -- or even wind it; it was truly a piece of shit. Tried to stop payment (couldn't). Dealer wouldn't answer the phone; in short, I was stuck with it. It's after this fiasco I learned to track down this and other rep sites & limited rep purchases to these sites. Fortunately, my lady friend/jeweler gave it to her repairman who was able to kinda fix it (still can't wind it), but it does work, lume shines, and keeps great time. I bought an an after market Rolex bezel for it (yep, the original was scratched) and turned it into this SHARK. Luckily, I learned my lesson: never buy from a scammer. I keep this as a reminder. dave:
