Neat article. Makes you wonder, how many reps have suffered some of the same fates? You really don't hear of members braking their crystals, unless they just don't say anything about it.

My friend busted the crystal on his Breitling Bentley in a car accident.

I like the OEM QC disasters. Just goes to show it isn't just rep makers who have bad days.

Interesting stuff, and the dishwasher test certainly puts many owners of gens minds at rest on TRF who were worried about wearing their Rolexes in hot summers lol

Goes to show you we can be very anal about flaws in reps when in fact the gen can.have them as well.

This tells me 2 things never buy a rolex and secondly the guys who bought one and smashed, dropped, snapped, shattered, chipped, froze, boiled, washed, left in grease, oil, diesel or whatever will of course say that there prestigious luxury watch was fine cos lets face it you would feel an utter tit doing something like that and telling the truth that you screwed your rolex

I am going to run all my watches through the dishwasher... they get water tested the hard way and a bath at the same time!

Markers falling off, bezels detaching, ink running out on dials... Coming to the conclusion that reps are more reliable than we think!
