hey all,
tczao reached out to me saying the following:
"I want to buy my first Rep watch, and looking into rolex.
I own a lot of retail stuff, and in a circle of friends who wears lots of retail as well including Rolex, Patek etc.
I want a watch that I am not able to be called out on, one of them is working in a jewellery store, but more likely if they post a legit check on my watch in a Facebook group called "rolex fakebusters" which some of them might do, I don't want it to be a watch that they can tell, and there is a lot of expirenced guys inside that group that knows most about rolex. I saw the review you made about the Rolex Submariner v2, is that the go to in your opinion to not be called out, or what are your thoughts? I Really like the design of rolex, I just can't afford it and would be very embarrassed to be called out."
Can we help him out here? Thanks
It's part of the hobby. If you get called out where your friend gets called out just tell him save $9,000 and have the same bang-for-the-buck that he does. I used to tell him you were foolish to spend 10 grand on a watch then I give them mine to look at and the painful look on their face says it all
I think you misunderstood me, or that I did not explained it good enough.
when I say circle of friends, I mean that i have lots of friends owning a real rolex.
by myself I own a lot of stuff that not all are able to afford, designer clothing worth well over a price of an sub.
in that industry I am well known, and have a good reputation, as I sell a lot of authentic stuff and done it for years.
I looked into watches, and wanted a rolex, but I do not want to spend that much on an watch.
the only reason that I am not going to tell that my watch is an replica is.
if we pretend you are going to buy something of me, and you then saw that I was wearing a fake watch (if you are not into the replica game) then you would think bad about this seller, and do not look professional in front of others eyes. I am able to afford a gen rolex if I really need to, but I rather want to spend them on something else.

I looked at seiko watches already, but it is just that I have a thing for rolex. I like AP, and Patek as well, but that indeed would not unrealistic spending 80.000$ on Patek watch example
Rolex Sub, Daytona, GMT master etc. would fit me perfectly, and I like the design a lot I just want one which is very very hard to be called on. I am well aware that rep is perfect compared to retail, but I do know there is very good replicas out there. I been looking on the ZZF v2 REF 114060 on this subreddit (https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...393323-zzf-ref-114060-v2-vs-gen-honset-review) and consider this.
I didn't try to be rude or anything like that, I have done research and also found out that the ZZF V2 is the best. the only thing I am asking, is which based of the best reps made is the best rolex buy in terms of accuracy to the gen. I am not asking specificly for the submariner, but in general what rolex would be the best to go for.
when I said friends, I meant those I work with in this industry as it would humiliate me to be called out on a watch when my business is to sell authentic clothing this would give very bad impression to customers.
