Complaint Review: Rolex Montres Rolex Montres Rolex SA Movado TAG Heuer Breitling Heiniger Omega Allison - New York New York

Hello, I happened to read your posting on the Rolex company ( or myth ) and all of your warnings. I'm just an average consumer who was lucky enough to inherit what I believe to be Rolex watch and wanted to ask you a couple of questions please. The watch is a stainless steel model with a silver face. On the face is the usual crown with the words Rolex Oyster Perpetual and then the writing Air King. I looked at your list of knock-off models and didn't see air king there. Did I get lucky and get a genuine one and to your knowledge did anybody knock-off this model ? The inside movement has two red revolving gears and two gold ones. The top revolving weight has no writing on it but the top of the the movement says Montres Rolex SA -- unadjusted 17 jewels -- swiss. However, the hairspring is missing ???. The crown has the Rolex crown and is a screw-down type and the hands turn freely. If you have any thoughts or repair suggestions I would greatly appreciate them. You can reach me here through the forum or at [email protected]. Thanks and have a great day ! deano

This same guy claims that the Roland G. Murphy Watch company is a ripoff company. It is filed under Rip Off Report #69753 with the name as follows: Scott from Black Hawk, Colorado U.S.A. The gentleman is so sure of his facts that he cannot use his last name for fear of being sued by powerful companies that would take this kind of slander seriously and sue him. I am highly doubtful that Scott has active employment as this kind of effort takes time to conjure up the conspiracy theories he has represented here. I would support litigation effort as he is proposing to damage the reputation of companies that have worked hard to attain perfection in all they do. These same ludicrous assertions written here are made against RGM Watch Company. In fact it looks like a cut and paste report as he couldn't come up with anything other than the same nonsense that he is writing about in this ludicrous claim. He is deciding to share drivel against Rolex Watch U.S.A. Inc. which is the U.S. subsidiary of the Swiss watch manufacturer Montres Rolex S.A. and it is one of the most respected and revered watch companies in the world. He claims that Rolex is essentially involved in a conspiracy to inflate prices, post messages under fake names so they can praise the brand over and over again, and, the most absurd of all, that they are taking $15.00 watches and selling them for as high as $100,000. He also claims that independent studies have proven that many of the parts inside of a Rolex Watch are made in China and, an insider is running around upset about these practices and, denouncing the fraud to all who will listen. To all who have read this report and the one made against the RGM Watch Company I say the following: Folks; think for yourselves. This is the day of the internet which is a fabulous tool if used correctly to learn, teach, inform, enlighten, share cultures, broaden our world, entertain, etc. It is also a tool that can cause damage to others and misinform. It is a tool that cowards use to cause damage to others who are more successful for fun, out of envy, out of hatred towards people that have more than they do, etc. If this story was true wouldn't you believe that he would cite legitimate sources, wouldn't he use his real name so as to get credit for exposing the biggest rip-off in history against one of the most well known watch manufacturers of our time. I would think that he would be proud of exposing such corruption at the highest levels to ensure that Rolex started engaging in better business practices than what he is asserting is taking place presently. This is a scam folks, from someone who has nothing better to do with his time than to enlighten us with ramblings that are untrue, unfounded, libelous, and insulting to anyone who has the ability to think critically. I am a watch collector with a small watch collection. Fine watches are well made and expensive and I am not rich by any means. I have a Rolex "Z" series GMT Master IIc, a Rolex "Z" series Stainless Steel Date Submariner, a Roland G. Murphy 160m Chronograph, a Tag Heuer Kirium Chronometer. I read books, studied the brands, tried on many, and researched extensively before I bought a single watch. Hans Wilsdorf created the Rolex Watch Company in 1908. If you truly want to learn about the Rolex Watch Company I would suggest a Google search and look up the history. It is a fascinating story of a man who created a company that he wisely set up as a private trust prior to his death so that it can never be sold or traded on the open market. As a trust it is set up with it's own foundation that funds watchmaking schools and other arts. Go check out an Authorized Dealer of a Rolex Watch and try one on. The quality is there. As a fine mechanical timepiece it has a heartbeat of approximately 28,000 Beats Per Hour or, 672,000 beats per day or, 245,280,000 beats per year or 1,226,400,000 per five years when it needs servicing. It's accuracy is an amazing 99.9% when you factor in the gravitational forces exerted on a watch that is in many different positions throughout the day. That is an amazing feat that I would like to see Scott reproduce since he is trying to pass himself off as an expert conspiracy watch theorist. I rest my case.

It started with a normal transaction on a ebay supplier named Victor Popescu from Romania that he supplies motorola razr mobile phones. I asked him if I can purchase one unit for a trial, and therefore he refused all means of payment execpt for western union. I wired him the money to the address str primaverii NR 13A , Saltina , Romania. What he did is had taken my money and never shipped me any goods. So watch out for him , he sends e-mails from [email protected] and uses several other e-mails to cheat poeple. I paid him somewhere around USD500 plus the extra charges of shipping and western union fees. He is a cheap person so beware !!!!!
