Imagine you walk into the a watch store as it happened to me a while ago:
I had a jf 16610LN with a GEN datewheel installed which has the sh3135. My friend went to purchased a pre-owned Rolex 16013 from that store . The shop keeper saw my watch and he immediately said: "nice watch! This is about 2003-2007 model right? Can I see it? "
I gave him the watch and didnt say a word, he unscrewed the crown and turned it clockwise and the hands moved clockwise. Then he screwed the crown back in and said these are very rare and hold on to it as long you can.
Ewphimagine it had an ETA movement? What an embarrassment that would have been.....

Never happened to me / can’t see that ever happening to me.
It also says more about the ability of the shop keep than anything else.

imagine passing a fake watch off as gen to a dealer - what an embarrassment that must have been.

That's exactly the point! SA3135/SH3135 reduces these problems. As you want to wear a watch that is as closest as possible to GEN.

Well, passing of a fake watch as a GEN is not going to happen to a dealer. Because selling would be an entire different process where they take the watch apart for verification, and as soon as the open the case back they will know it's a fake.Never happened to me / can’t see that ever happening to me.

But when they ask to see the watch just because they want to look at it that's a different scenario.

Well, firstly wearing a rep in an AD is absolutely no go on the forums and I would be very careful leaving that there as you could get a ban if a mod spots it.
And secondly, unfortunately these jewelers get mugged off all the time. Some simply don't keep up and waste tens of thousands on Chinese fakes.

Thank you for your comment.
Not sure where you are located. But here in Canada no Rolex AD sells a 16013 model, and I never said that I went to an AD, so not sure what you're even talking about?
The watches here are brand new in Rolex stores and all must be the latest models, not older than 1-2 years .... lol

An AD...jeweler...watch store...watch boutique...they are all pretty much the same, and it is not only stupid to wear your rep into a store selling authentic, high-end watches, but it can also get you banned on RWI. You've only been hear a month (and you are mildly entertaining) so you will get cut some slack, but what you did is a big no no.

1. To join RWI you must NEVER in the past have worn a rep inside a watch shop?
2. Can you please show me the rule that says when you wear a rep watch you CANNOT enter another watch store ?

You've been here a whole month. Do some reading. You do NOT wear your rep into a dealer selling authentic, high end watches. Anybody who has spent any time on this forum knows that. Members have been banned for doing so. Start reading.

If trailboss99 says we cant wear a rep watch inside another watch store then it's clear that these discussions are not permitted here.
But, when we get your brand new watch from TD I am sure most of us put on one of our best outfits, maybe a sweetass leather jacket, and a pair of nice brand new shoes, and enjoy our little priceless walk outside....
...isn't that what life is about?
Or should it be when your are in the mall and just before you enter inside a watch store slowly take your watch out of your wrist (try to make it look like no one can see it ) and put it inside your pocket while its obvious to everyone else that you're wearing a fake watch

I did. Its says that one cannot brag about fake watches. What I said was not bragging to others that I had a fake watch and tried to pass it as GEN. I was simply questioned and i kept it quiet, and as I said "i didn't say a word".
The point I was making was that SA3135/SH3135 is closer to GEN than ETA.
I don't encourage people here to wear rep watches inside Rolex stores. As a matter of fact I don't have the guts to wear a fake inside a Rolex store. If i do, i make sure its tucked in so no one can see it.

Here is the cut and dry
we do not condone the action of wearing a rep into an AD OR Store selling high end watches. We don't want to hear about it.
if you do such silly things and come bragging about it here we will ban you and any sock accounts you make from this forum and share all your details with all the other rep forums so they can locate and kick you out or block you from joining
it's that simple. DONT DO IT, IF YOU DID DO IT, DONT TALK ABOUT IT HERE, IF YOU TALK ABOUT IT HERE YOU WILL BE BANNED
