The owner of a watch shop in Far East Plaza, Edmund Koh, shared a video of a man trying to sell him a fake Rolex watch for $19,000.
The video was posted on his TikTok account @bruceleekoh, and he captioned it:
“Customer try to Sell me A Fake Rolex Batman for $19000 Claiming His Father bought brand new and lost the Certificate.I gave him a warning he could be jail for 2 year. Cheers.”
The video was the CCTV footage from Koh’s shop, Three Crowns Watches and Jewellery Pte Ltd, and it shows him interacting with the man inside.
The man had told him that his father bought the watch and that it was brand new, but that he had lost the certificate and box, according to AsiaOne who spoke with Koh.
Koh added that at first glance, the fake watch looked very real until he carefully examined every tiny bit of it.
Koh then tried to prove to him that the watch was fake but the man didn’t accept it, and Koh then pointed to the award that he received from the Police in 1981, showing the man he was a former police officer.
He ultimately decided to let the man go with a warning.
