This morning one of my usual watch sources called me up with a new Rolex Milgauss. He said it had its original box but not the registration card. I said I would come look.

When I got there the watch looked beautiful...hardly a scratch. It had the lazered inner bezel, the crystal glowed green, it had the unique new Milgauss clasp and the bracelet was immaculately machined. When I got out my Rolex wrench to remove the back he told me that his watchmaker, who I have known for a long time had already looked at the movement and that it had the right numbers etc. Luckily I insisted on opening it anyway. When the back came off the watch had the properly marked inner Milgauss back...hopeful. When I opened the inner back the watch had the arch shaped freesprung Rolex bridge and was marked with the appropriate 3131 Milgauss caliber movement with its two red reversing wheels.

I thought to myself...OK, this looks like the real deal....but something just seemed a little weird. So, I picked up my iPhone and googled Rolex 3131 movement pictures. I clicked on the photo that looked like the movement which was in the watch in my hand and it came up with a Rolex Clone site

I studied the subtle differences between the real 3131 and the clone. As good as the whole watch was...it was a fake.

Read what it says on the bestclones site. Talk about fraud. I have been buying Rolex watches for almost 30 years and this one almost fooled me.

What a world we live in.
