It doesn't matter how good your rep is

Just wanted to share this thread I recently came across on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/amc0ft/rolex_the_screen_protector_dude_is_rocking_a/

It's funny to see how all the guys immediately scream fake just based on the guy being a chinese screen protector street seller.

I'm not an expert but to me it looks pretty gen-like. Polish is amazing, SEL is good, bezel is accurate, dial looks good.

What do you guys think?

I would first have to examine his yeezys in order to make an educated guess..

How do you see it? From a pic taken 1 mile away?

Yeah, like I said I'm not an expert. From this picture it looks legit to me. But who knows...

Anyway, I just found the reactions funny which are soloey based on the fact that this guy is a chinese screen protector street seller.

Quite difficult to say, Crown guards and SEL look nice, but the "N" in "UNITS" seems to have a weird font and the numerals seem a bit thin, but still you cannot say that for sure, could be a gen

Lol what a joke. Could very well be real. These guys can make real money. They pay 10-20 cents for these and then sell them for 3-4 dollars. I knew a guy who would sell umbrellas on the street. People looked at him funny. The funny thing is he would profit a minimum of $1,000-$2,000 a DAY! and all cash. don't look down on someone for what they do for work. If you're good at it you can be very profitable

I am far from being a Daytona expert, but I can repost the photo for the few experts on this forum who can really identify a watch like this from just a photo...

Looks gen to me

Looks 100% better than the one I don’t have.

exactly this. those doubting the authenticity of the watch based on someone's occupation are just snobs who think they're snowflakes.
