An Italian man attempted to defraud a Singapore watch dealer by selling what he believed was a fake Rolex. However, the watch, valued at RM331,000 (approximately $89.8k), was genuine. In a twist of fate, the scam turned into an 'impossible' crime as the retailer discovered the authenticity of the timepiece.
This incident highlights a surprising turn in the world of luxury watches, where the Italian's attempt to cheat the retailer backfired spectacularly, leading to a genuine transaction instead of a fraudulent one.
