Rest assured folks, this is another PAB lie.

You know something?

That proves nothing. Show us the COA!

You dont need a COA or warranty cards when you've got a case opener. I popped the back, the movement is a real deal.

Yeah, I guess it would be pretty hard for a faker to stamp 'rolex' on the inside. :roll:

Yes, its incredibly easy to be stamping ROLEX on the inside on a genuine rolex movement. Its hard to copy this though:

Um, YOU took those pics while you had it open, right? :D

Nope. Those are thanks to google.

That looks like an old watch I used to wear - it was a genuine Timex...er...Rolodex...er...Rolex too. I stole... I mean it was a gift from Elvis Pres... er, I mean Jimmy Cart... er I mean THE KING OF SIAM! Yeah, that's the ticket. The King of Siam, Yul Brynner gave it to me for my birthda...no, Christmas...uh...FOR BEING A HERO! I ran into a burning building and saved Ivanka...er, I mean...Morgan Freeman, no... MORGAN FAIRCHILDE (with whom I've had sex). Me the hero - why, they even wanted to put me on a coin... I mean, make a holiday for me... uh, I meant MAKE ME THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! But instead, I told everyone I would just take the watch. And that's how it happened. I swear. That's the ticket.

Thanks, man.

For those who don't know, Tommy Flanagan was a Jon Lovitz character on SNL who lied with every breath.

Hey, that 13 year old was an ass. I had that car sold locally but I had to tell the guy that there was a sale pending on ebay. He cost me money!

How is it not hard to believe there are 13 year olds on ebay who have nothing better to do than interrupt peoples business?

And its not a "cobra" its a stock 2+2 car that's halfway towards being a half decent clone

A few grand later, I walked out with a nice two tone Rolex GMT :D

This thing is nice!

Let's see a pic of the dial of the watch.

I'm going with fake judging by some of the things PAB stated such as he opened the case (An authentic Rolex will have a screw down back with exactly 144 small teeth. You can only open a Rolex case with a special Rolex tool) and the winder on PAB's folex looks smooth. A real Rolex has a crown with three small dots under it on the side of the winder.

Again, I'd like to see a pic of the face of the watch and the back. Also, show one of of the clasp on the band.

knowing PAB's history i would say fake until someone else can verifiy it.


but it really wouldnt suprise me. people in need of money fast make really dumb decisions.

A guy my dad knew (not really well) had ot leave the US in a emergancy (guess he owed the wrong people money) so he sold my dad's business partner a 40k car for 15k (can't remember what car it was. just the figure).

he just needed cash to get out of the US fast.
