I am typing this from my cell at San Quentin - block 3 unit 15. They call it the "PC" block aka protective custody. During a flight back from NYC on one fine evening I spotted an obvious fake submariner with bad date mag and white ceramic insert font. I hustled over to the TSA security agent and ratted him out. Unbeknownst to me, the TSA security agent was actually hurk and he saw that i was wearing a vietnam gen spec 1675, but the R on the dial had too short legs, so he proceeded to lock both of us up.

Because of the fact that I ratted the other passenger out, I am now placed in protective custody. The other guy has been throwing little scraps of paper through my cell window every day with some nasty threats.

Watch out for Hurkel. He'll probably have somebody on the inside try to shank you.

Last week I was travelling to the states, wearing my new ARF with a jubilee bracelet, you know, the super rep. The TSA agent working noticed the thick font, and the crown touching the railway of the dial. He then pulled me over to the side. I tied to play it off cool, but then he took his swabbing stick thing that they look for drugs with and found trace amounts of Chinese dust present on the watch. He then explained to me that they can differentiate Chinese dust from poorer areas where fake products are made from where people who would wear a Rolex are from. Anyways, sadly it’s confiscated but what can I do eh?

Whilst wearing a PAM 057, I was "randomly" selected for a pat-down. I told the homely looking TSA Agent that I usually had to pay extra for this kind of service. She said that I was asking for it with the tight slacks I was wearing ... Austin, TX airport, Tuesday, September, 25, 2018. Nary a mention of my watch. True story.

Excerpts from A Clockwirx Red by diverdown60.
The following is a real story:

When they confiscated mine, the TSI agents escorted me into a room deep within the bowels of the RDU airport. They made me remove my ARF 116650 Black Ceramic White Dial A4130 904L. Once they had it, they passed it around taking turns looking at it. Then the TSI director appeared from the back room. He took the ARF and proceeded to check the sub dials to see if they were operational. Once he discovered the sub dials at 3&9 were "frozen" , he turned to me and shook his head in disapproval. He then tossed the daytona into a pile of watches marked by a big Replica sign. The agents grabbed my arms and sat me in a chair. The chair was overlooking a large pile of Replica watches. The agents then strapped me tightly into the chair and placed little wire hooks inside of my eyelids. This forced my eyes to remain wide open, I could not blink, could not look away. There was a big female agent that kept putting saline solution drops into my eyes to prevent them from drying out.
Suddenly, I heard a large machine start up. It was a rather large machine that had a huge roller on the front. They made me watch while the roller proceeded to roll over and pulverize the once shiny pile of replicas into a pile of crushed glass and metal. Main springs were jutting into the air as if reaching for help. I swear I could hear the difference in the cracking sound the gen Crystals made from the rep crystals.
The entire time the roller made its way back and forth, crushing and smashing, the agents were all laughing, such a wicked laugh. All laughing maniacally in unison. A projector flashed pictures of Chinese factory workers in cramped, dirty little rooms being forced to assemble rep watch parts. The photos continued to flash repeatedly and rapidly. My eyes painfully moving back and forth in their sockets, my mind exploding with images. Images of replica Rolex and Omegas, Breitlings and Pateks. Chronos and tourbilons, asian made eta copies. It was all more than I could bare.
I suddenly blacked out, lost in a horrific nightmare of innocent replicas being ravaged by the roller. I was in replica hell! I could hear voices chanting in Mandarin, repent ! repent ! Amazingly transposed into english and in surround sound Dolby sound.
Then, as suddenly as it all began I awoke. I found myself and my carry on bags standing alone on the tarmac. What had happened? Had this all been some type of horrific paranoid dream? Would the guilt I felt deep inside remain? Would my very psyche be wrought with eternal scarring? Would I be able to cross the tarmac safely as flight after flight rolled down the runway? Would I be able to get an Uber to take me home?
Would I ever be able to wear another replica when traveling?
These were my thoughts as I dug down deep into my special custom made concealed pants pocket and retrieved my favorite TCV7LVX.
As I strapped on my trusty TC, I marveled at it's incredible reserve. Proudly, it was still running smoothly and only -3 seconds since I had last set and wound it 48 hours prior.
The end!

Like many of us on here, I also travel, I travel two - three times a week, all of my flights are domestic so I usually go through the same gates. Unbeknownst to me, the TSA agent who I thought had befriended me, noticed my multiple watches, and had placed me under TSA surveillance to see if my watches were reps. Well upon discovering my watches were reps (although some were gens) I was turned into the FBI, who later raided my home, took all of my watches, pirated DVDs and placed me in federal prison.
I hope my story keeps others from committing the same mistake I did. The rep game is not for the faint of heart!
