Hello all,
I'd like to test waters and see if anybody here is interested in buying any of the following: Rolex Submariner (2 of them), Rolex GMT (1).
I purchased a replica Rolex a few weeks ago and after wearing it for 3 weeks I have decided that it's actually keeps pretty good time (My fake sub runs about 2 minutes fast every 8-9 days).
I liked it so much I purchased more. Why did I buy more? I'm a poor student trying to make a little cash on the side to pay of my loans - I think these fakes that I've bought are of much higher quality than what I've seen in other replicas.
Here's what I have for sale: 2 Rolex Submariners (1 worn by me for 3 weeks, 1 unworn); and 1 unworn Rolex GMT, the descriptions for each watch are as follows:
1) A worn, black bezel Rolex Submariner with 1 visible small scratch on the top of the band (you'd have to look closely to see it)
Details on the worn Rolex Submariner:
Movement: Seller told me it's got a 21 jewel automatic Japanese movement - I cannot confirm this because I dont have the tools to pry off the casing to double check (automatic = no need battery, it's got a weighted piece of metal that swings around and winds up the watch when your wrists moves the metal pendulum). The movement is a 'sweeping hand'; it's obviously not as smooth as the real deal, but it's pretty close.
Features: The watch is pretty neat, it's got a 'hacking mechanism' (when the crown is unscrewed completely, the second hand stops - supposedly, this is kinda like the real rolexes). The watch has a functional date window, and as far as it's been working the past 3 weeks.
Cool things: This fake watch also has the hologram sticker on the backside, but i peeled mine off cuz i think it's lame. You cannot see it in the pictures, but there's a tiny Rolex logo etched in the glass surface at the 6 o'clock position - the real Rolexes have this logo to deter counterfeiting, but apparently the fakes have it now too. Once the crown is fully unscrewed, there's a little black rubber seal around the threads - this is another feature that i noticed was lacking on some fake Rolexes. The links on this band are held in place by tiny flat head screws rather than pins - i don’t know if other fakes have this feature. There are also rolex logos on the clasp mechanism itself. The weight of the watch is also pretty good, the head is heavy, i think the bands are made of either aluminum or very light steel - either way; the watch has good weight to it. The bezel on this watch is also very tight, it 'clicks' and feel better than my $100 fossil, and my $300 invicta diver. I cannot testify to the water resistance of this watch, I've gotten water on it when I washed my hands - it still works fine, but I'm haven’t gone swimming in it or anything.
I didnt take any photos of the worn sub, cuz it looks just like the unworn one except it's on my wrist.
My personal opinion: This is one of the best replicas I've owned, and I wanna sell my 3 week old fake sub for profit: $175.00 OBO.
2) A new, black bezel Rolex Submariner - $250; Pretty Firm (similar grade replicas are selling more online, I have not found a replica at this quality cheaper than my posted price).

The watch still has the fake sticker on the back side. The bands are still wrapped in the plastic. I have not observed this watch on a daily basis, i cannot testify to whether the watch keeps as good of a time as my worn Submariner. As far as I know, the date function works and it's also got the automatic 21 Japanese movement with a mineral glass surface. I also have not dunked it in water, so I don’t know it's water resistance level. The seller who I bought it from claims it can survive splashes and showers - I haven’t tested his claims.
3) A new, black Bezel Rolex GMT - $275; Pretty firm on the price.
Details: It looks like the submariner, it's black. It has an extra hour hand to tell time from anther time zone. The bezel is also black. It also has the tiny rolex logo at the 6 o'clock position. I have not photographed this watch yet, i'll take pictures of it if anybody is interested in buying it.
I have photos of the unworn sub - i'm going to try and upload these pics right now and hopefully it works. I've never done this before.
I prefer to sell locally (I am located in Los Angeles, CA during the week, and Cypress/Cerritos during the weekend). The reason why I want to sell locally is so the buyer can touch and feel the watch prior to buying, and I'd rather not deal with the hassel of shipping and risk damaging the watches. I'd also like somebody to purchase one first and post their opinion on the watch.
Buyers may contact me via email: 'mfyen@ucla.edu', I am open to reasonable offers beside my posted price, and I am wiling to meet up with interested buyers.
