All fraudulent counterfeits basically come from Canal street in NY or "The Alley" in Down town area of Los Angeles.

Word of caution: Rolex SERIOUSLY goes after counterfeiters.
You, as an affiliate of one, for example, can be seen as aiding
and all that jazz. I know about all of this because we used to host
some seemingly innocent watch sales sites which were raided by
the feds. They came and took their servers our of their colo cage with us.
I was like wow! Holy shit! Who were those people? They were selling
them as REAL watches.... Bad bad bad move.

Rolex FIRST goes after those who sell them as real even though they
are counterfeit... because they sell them for the same prices as regular
rolexes.... so you see the problem there...

You can readily buy a fake rolex in LA in the Alley for about 90.00 and
some of them are soooo close to exact they even have real serial numbers and shit.... hologram sticker on the bottom exactly like real ones and etc.

Every time I buy a rolex (I own a few) I call rolex about the dealer first to verify the watch and that they sold it to them to sell to me. :-) Safety first.

See ya!
