7000 Fake Rolexes Steamrolled in Philadelphia
U.S. Customs authorities oversaw the destruction of about 7000 counterfeit Rolex watches at a contractor’s site in Philadelphia. The fakes met their fate under a multi-ton double-drum steamroller, which ran over the watches about 10 times. Customs officials staged the destruction to highlight law enforcement’s role in protecting intellectual property rights. The watches were seized from Binh Cam Tran who is serving six years in federal prison after being convicted of trafficking in counterfeit goods, conspiracy, and nine counts of money laundering. Binh was also ordered to pay Rolex USA $2,273,166 in restitution.Authorities say Binh fabricated hundreds of thousands of fake Rolex watches in his home near Philadelphia. Officials seized about 24,000 counterfeit watches, and enough parts to create 1 million more.Photo: Steve Sapp – U.S. Customs and Border Protection

Does anybody know anything about the Royal Oak Chrono "Kasparov"?
Speaking to a friend earlier, he made me aware of the Royal Oak Chronograph Kasparov. This is something I've never heard of and all I can find are chrono24 sellers charging more for Kasparov models.Is there any information regarding this and therefore any tips on how to differentiate between a Kasparov and non-Kasparov; or is it all a load of rubbish with sellers just bumping up their prices? Thanks in advance!

Show me your 36mm AP RO
So I'm looking to to get a 36mm AP RO for my 30th early next year. I have smallish wrists so think the 36mm might suit me as I understand these wear larger than say rolex 36mm DJ. I've loved the AP RO and ROO for a while now since my boss and a couple of colleagues showed me theirs (a ROO and a RO titanium chrono), they just look so right and are an absolute design classic that will never go out of fashion IMO. Look forward to some pics!

True RO grails... 2 down 1 more to go...
Love them... what's next? Maybe a 'GC' one day. That should fulfill my 3 grails... one day, some day!
