red1 have no desire to really sell it but I did put it on the market to gauge buyer interested for exactly what I paid for it.
Well, for starters, I surely hope you didn’t offer it via RWI’s PM system, also not by putting up a FS ad, as you obviously do not meet the selling necessities. That would be considered backdoor selling without a proper sale thread or wtb.
legend why when anyone posts a franken build such as Beasy franken etc do you have to point out the floors? Let people enjoy their watches no need to put them down saying things like ‘you need gen hands to complete the build’ these parts are unobtainable for the masses and the OP knows it. Just let him enjoy his watch he’s put so much effort into without the thought it’s incomplete without such parts...
Let me ask this again, what’s so wrong with mentioning flaws here and there? Like legend has said, it’s happening on NUMEROUS posts of reps, new releases etc. What makes it so wrong to do so on a franken piece? Rather be happy to have someone as knowledgable as legend still have the nerve to go on here and educate people about flaws and help them out in various ways. I for one can not even be f’ed anymore because I got so much better stuff to do than help people here and there just to be discredited by people on the other hand for pointing out flaws and being an ‘asshole’. Been there, done that. I don’t need anything from most people on here that would need my help, they do. Same rules apply to legend. He has forgotten more about AP than most people even know about it.
Because all you do is go on threads and keep saying Frankens will never be Gen and you sold all your frankens and only have gens now. So if you don't have any reps and frankens any more, what are you doing on a rep forum?
Criticism is one thing, but them you follow it up with your, I can sport a $100,000 watch look at it. No one cares how much money you have and of you have a half million in watches- This is a rep forum. Not everyone has the money you have, but flaunting it and shoving it in people's face make you look like ever other rich asshole that does that. Did you possibly think that maybe these guys that are building these frankens are doing the best they can with the means they have? Maybe they love watches and they don't have the money for the $100,000 gen. And I know some of them do have the money to buy those gens, nit some don't. So saying look at me here is my Gen, not v1 or v2.
And then pointing out someone's accidental spelling error is even more pompous. They are not here writing a paper for the NY Times, they don't need you to correct them. A lot of people on here English is there second, third or even forth language.
If Gen is Gen and these frankens are so bad, go to TRF (yes I am sure you are on there already) but then you will not have to comment and insult people because everyone one there has plenty of Gens and I am sure some have more money than you and better Gens.
Stop trying to be the big fish in a little pond, no one cares but you- This is a rep pond!
And whatever long reply you have to my post- I don't care. Fact is you have been posting non stop on how Gen is Gen and a Franken will never be Gen, people are tired of hearing it. Stop insulting everyone that doesn't have the money you do. I can tell you- I don't have the money you do - I can't afford a $100,000 watch. That is why I am not on TRF posting pictures of $100,000 watches, if I could afford them, I would be there not here. But I can afford a few gens that are only 10k to 15k and a few Frankens that were 4k and some modded reps. And you know what, I am no better than the guy one here that had to save up to buy a $400 rep because he was putting food on the table for his family. Most of us are here because this is our hobby, not to bash other people's efforts to do the best they can with what they have.
How do you think someone feels when they saved up, sourced parts that were hard for them to find, them waited for one of the talented modders on here to work tjeir magic, it finally comes all together and they are proud to post pictures of it; then you come along. Look at all the flaws, it will never be Gen, bla bla, bla. Not really a nice thing to do.
And for whoever replies on my comments, saying he is just pointing out flaws like everyone else does on the reps- it is not the same thing by any stretch of immigration. Saying it will never be gen and them posting pictures of his gens says not v1 or v2 is condescending.
They are plenty of people on here they have constructive criticism- he is not one of them!
So first of all, WHO TF ARE YOU to ask ANYONE what they are even doing on here? Additional to that, you seem to care a lot about how much money someone has in watches as that seems to be all you talk about in that whole paragraph. Ironic, don’t ya think?
The ‘Not JF’ addition is simply a joke between several people on here that have called legends watches the v4s, he’s just clearing up the confusion for noobs that kept on asking him where he bought such a sweet JF and where they could get the v4. But that is no need to be explained either, do some reading or use common sense and you might understand it, if you have the humour for it. If not, well, guess what, that’s unlucky.
Hurting feelings of other is no ones goal on here although I am sure that I know one person that will be a tad butthurt in a bit too. It’s always been like that and always will be, you wanna survive on RWI? Have a thick skin, if you don’t have it grow it, if you can’t better move along. Take a trip to the brig and you’ll find yourself amazed by the amount of people that have been thrown there because they expected anyone on here to be super nice to them because this and that and titties. It’s not, handle it or move it.
It was stating facts. Consider yourself lucky, I don’t comment on the flaws because as you seem to care so much, you wouldn’t wear any of your watches anymore. :lol:
How is it condescending if it’s a FACT?! Any franken of that nation will always remain that- a FRANKEN made up and built together with both fake and genuine parts, some more of the gen, most less of the gen parts. And that, as I have said, is a fact, don’t you think?
I can assure you, there are not plenty of people on here that have an eye like he does. Most of them have moved on and left the forums for good because of people bitching about them like you do here.
Literally the best people from this hobby, the ones that have really MADE this hobby what it is today are no longer on here because of this. Because people get butthurt and start to argue when they try to educate others by pointing out a flaw in their own way respectively but still.
Father of ALL franken Offshores, and a very good and close friend of mine, is gone from the forum for that, you want me to go on? I’ve had a long hiatus from here myself before I came back to become staff and the same applies to legend. I could go on and name you lots of OGs from here and other boards that have left because of the evolution of this hobby. Most are keeping it private with friends that they have made in the time they’ve actively been doing it and it is sad to see. It makes all of it exclusive instead of having one big bunch of people being able to talk about the stuff everyone is up to like it used to be.
Most of the frankens and builds you see on here are nothing compared to what other people that are not sharing their stuff on here or the boards in general are pumping out, believe me.
Anything else?
