this is the area for scam sites, I thought. This website seems to be either selling fake watches as real for inflated prices, or they are franken.
statements like this:
High quality Swiss Automatic movement with 28,800 cycles per hour as per Rolex
Complete original Rolex box set, booklets, warranty holder. warranty card and hang tag - the box is definitely not gen
or this:
Afterset', 'Enhanced' 'Customised' 'Franken' Rolex watches are all Rolex watches that contain both factory Rolex parts as well as generic high quality Rolex parts and are worn by celebrities the World over. Billionaire Arabs, Russians, Americans etc etc etc. Just in the same way that Rolls Royce cars are customised by people other than Rolls Royce themselves, then driven by the wealthiest people on the planet. 'Afterset' Rolex watches make up approximately 50% of all Rolex sales. That is including all second hand sales. This is due to around 80% of all Rolex watches in circulation being out of warranty, being worth less than most Rolex upgrades and being owned by we everyday people. An 'Afterset' Rolex watch is a Rolex, but has some parts on it that have been used to 'Enhance' the watch or have just been used to repair the watch, but are not made by Rolex. These parts can be known as 'generic Rolex parts'.
Usually the words 'Afterset Rolex' means a Rolex watch that has possibly been 'Enhanced' by having a generic Rolex diamond dial, diamond bezel or even a full diamond bracelet added, but without the prohibitive cost of doing so as with fitting factory Rolex parts. Thus making the plain watch far more desirable as well as obviously worth more. Afterset, Enhanced, Customised or Franken means having non Rolex parts fitted to an original Rolex watch. This is not always just to add diamonds to the watch but also covers having a generic bracelet (strap) fitted because the old one is worn out, or a generic glass or winder as well as a generic high quality Swiss movement or movement parts, that are used to repair the watch. The Swiss movements used are built to last a lifetime just as a factory Rolex movement is, with a service now and again.
NB; A Franken Rolex is the name given to Afterset or Customised Rolex watches by the watch geeks on the forums. People who think everyone has £10000 to spend on a watch or that Rolex sell expensive watches out of pride and not to make money. Franken is short for Frankenstein. Boring!
