BEIJING - THIRTEEN years after splurging 240,000 yuan (S$53,000) on a Swiss-made gleaming gold Rolex, Mr Wang Yongxing found out that it was neither made in Switzerland nor a Rolex.
The businessman realised that he had been conned only when he took the watch to the official workshop for repair and was rejected.
'Black cannot be white, white cannot be black. It is a fake watch,' he told The Straits Times, after starting proceedings to sue the sellers for 671,000 yuan in damages. 'How dare they call it a Rolex?'
