Didn’t take them long to start popping out the fakes.
Quite impressive how they can do this with such speed after a release - guessing they (the crooks) must be on a list also to get an original so fast to copy. Paypal efficient as always I see🤦*♂️
He got the £9100 back. Says at the end of the articleOriginally Posted by blackal
Always purchase from a known trusted source. 9K down is a hard lesson to live with.

They're slippery for sure. Won't be long until there's a landmark case in the courts which puts them in their place though.
The DM have a habit of either exaggerating or fabricating news (and weather forecasts for that matter). As someone has pointed out in the comments this might just be a case of ‘if you are going to fork out a packet on a secondhand watch, be careful’.
He’s not 9k down. He got the cash back plus £100 for his troubles
Can’t believe someone was greedy and stupid enough to think someone would sell the new Pepsi GMT for £9000? Surely he was purchasing to rob, I mean sell on for a profit 🤗
I think absolute greed took over from sense on this guys part for sure!
Clearly it’s not his fault but I would assume some more in depth research if someone’s selling the must have Rolex way under what you can get!!!!
I’m guessing most people would have been able to figure this one out as it’s nit exactly an elaborate crime is it😏

I realise that - but they didn’t act according to the contract. It shouldn’t have got to the stage it did, before remediation.
Yes, and not everyone will have the DM, FWIW, in their corner.
I love that their (DM’s) solution to this whole thing is:
“Perhaps it might be best to avoid buying expensive second-hand watches.”
That could just be a reference image of course.
Trading standards were aware of this on 26th March; I really don’t think it was a new GMT!Can’t believe someone was greedy and stupid enough to think someone would sell the new Pepsi GMT for £9000? Surely he was purchasing to rob, I mean sell on for a profit

The Daily Mail have just found a photo of a Rolex online and used that; it just happens to be a photo of a new Pepsi.
Edit; I’m not 100% sure that the thread title shouldn’t read “Counterfeit article by the Daily Mail”!

Image seems to be a reference picture of the Rolex GMT Master II, by Leon Neal at Getty.
Its use predates the DM article, for example, here.
I never saw the model of watch mentioned in article.
And you can buy privately aswell just be sensible and use common sense. When I sold my watches, I had one guy view the watch at an AD and another knew exactly what to look for.
The Daily Heil, not even fit for toilet paper, certainly not as a source of news.
Why would they need an original? Take the same fake case set they've been using since the first ceramic GMT came out and then change the colours. Easy done. Probably already in the works as soon as Baselworld release.
The Daily Fail and wiki seem to be the 'default' reference point for some of our fellow forum members, ''experts'' not wanted.
