danicica 0 Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) My friend bought a replica at this website www.alikewatch.com. I know it looks dodgy and probably you guys don't need to be even alerted about it but just in case, a friend of mine bought a replica Rolex Datejust on www.alikewatches.com and received it. The problem is that it was a really bad replica, it stopped working after a day or 2, the bracelet broke, the glass had stains, etc. He returned it immediately and asked for a refund. But eventhough the website agreed to refund or fix the problems in the watch, he never heard from them again. Sad story! :( Edited May 24, 2017 by danicica Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted May 24, 2017 This probably is the gesture while the seller was telling him "Suuuure, I will replace it!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diver Dave 0 Posted May 24, 2017 Not a TD? No warning needed for anyone with any brains.... But thanks. Nothing in life is ever wasted. At the very least it can be used a warning to others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FoxWilde 155 Posted May 26, 2017 To be frank, these scam websites are sometimes good enough to catch a lot of curious people like you and me. I'm glad I buried my nose in research and joined this forum with people who have done some research for me. Here, everyone has each others' backs vs. out there its truly a gamble. Now I can never see myself trusting a dealer who's not in the TD list :) Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diver Dave 0 Posted May 26, 2017 Is this like walking into the chemist and saying "My friend has a case of the clap and wants to know it...." Don't buy watches from non trusted dealers. Simple, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duzza 182 Posted June 3, 2017 Is this like walking into the chemist and saying "My friend has a case of the clap and wants to know it...." Don't buy watches from non trusted dealers. Simple, eh? He's only been here a few days. I'm guessing he didn't even know TDs existed until he signed up after being scammed. Plenty have found this place under similar circumstances.

lipbos 0 Posted July 1, 2017 I'm a bit surprised these scam sites bother mailing anything out at all. It cuts into their profits! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
