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

Excellent idea - it's about time that this thread died a natural although I have had a good laugh along the way. Now where can I find those Clarke's bars in the UK?

I completely agree. Rolex (like Harley Davidson) They both sell "lifestyle" They are a MARKETING company first. Why else would it be the most replicated watch in the world? Its not price. There are far far more expensive watches that won't get the street cred a Rolex would.
..Its reputation and marketing. People will pay for exclusivity, in cars, restaurants, clothes, even hair dressers.
Rolex does not make a great timepiece. no better than a Timex in its initial purpose. They make and sell a lifestyle. So enticing 1000's of people will spend $400 on a Chinese watch to take part. So at the end of the day KNOWING this. Of ALL my watches the Rolex must be the real deal.

The guy is a attention seeker, that's all. At the moment were playing his game there's nothing of substance here.

I wasted so much time reading this thread.
This is for saying we get money from our TD's. :finger:
I volunteer like the rest of the staff. We've protected thousands of members from scammers. I haven't got a cent for it.
Get lost troll.
Yeah but you know what?
The members, the real members, DO appreciate it !
Rep points Bro !
+1 I'm very grateful for the hard work and support of our diligent mods and members.

On the point that you said our dealers are the ones making the money, that's not exactly true. they make an average of 40 to 50 bucks per watch and more if it's a more expensive watch. at least that's what my dealer makes. Take into consideration all the work that goes into making that 50 bucks. Time is the biggest factor. My TD works 12 to 16 hours a day. fielding emails and replying, finding answers to the questions people ask, contacting the factories to see if watches are available. then the time it takes to go out to the factories and markets and hand select the best example they can find for us. This is not as easy of a task that people think. A good dealer inspects and must go to various places searching and inspecting many watches before they accept one they think is good. Then the time to take qc photos and send them to us. then to package and ship the watches. All of that for 50 bucks? hardly a glamorous living in my opinion.
and to take into account the risk they are putting themselves in everyday. risking a lot of money, and getting caught. They deal with getting their paypal accounts frozen from new members that file disputes or just people that want to scam them. That's why no dealer will accept paypal from a new member. Our dealers have lost thousands of dollars on a single sale because of this. So there's a reason they won't accept paypal until you are a known member and buyer. I wouldn't risk my paypal either.
They have overhead. the larger dealers have many employees that they have to pay. They may sell larger volumes of watches but their overhead is also much higher. So their profit margin isn't really that great considering all of this.

So, all he wants and expected is $160($190 if you count mighty expense of a replacement pearl) to be exactly like $8500 watch. Give these Chinese people $8500 and see what they could do for you.
On one hand you said you don't want replicas but on other you are ok with whoblow? Lots of confusing shit there.
Also, please post some new shit. You keep on repeating yourself.

Earlier, he was saying that this forum and mods made money off of TDs and that's why they are protective of them. Some reading would go long ways.
Blah blah blah. This thread is old and tired. You really seem to have tunnel vision on this topic.
I mingle and work in many many circles, and the only thing i can say for sure is you need to get out more.
There are two types of people that buy a $30K watch:
1. A person that believes $30K isn't very much money.
2. A person that really f*cking loves watches.
In all your blabbing and preaching, you are ignoring person #2. Guess what kind of people participate in online watch forums?
I've met people that drop tens of thousands on absolutely ridiculous stuff. Sports memorabilia, comic books, coins, artifacts, art, etc. These people are passionate about that stuff, and that's what they spend money on. Not as a last resort for throwing away excess cash, but as a first choice for spending it.
You're obviously not a watch lover at all, otherwise this would be crystal clear to you. You're a poser, braggart, and bling lover. Go make your comments in @fakewatchbusta it @rolex_enforcer's instagram, because those are your people, not us.
