Sometimes its NOT the watch that gives it away.......Its the wearer.

I understand that JAFO. But Real dealers selling $24,000 Smufs are collecting PayPal payments from strangers on Forums. I just did so. (No not a Smurf) lol Yeah they sometimes want the buyer to pay the fees but buyers rarely do the seller discounts the watches enough to cover shipping and PP fees. I want protection especially when buying a watch for over $300 (which I have not done with a REP) from a nefarious source who gets it from another nefarious source.

I bought a watch from WBK. I was extremely impressed at first glance for $160 when it came and said so. The the pearl fell out within hours LOL, and I looked closer at the bezel and realized it was deeply flawed not only the size of the pearl but the bezel markers. Everything else looked good. I WON'T Wear that watch. I ordered a pearl and will give it away, I decided since of ALL watches, I won't wear a fake Rolex. When someone asks I will want to claim with confidence it's real and I will be telling the truth. Only because they are the most faked watches made.

IF the bezel was right I COULD have sold my older gen which I ended trading it anyway but to buy the new style clasp and solid links on the new no Date SUB Gen on Thursday and getting it Monday. I will post pics of it next to WBKs in that thread.

I have decided that especially When it comes to Rolex I just don't want THAT watch to be a fake. I don't mind telling people the Hulblot is a rep of a $5000 watch IF they ask. No one I know will ask. But I don't want to have to say my Rolex is fake. Because so many are. And why should it be. I can afford the real thing.

And why do people wear fakes? They want others to see the NAME no? EVERY watch is imitated by a number of well known copy brands like Seiko,Citizen, Invicta Otherwise they can buy a real nice Homage, or even an Invicta the king of reps. If it is only about the Design. but no.... the name "ROLEX" has to be on it. People want to be seen rocking a Rolex. Not a great Steinhart watch made to LOOK like a ROLEX. Has to say Rolex and the crown and rehut all has to be there. People have to believe they have a Rolex. I realized I just cannot do that.

Most people can get away with it because $5000 watches are not that uncommon. I want a real Brietling chronograph. After reading these REP forums, I have no confidence in the 7750 Movement from Asia. I don't want to have to worry about a $400 replica failing. I would rather buy the $5000 one from Costco and have a lifetime service guarantee. So instead of paying thousands for fake watches I will pay that for two or three GREAT gens and a couple of Hulblots becasue I like the style but would NOT pay $5000 for one.

I was trying to be helpful and people go all uber sensitive and defensive as if I called them out personally If you are going to take a fake watch hobby THAT seriously I don't want to be a part of it. Its fake and should be taken as such,

Didn't know the regular price point at Costco was $5K .... most importantly isn't Costco considered "Grey Market" just in case King721 that means not an AD for the brand. Does Costco now offer lifetime service guarantee on their Grey Market time pieces?

Just curious ........

 

[frodostar]

Think that costco do sell Breits, he describes as chronographs , it depends which chrono one buys there are many different models at differing prices, Breitling wont offer a warranty but will service when required (at whatever retail cost) Im sure you would also get a store warranty at 12 months breitling offer 24 months so its up to buyer if they want to go down grey market route, id be very suprised if costco would give you a lifetime warranty on a mechanical watch when breitling only gives 2 years.

I thought this thread is melevceant

 

[cybee]

The wearers of these watches apparently are very young,

I will take that as a personal compliment, thank-you. :thumbsup:

On a sad note I see the Clark Bars are gone now but somebody mentioned Captain Crunch earlier. " Hey, how bout a Fresca?"

There are few if any times when a person sporting a $40,000 watch will be wearing anything but the best of designer clothing, No Kmart sneakers or Shoes R US shoes. Or Walmart brand jeans. If you are going to rock a $40,000 watch such as a Patek Nautilus you have better no be stepping out of an old Ford Focus.

What utter bullshit! I have clients who dress in Costco jeans, Haynes tees and Fila sneakers yet wear 40k watches. In fact one of them wears a Nautilus and that same guy drives a 40yo F250 most days. Why? Because he can.
Hell, there is a 22yo trainee manager at a local Burger King who wears a gold PP Calatrava that belonged to his grandad. I have met a Maccas drive thru cashier who had on his great uncle's D^D issue sub.

Also if you think you tell wealth by the clothes people wear and the cars they drive you have never been around the truly wealthy. People like that don't have to make a statement. I have one client who kept getting tossed out of the yard that was overhauling his 14 million dollar Princess MY because he looked like a local bum. Same guy recently had his early Lear Jet totally refurbished, new paint, interior, glass cockpit and new uprated engines. The plane has a special pouch just inside the door for his flipflops . . . Clothes mean jack shit, how you conduct and hold yourself is what shows.
