Yeah when a lot of us were growing up we didn’t have internet and the only video game was pong so we talked shit to each other for entertainment. The best was the mama jokes. Your skin got thicker because you damn sure didn’t run away.
When a lot of us grew up trash talking was what we did for entertainment. No internet and the only video game was “Pong “. Nobody got hurt and we learned something about sticks and stones. It was also how we got to know the new guy and figured out what sort of person he was. I guess it still works but even the worst cry babies back then seem tougher than these fellas

My sentiments entirely, and now I am the old guy, never did me any harm getting a verbal or physical slap ;)

Nowadays we have the snowflake culture, where even a little harsh talk and they cry and whine and call it bullying and hate speech ...........

MEH !!

On the good side you always have a story about a colorful paperweight to talk about with friends and family. How much did you pay for that $75 watch?.
Now that you have found RWI there is a full page of TD's you can buy watches from and get exactly what you ordered. Chalk this up as a learning experience you can put behind and move forward with a new purchase.

Welcome to RWI
I agree, everybody stumbles before they finally walk right… just bought 2 watches from the page of TD’s …thank you RWI for that list. Have been stumbling around until I came across RWI

You've started something now, I have no shame, as many of ya's know ;)

I actually bought this late one night, in my defence alcohol was involved, and it was only £30.00, so about half of what it cost me to get pi55ed that evening ....

PS: On a more serious note, it's been eight months, and the OP still hasn’t responded, despite logging in as recently as last Tuesday, so we know they’re still around.

Dear OP, I understand that sometimes the atmosphere here can feel a bit harsh or even toxic, but rest assured: it’s just playful banter from a group of people who mean no real harm. It's nothing personal, and certainly, no one is genuinely happy that you lost money.

If you continue to engage with the community, you'll soon realize that at the heart of RWI is a shared culture focused on protecting newcomers from being scammed or dealing with dishonest sellers. We’re all here to help each other avoid those pitfalls. That's what RWI is all about and, in fact, the "genesis story" of the forum: it was founded almost 20 years ago to prevent people looking to buy a replica watch from being scammed / taken advantage of etc.

@Geneva Knight

I second what @eBoy said there, we all get ripped at times, but there is rarely any malice, certainly just banter and craic (y)

It looks like a British 1950s Roadster crashed and some crazy artisan with brain damage had a "daring idea" of how to recycle it's dashboard ("Hey, let's make a hideous abomination of a wrist watch out of it!").

When I returned from the pub that night I was watching a late night custom car show, a Brazilian guy building a wicked Hot Rod.

I noticed it on his wrist, googled a bit, and there it was right in front of my beer goggles on Amazon, i was powerless, what could I do ?

Drink 10 cups of very strong Espresso (intensity 10 out of 10), have 5 cans of Red Bulls, remain 1h in the sauna and then snap out of the beer madness, perhaps? 😅🤪😆
Might have been the more expensive and less healthy solution in the end ^^
