200 TRF members incoming...
(don’t mind - they’re a better crowd than those WUS people)
i think they’ll be a better crowd after spending some time here. When you mention issues there, some of them just clam up and start whining like an 80 year old nagging wife - complaining/bitching for the sale of complaining/bitching but not saying anything.
Theres been a few times where a listing has been politely pointed out to a seller as a rep and they tell you to “fvck off”, so you go to the mods and they say “if you accuse people of selling replicas, you’ll be banned”. And then 3 days later everyone is trying to wipe egg off their face.
Reps happen. If they weren’t such douchebags over there - completely in denial about everything and rude to everyone (because god forbid someone might know something they don’t) things would be a lot better and maybe Rolex owners wouldn’t have that stereotype of being douches.
Like that one idiot “I know they claim/they’re supposed to check every part for authenticity, but the movement was real so it’s your fault for not being understanding of how/why they sold you a fake watch for $20+k. And also Rolex knows watches get frankened... so the 7 guys who supposedly checked that watch and failed to do their job get a pass”. Or how he said “Rolex didn’t say the movement was fake. Only that everything else about the watch was fake so it’s okay to have sold you that”.
Its funny to read though.
But it it is interesting that a Rolex Service Center had to take in a replica and physically run the serial number to determine it isn’t authentic. I always say that you can hand these reps to most Rolex owners and they’d never be able to tell the difference. I mean, apparently you can hand it to a Rolex Service Center and they can’t tell under a physical inspection.
