You cans see your rep points and where the came from in "User CP".All I see is "you have 4,557 reputation points."
Thanks Fiddo for the 4,556 points.
What we are buying is an illegal product made by god knows who in less than ideal conditions. The fact that we get what we get is to me, remarkable. We get QC pics of a FAKE watch. We get a forum of mods who will help the community when problems arise. We get a extremely close version of the real thing for a fraction of the cost.
If you are so concerned with the movement then buy a Seiko. Most people here have low end gens and can appreciate the value they provide. Having just got my Deep Blue back from a repair I can tell you the gens have their issues as well. If something goes wrong with your watch in transit most dealers will exchange it for another. Or, you can service it right away or swap the movement for its Swiss version for an added cost.
I am personally blown away at what $300 can buy you in the rep world and I can't understand people who want gen service and quality but can't/won't pay gen prices.
So, I voted disagree.
I'd give rep points to everybody if I knew how.
Somebody give me some so I'll know how.............:lol:

I don't appreciate the rude and tright remarks. This is the first real thread I've posted after patiently reading guides that most of you participated in. I've taken the advice to heart.
As being a CONTRIBUTING member of this forum SOME OF YOU are way out of line in responding to a simple concern of a newcomer. Get some anger management and learn to control yourself.
Your opinion is noted but one of the major points made is the price for reps are indeed as much as genuine watches and many times exceed them. It would seem people are not reading the entire post before drawing conclusions. :beatahorse:
Further the legality and danger of the buiness is something that they assume responsibility for. If they seem it to be worth risking themselves and their families lives ( as some have asserted the danger to be)
that's their business. Not mine... And surely it has nothing to do with the quality of the product.
Personally I have been homeless for the past 5 months due to reasons that are none of your buisness. Gunshots, murders, fights, etc were common and sometimes even a daily experience for me. Heck... One time some drunk fool pulled a knife on me while I was eating dinner in the cafeteria. Do you see me asking for a discount because of the turmoil that surrounded my life. NO because that's absurd. WHY? Because it has nothing to do with the price of anything.
Don't misunderstand (which I'm sure you will anyway) I'm not cold or apathetic to these conditions one may live in. However as being in just that environment I can honestly say its has little to do with the subject being discussed.
To address all these silly remarks about cocaine.... I'm not a user but I'd imagine that if I was... And I bought some that didnt get me high (I.e. NOT DOING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO) then YEAH... That sounds like a legitimate cause for complaint.
I'm being regarded as unintelligent, having a lack of common sense, being naive, etc. when in reality it's quite the opposite. An intelligent person asks questions to learn more, an ignorant person assumes the answer or doesn't care at all to know. A naive person is one who believes "things" without getting the full scope of the issue at hand.... Which is exactly my purpose in posting my concerns. Further the issues being raised that are being used as an example of demonstrating a lack of common sense on my part were a large part of my life for the last several months. And frankly... It is an irrelevant point all together but regardless is an incorrect one.
Finally... If there wasn't an issue with customers getting a piece of crap that they paid 300$ for then there would be NO NEED FOR QC PICS all together. Just saying.... Things are the way they are for a reason.
Absolutely goddamn right,just boils down to this...
rep game ain for everybody

And this guy is probably one of the "nots" I would be guessing.So we cater to the whims of these dealers , we kowtow , and say "gee , thanks it's almost perfect , wish it would work " grovel grovel
Kill yourself. Please.
Why do many of the most knowledgable, experienced users on this forum feel its ok to belittle and bully newbies/noobs?
Don't like the a thread topic, been asked a hundred times before, shows ignorance / naivety, etc. ? Ignore it, or if you are mod then close or delete it. EDIT: or even better, constructively correct the misguided noob.
Instructing someone to 'Kill yourself' is as low as you can get. Classless, crass, crap.
I know I'm not going to make friends saying the above but it needs to be said.
Because a lot of new members have quite unreasonable high expectation? After they spend a bit of time doing reading and thinking that they have already know very well about how this whole thing works, they want it to be change just because the current procedure is not up to their expectation.
Instead of accept what it is or leave if they find it unacceptable, they want the makers/dealers to change so that it can met their expectation. And out of all this, the funniest part is because someone want to get a fake/replica/counterfeit/illegal watch for the same amount of money but with a standard of QC for gen watch.
Someone who are intelligent and with common sense will not ask anything like this thread, this thread have got nothing to prove but only it own ignorance and naivety.

Yes, I think you hit it on the nail. Newcomers do have unreasonable expectations. But surely, there's a better way to educate newbies then insulting them, right? (not that you are doing this but others have).
Why the need to make personal attacks on other forum members at all?
I totally understand where you are coming from and agree that if the system works (generally speaking, ofcourse) then there's no need to fix it.
But not all newcomers understand this and is it not too much trouble to just tell them that 1) this is how it operates, 2) don't get your expectations too high, 3) learn about modding to help make the watch meet your expectations?
