help a bradda out here i'm trying :roll:
i can afford a couple gens but not the spendy ones i like so i buy reps too, as i tell all my friends as well(they laugh :lol: ) i wish i could afford the gen 1950 (practicing the secret as we speak) and there is only one reason why i would prefer a gen over the rep and that is reliabillity in the water, i ruined 1 pam already and wish not to ruin another, i wish some one could make a waterproof rep
Just to venture slightly back on-topic and away from the compelling world of wife beaters, I don't think how you dress is really a reliable indication of whether your watch is real or fake. Now, that being said, I think if you're dressed in a brand new Brioni suit, you're much more likely to have people assume that your Rolex is real. But the converse isn't necessarily true. To use my favorite icon, look at Bond in Casino Royale. When Bond was running around chasing acrobat-criminal-guy, he was wearing fatigue pants, a truly awful Hawaiian shirt, and an Omeeega. Just because he's dressed crappy doesn't mean that he's wearing a fake Omeeega.
To go back to the OP's point-- I believe Occam's Razor applies here. That is, the simplest explanation is usually correct. Here, you've got a professional jeweler (and, not incidentally, a professional douche). He sees something on Maxse's Breitling that tips him off that it's fake. He can't quite put his finger on it. He confirms this by handling the watch, but again, can't articulate exactly why he thinks it's fake, so he makes something up. Alternatively, he's just a moron who made a lucky guess. Either way, he spotted a rep for being a rep.

good point but how do we know the brioni suit is not a good chinese knock off?
:wink:
In general, you can always tell a knockoff Brioni because they never get the stripes on the suit just right. In a gen Brioni, the stripes are 15.7 mm apart. In the rep, the stripes are 15.9 mm apart. I mean, come on! You can spot that across the room!
man you sure know your suits, i only have 1 suit, i just never wear em i wish i did but i have no use for them on a daily basis. i remember i tried on a dolce and gabana once, i really liked it but it was a tad bit small, i wear a size 52 and most stores never have my size

No prob man. I only commented on what you said. I didn't need to read into it because it was just there for all to read...
I agree, confidence is vital when "looking the part."
Funny thing I remember was this dude wearing decent slacks and a dress shirt.
Funny part was the pants were like a 34length and his dress shirt appeared to be too big around the collar and the sleeve length was atleast a 34/35 on a guy not over 5ft 7....He wore a rep and claimed it was real....
I never called him out because I guess I have compassion and I think I'd feel just as embarassed as this guy had someone called him out...
I grew up on the West coast FYI.
I have good posture and you won't find a lazy eye on me lol! I didn't mean to sound offended, but people can't take a joke. Someone ALWAYS gets offended and cries about something.
I am one of those than can take it because I dish it. No worries here! I am the most least likely to get offended when someone talks smack. I just want to make sure when they do they get it right
Sure, I wear wifebeaters but not to an AD where they have about 1million in inventory on hand. I'd like to think I have class. To a BBQ, hell yeah I'd wear a wifebeater... The latinas love a man who can wear one provided they are in good shape. Sorry man, I just love latinas. :lol:

How is liking or loving something (that is legal BTW) a generalization?
Prease enlighten me.
Is it because saying the word "Latina" means I like women that are latin...?
It's not a generalization dude It is a preference.
Sure. You make a statement that a group of women determined by race like men with muscles wearing a particular kind of shirt and it's somehow not a generalisation?STUGOTZ said:
I was just pointing out we all make generalisations. You jumped down someone's throat for saying all men in wife-beaters were shifty-eyed slouches, yet you make the same sort of sweeping generalisation about Latinas. You can't give a guy a hard time about something you do yourself and not expect some pedantic twit (that's me, by the way) to pull you up on it.
Just to jump in here pugwash, I agree with what you just said but you didn't quote the part about him saying latinas love men in a wifebeater as the generalization.
You quoted him saying he loves latinas and I give him the point there as that being a preference and understand the confusion.

Hey, who's the barber her anyway? [smilie=bs.gif]
Who is a wife beating latino wearing a fake wristwatch while barbequing a goat?

This is why I like reps of vintage watches. Paul Newman Daytona, for example...
Hater: "Hey, did you know those watches sell for like, $150,000?"
Me: "Yeah! Can you believe that when my dad bought it in 1970 he paid under $300 for it!?"
End of story. lol.
BTW, sorry to resurrect a 5 year old dead thread where a slew of the contributors are now banned. I'm new. Gotta catch up on things!:cheers:
