Great Deal or Not Real: Pawn Shop Accused of Selling Fake Rolex

So imagine his surprise when Joe Tully took the watch he purchased from U.S. Money Shops in Fort Oglethorpe to a jeweler.

"I went down to get it serviced at Harry’s Watch and Clocks," Tully said. "He opened it up in front of me and he said this is not Rolex movement and as soon as he did that I drove straight to Fort Oglethorpe and told the guy and they started to say, ‘How do we know that you got it from here?’"

When Tully took the watch back for a refund on Saturday, they refused.

"It made me feel like they were belittling me," Tully said. "It made me feel like I wasn’t important. It was just an awful experience all the way around."

Joe Tully purchased the 700 dollar watch three years ago.

And that’s where U.S. Money Shops takes exception.

"We can’t tell after three years what happened or what didn’t happen with that watch," said U.S. Money Shops Senior Vice President Jabo Covert. "It’s been out of our custody for over three years. We’ve got no clue and we wish we could do more. We want all of our customers happy but nobody warrants a used item, sold used, as is, for three years."

Tully said he’d be happy with a refund but may file a lawsuit if he doesn’t get it.

"Had that customer bought it back within 30 days, we would’ve been more than happy to take it back," Covert said. "Certainly with such a short turn around we would’ve been able to verify the claims a lot more than after three years."

Tully said he filed a report with the Fort Oglethorpe police on Monday.
