The goldsmith told me about a bloke the other day who'd brought a 'Rolex' in to seek confirmation it was genuine. He said I asked how much He'd paid for it and where he'd bought it. The buyer said £6,000 and he'd bought it off a friend's mate. He told me he told him to sit down before he told him the result of giving the watch the once over. He then said I told him it's a fake, probably worth about 100 quid! The bloke went white and didn't say much apart from "ah well, you win some, you lose some", then thanked my friend for checking it over and walked out. So there we are. My neighbour got ripped off for £237, but eventually got her money back. Could the buyer of the £6,000 fake Rolex get his money back? Probably not as he said he paid cash in hand for it. So he won't be getting any help from his bank (if he has one) as he doesn't have any proof of a money transaction. I suppose he's now looking for the mate's mate who sold the thing to him!!
