SIMPSON WATCH IS FAKE
LATEST: A watch seized from former American football star O.J. SIMPSON to help settle a civil judgment has been exposed as a fake.

Simpson was ordered to relinquish his Rolex watch to satisfy a multimillion dollar civil suit that found him liable for the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman on Tuesday.
But Goldman’s father Fred has been ordered to return the timepiece to Simpson after it was revealed it was a knock-off bought from China, worth just $100 (GBP50).
Simpson had told his lawyer, Ronald Slates, he paid $125 (GBP62.50) for it.
Goldman family lawyer, David Cook, says it is proving difficult to collect the $33.5 million (16.75 million) owed to the families after Simpson was found liable for the 1994 killings by a civil court.
He says, "While we are clearly disappointed with the outcome, this tells us that collecting on this judgment, against this guy, is really tough.”
Most of the civil judgment remains unpaid, although Fred Goldman recently won the rights to Simpson's book, If I Did It.
