Taiwanese actress Janet Lee found her husband gift is a fake Rolex after 18 years!

                                                                     Janet Lee with her husband Alan

Taiwanese actress Janet Lee revealed her husband had given her a fake Rolex for 18 years, thinking it was real, illustrating how even wealthy individuals can be fooled or choose fakes, though this isn't about a Hong Kong celebrity.

In HK friend of mine knowing one of the top 10 richest real estate tycoon told my friend his Rolex was actually fake, asking why, the tycoon says yes and so what?

“When I wear Fake no one will say it is FAKE! LOL!”  Issue for me is when I wear an authentic Rolex some of my friends told me it is “Fake!”    

So does it matter real of fake?? Only can you pass your judgement point to accept that is a Fake Rolex or Patek on your wrist.. If you feel it is good for you then who can care?

 Note: Selling Fake Watch in HK is illegal! Using Fake Watch in HK is not supposed to be illegal but when you catch carrying more than a few pieces of fake watch at customs, that may be a big issue!

Back to the story of Janet Lee, this is what she posted on her Facebook:-

Janet took to her Facebook to share that her husband got her a green Rolex for her birthday about 18 years ago. 

Janet, however, said she didn't wear her Rolex much as it did not suit her style. 

One day, she took it out, only to realize that it had stopped working. She then brought it to a shop that specializes in repairing luxury watches. 

There, a shocked Janet was told that her Rolex was actually a counterfeit one, and that they would not help fix it. 

The staff at the shop also recognized Janet, which left her feeling extremely embarrassed. 

"My face looked green as the watch!," she recalled.

At that time, Janet went home to confront her husband for getting her a fake Rolex. Alan, who also got the same watch for himself, replied: "How could that be? Was I scammed?"

Alan said he bought the watches from a shop in Hong Kong. He later asked a Hong Kong friend to return the watches and get a refund."

Interesting part is that:

1. Who will refund you a watch bought 18 years ago and after that long time ago, you told the shop the two Rolexes were fake and he got a REFUND!

This is my thought

1, if the shop is a second hard shop, they might sell some fake to some new faces or tourists but after 18 years, who will accept that this is the actual watch he bought? 

2. If that is a fake watch there should not be any traceable Serial number on the watch and there should not having any proof that is the same watch he bought 18 years ago. A Fake watch usually does not come with warranty paper.

3. I can rule out that the two Rolex were not bought from any official Rolex AD or boutique.

I can say is that he was scammed even he was not aware and he told his wife  got refund just to make her feeling comfortable. I think he is not honest at all. 

There is still one possibility, as someone bought it known as fake to her wife! 

Anyway, I think the beauty should deserve an authentic Rolex.
