Earl, she's suing for $6044 in damages. Not sure if that's US dollars...



Wed Sep 14,10:22 PM ET

A Hong Kong woman has sued Rolex, alleging that a watch she bought caused her psychological trauma because she had to wear long sleeves to cover up an itchy, unsightly skin allergy triggered by a label on the underside of the luxury timepiece, a newspaper reported Thursday.

Lee Ka-wai filed her claim in the Small Claims Tribunal, seeking $6,044 in damages, the South China Morning Post said. She purchased the $3,866 Rolex Oyster Perpetual in August 2004, the newspaper said.

Lee said the skin allergy — scratchy red dots — was caused by a removable label on the back of the watch, the newspaper reported. She didn't remove the label because she was afraid she would lose Rolex's worldwide guarantee or sacrifice proof of the watch's authenticity, it said.

"Rolex should have mentioned it in the manual or asked its agent to remind customers to remove the label," Lee was quoted as saying.

She said that she suffered psychological trauma because she had to wear long sleeves to cover up the unsightly allergic reaction, the newspaper reported.

The Post quoted Rolex official Daniel Neidhart as saying removing the label would not have affected the guarantee or the authenticity of the watch. He said the label merely showed that the watch was new and most customers removed it, the newspaper reported.

The case was adjourned until Oct. 26, the newspaper said.

And you all thought the US was a litigious country. Good ol' Chinese copy of our American system of justice.

Rotterdam, Geneva

Thu September 15, 19:40

From one of our correspondents. A Rotterdam man has sued Rolex alleging that the watches they sell are too expensive. This has caused him severe physiological trauma because the watch he wants to buy stays out his reach through constant price increases.

Mr. Frans Hens has filed his claim at the local Major Claims Tribunal, seeking 3,990 Euro in damages, the Algemeen Dagblad said. He want to purchase a Rolex Sea-Dweller, which comes to this amount, the newspaper said.

“Rolex should have mentioned it in their advertisements", Hens was quoted as saying. Mr. Hens’s lawyer stated that his client is very lenient because he also could seek damages for the loss of sleep during the past months.

The Algemeen Dagblad quoted Rolex official Daniel Neidhart as saying that they are concerned with Mr. Hens’s condition and would look into this case but refrained from further comments.

The case was adjourned until Sept. 30, the newspaper said.

Yes you could, but they would not give you the free clevage looks ever again, so you tell me, is it really worth it?

And then they'd counter-sue for sexual harassment of the Masor cleavage-laden staff.

You'd settle out of court, with your promise to keep buying a new Rolex every 6 months, only to sell it back to them at a pretty good depreciation, only to have you roll that money into a new and more expensive one.

And you'll agree.
