POFEX

[gmc504]

Figured I'd ask a stupid question in The Stupid Question Section (that has a ring to it, I'm looking at you moderators). I see under a bunch of folks user names it say POFEX. I'm sure it's a play on "Rolex" and I'm guessing it's some sort of ranking system depending on post count? Anyone care to enlighten me?

Side note: I am not insinuating that all post in the flame free zone are stupid questions. But it does seem like the best place for one to do such a thing.

It's just a misspelling of Rolex...as the Chinese commonly did on cheap early reps.

As far as it being under your username, it's when you reach a certain number of posts it will appear...(not sure of the number tho)

Titles appear after a certain number of posts-----------------> https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/7833-Dark-Side-Levels
Supporters' can enter their own titles, FYI.

Also, little Breitling wings appear based on total post count. I've seen the Pofex designation, not sure where it came from, though. It doesn't seem to fit in with the others?

Oh... It's the second sticky in the FFZ...where I was just at...lol. Forgive my ignorance of the term dark side. Thanks.

Haha needed to search up this. Was wondering if the moderators just had some fun with my profile :adoration:

I'm ashamed to say I almost would like to see a "pofex" rep... maybe even buy one for the laughs.

I think my early NoobMariner has the Pofex back. It was certainly made in "Shiterand"

Thank you

I assume "DO NOT TRADE WITH ME" is not a designation like POFEX which you get for a certain number of posts, right? Where does that come from?

Other than trailboss99, does anyone else have the big gold Breitling wings for 20k+ posts?

Think this might be a neighbouring country

 

[trailboss99]

LOL, now that's a new one on me.

Love it.

I always wondered about this. The more you know eh!

 

[noobwatch76]

It may be time to come up with something for a 40k post count. Head Honcho - Cat Herder aint far from it!!
