SINGAPORE — A man who sold a woman two counterfeit luxury watches sued her for an outstanding payment of S$16,000, but he lost the suit when she countersued on the basis that the timepieces were fake.

The court ordered him to pay the woman S$28,000 that she had given him for a Rolex Datejust Diamond watch, with interest.

She paid Mr Hon for the Rolex and both watches were delivered to her. However, she withheld payment of the remaining S$16,000, saying that the watches were not authentic. Mr Hon accepted that the watches were sold on the basis that they were authentic, and that the watches that were examined by the expert were actually counterfeit.

The district judge ruled in favour of Ms Tan. The judge accepted that the watches were not authentic and found Mr Hon's claim that the watches had been swapped to be"unsubstantiated and speculative".
