THERE'S ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE

How many times are we warned about dealing in cash to wide boys? Especially Euros, which is one note we Brits do not know enough about. If only he had just gone inside to check one of the notes with an ultra violet light, the car would have sped off.

There are lots of authorised watch dealers who would have given a generous sum for the watch albeit, probably not as high a figure that was offered by the shyster.

There is one ray of hope however, all Rolex watches have a serial number which is registered in Geneva at the point of purchase. If the watch gets lost or stolen, you inform Rolex and it is then registered as such and if it ever needs to go for repair or service with an authorised dealer, it will immediately be picked up anywhere in the world.
