Has anyone ever taken their watch to an AD and passed it as a gen without taking off the casing ? If so which watch and factory?

This post sir may get you banned.. First and most important rule, stay away from AD when wearing a rep

An AD wants to sell You a watch. If he recognized You wearing a rep he would just say: Oh, what a nice watch You have, may I also interest You in this model, Sir?
Or maybe a new strap for the beautiful model You are wearing?
You haven´t fooled him, he´s cleverer than You and knows better. What would he gain in calling You (or anybody else) out?
If You are bringing it in for service it´s different, he has to tell You.

Why would you do that? Would take a kit car Ferrari and park it on the gen dealer's forecourt? You wouldn't would you because that would be rude and insulting so why would you propose to do the same to a watch dealer?

Oke, say he spots a fake and then thinks to himself "Hmm, that's a fake but damn, it's a very good fake. Fakes that good will cost me money so why are <insert gen brand name here> not doing something about it?" He then complains to the gen brand and tells them to crack down on these fakes. Gen brand then becomes more proactive at stopping the "flood of high class fakes" to keep AD happy. We don't want that!!!

Think once, think twice, think don't be a dick and don't take reps to an AD.

Let's cut the OP some slack and give him another chance. The medieval courts had jesters. We need our own court fool.

I just went to a Torneau and Omega AD recently wearing my very accurate, decorated swiss eddie lee pam217. Went right into my pocket. Plus, how do you try on watches when you're wearing one?

Lol wow I just got absolutely roasted. My bad guys. Am a newbie have spent countless days and nights researching and have come up with a bit of information but still a little difficult to narrow down a selection.
Thought I could get some help.

I remember reading a post with someone fooling a shop until he told them it was a rep so I though I could get some similar stories..

All you have to do is search and read a lot, all the info you're looking for is here, you just have to take your time and (once again) read.
