Gen Owners Have No Idea...

Yeah I remember that. That was funny! One of the reasons I stopped helping anyone on gen forums about Rolex. Let them sweat.
Breitling, on the other hand, is a different story.

NICE SUB DUDE
There's like 3-4 guys over there that are experts on fakes, the rest of them, meh.
And the "we don't say what is fake about it because it will help them make better fakes" line is hilarious.

Used to be an active member. Not anymore. I haven't clicked on the link yet but I do hope you didn't post all of the tells or can still delete them. Let them work
Yup.
And the best experts are probably all rep owners otherwise how the fug else would they know the differences?
:cheers:
WUS isn't much use anymore. I point to the Breitling area in particular. They are so protective of their advertisers that stuff all useful info is able to be shared.
Most gen owners have lives, they have money they go into a AD ,drop several thousand bucks on a watch ,and live there lives, they don't obsess the details and look at blown up pictures on there computer screens all day ..LOL

Not the ones on TRF and WUS who drop thousand bucks and look at blown up pics on computers.

As a Gen owner I had no idea about the world of reps until I stumbled across these forums. Nor did i know that a whole community existed about this stuff. I would not have thought twice about that thread in the past.
I know it's one big jolly to show just how convincing reps are to the gen forums. But I know that from hanging out with this community for the past few months, the purpose is never to defraud others by selling reps as gen.

I also got pretty annoyed about the ban on the discussion of "best price." The whole "open market" idea espoused by Adam Smith, which so many people rely on snippets of without any understanding of his material, assumes bilaterial equality of information. Asymmetrical information in a market creates inefficiencies.
I realize that the entire Swiss watch industry relies on inefficiencies of adding emmotional value in a market decision; however, an enthusiast site should not be adding to the inefficiencies by promoting information inefficiencies. It hurts the buyer members; further, in hurts the industry as a whole by allowing the pricing distortions to propagate.
