Believe it or not there are a few genuine watches on ebay, most are obvious fakes though.

Real looking one

All I can say from my experience having looked all over the place for a Rolex watch, these guy's are really very good.

I think their worth a shot & I plan on purchasing a Submariner from the shortly.

What do you mean 'specialist'? Does she retail them ie bag them up and take the cash. Or is she a horologist or goldsmith?

If she took the cash and bagged them up would that not make her a sales associate? What is specialist about that

No she works for breitling as a representative and promotes the brand nationwide and through most of europe. I dont think there's anything that she doesnt know about the brand!

Anyway, whats this got to do with the rolex the thread starter wanted to purchase for his wife?

Sales associate???? WTF is that? Double speak? You mean a shop girl or as I prefer 'till jockey'.

A representative 'promoting the brand'- does that means she goes around to shops and delivers POS material? In any case it seems she doesn't know much about watches, rather a brand from what you say. Not the brand in question either.
Maybe if she worked for Rolex there might be some relevant information she could help with.

Vapid, many moons ago she was a sales associate with goldsmiths before she landed her job with breitling, so she knows far more about watches than just the breitling range.

Yes i meant sales associate. Although dont ask me what the difference is if there is 1 with a sales assistant? I couldnt give a toss really

What is the fascination anyway as to what my wife does? It has nothing to do with rolex or this thread! I asked a simple question if it was rolex his wife definitely wanted. The answer was yes so thats it

Sales associate is w@nk speak for till jockey.

No fascination with what your wife does other than my usual amazement at the overblown titles muppets give themselves to disguise what they really do............

Reminds me of 'Sky engineer' -anyone who spends the day sticking dishes on the side of lackluster new build estate houses isn't an engineer.

Neither is some drongo who sells things in a shop a 'sales associate'.

anyway back on topic you can usually find ladies rolex at a discount at
AA Time
Blitz watch
Blowers
Secondtimeround

Ladies rolex tend to be discounted and unpopular. Also they are now very unfashionable and rightly so. Mid-size watch is the way to go.
