At first glance of this watch back in 1997 i said to myself, "One day i will be rich enough to own this magnificant piece of wrist wear". Well That day has come and gone. After 14 years of stealing money from my parents, robbing the local thrift store , and selling my body off for money, I have finally achieved the funds necessary to own this piece of history. Upon paying the for this well priced wrist artifact(45,160.50) I had to pay 5.50 for the outrageous shipping cost. Right then and there i realized that my dream jewel could be a hoax. After paying for the cheapest shipping and recieving my item in 47 business days, i finally was a the moment i had been dreaming about since i was a young school boy back in Virginia. I had finally recieved my watch and was moments away from putting it on. After putting it on and staring at it in awe along with my family and friends, I noticed the incredible weight and balance of the watch. It weighed in at 14 and half pounds. and was case heavy!!!!the sparkly silver coating was indeed silver like the advertisement said and was indeed a rolex. The first real test was when i went scuba diving off the coast of Somalia. I swam to a depth of 2365 feet and the case cracked...even though it was advertised for 3000 feet. The next test it faced was during an in flight emergency over the wealth city of Jabuddi. The plane burst into flames and crashed. Only myself and my watch survived. However it wasnt until 3 weeks after the crash i noticed a half millimeter sized scuff on one of the bands. I was furious. I had payed for a watch worth more than Pamela Andersons tits and what happened? It recieved a scuff and cracked case because of false advertisement. I tried returning my item to the dealer when they told me i had forgot to purchase a warranty. So in the end i had a broken dream watch, zero money, a bruised bumhole, and pride shattered to pieces. My advice to you is to not by this watch.... Its not worth the price even though it is a deal of a life time.........
