Awesome Offer! Genuine Rolex Submariner! It comes with an official certificate from the Swiss Horological Society. Valued at over $8,000, but available for $6,000. A free crocodile skin wrist strap valued at $400 if you pay cash!! A GREAT BARGAIN: BUT BE QUICK!! It won’t last long!!
Abhinav liked watches, and fancied himself as an amateur collector, so he went in to the store and spoke to the salesperson, Celina behind the counter. Abhinav pointed to the Submariner watch and asked Celina: ‘Is that a genuine Rolex Submariner?’
Celina, who was Joyce’s 14 yr old daughter and only worked in the store part time, said: ‘I think so. What does the sign say?’
While Celina read the sign, Abhinav examined the watch: he could hardly believe his luck! It looked like a genuine Rolex, and even though it was second-hand he thought it would be worth at least $8,500! Abhinav then said to Celina: ‘Don’t worry I can read the sign.’ Celina replied: ‘Ok, but I have to ask my Mum.’ Celina then ran off to fetch her mother, Joyce.
When Joyce arrived at the counter she smiled and said: ‘Wow, you picked a great bargain, what colour strap would you like?’ Abhinav replied: ‘Black please.’ Joyce placed the strap and the Rolex in a plastic shopping bag. Joyce then said: ‘Here’s the official certificate of authenticity from the Swiss Horological Society, see the watch’s serial number matches the one in the certificate? This proves it is genuine.’
Abhinav handed her the $6,000, in cash, and Joyce handed him the receipt. On the receipt in addition to the details of the sale (Watch model, price, date) there was the following information, in small font (size 8) at the bottom of the receipt as follows:
Dear Valued Customer,
Whilst Joyce’s Vintage & Second-Hand Watch Store Pty Ltd takes all care to guarantee the fine goods sold in this store, all goods are sold at the buyer’s risk, and we are not liable for any defects whatsoever. However, Joyce’s Vintage & Second-Hand Watch Store Pty Ltd may, at their discretion, exchange a good for another of a similar price.
The next day (13 March 2007) Abhinav visited Sumit another retired wrestler. Abhinav proudly showed his Submariner to Sumit and said: ‘Look I bought this watch for only $6,000!’ Sumit had a close look, and then laughed. ‘You’re crazy,’ he said, ‘I bought a Rolex just like that for $25 last week in Hong Kong: see?’ Sumit then showed him his fake watch: it was exactly the same!
Abhinav laughed and said (in a weak voice): ‘No, mine is different. I know everything about Rolex watches! Anyway it came with an official certificate!’
However, Abhinav was worried, so he took the watch to an official Rolex dealer in Melbourne, and sadly for Abhinav, the watch proved to be a fake: a very good fake, but one obvious difference was that the fake Rolex was powered by a quartz battery, whereas a genuine Rolex was a self-winding (automatic) watch, powered by the wearer’s arm movements. Abhinav was so embarrassed he decided he could not tell his friends because they would laugh too much! He was always bragging about his knowledge of fine watches! Anyway he liked showing it off to people, and only Sumit knew the truth.
