I totally agree with Rog that the good stuff is kept for buyers who show care in examining and can tell the weight and quality, also you need to know what face designs and how legit ones should look if you expect to get fakes that pass examination.. Also the REALLY good stuff is getting rare to find down here...

I once bought a black submariner that if you juggled up with my little brothers sub you had one hell of a time to work out which was which.. I think I paid as much as 3500 for that and had to haggle for hours from 8k for so.. He had a full rolex box and papers to go with it for an additional 4k.. I would have had no problems (except moral ones) selling it second hand.. My brother got a 99% 'kermit' sub for 1800 in BKK a year or two ago.. Waterproof, crystal glass, very smooth movement, etc etc..

If you want to pay peanuts.. You only get monkeys.. I used to buy 4 or 5 watches each tour as novelty gifts for people.. Often just cheap bad copied (diamond faced el presidente with ruby and saphire markers that a gay friend had.. Tastelessly kitsch a true riverboat gambler watch. ) ones for fun..

This has been driven off the streets here, and even as a watch fan I think thats a shame.. Buying a fake rolex is not like buying a real one.. I cant see that fakes are lost sales, its a novelty aspect..
