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

So poser care to explain YOUR buying of reps and posting some pics of your gen Rolex you know the one you bought from Trusty lol.
Seriously? The same thing.......WOW The hook is deep
Problem is you are NOT getting the same thing. You are not getting an in house movement. You are not getting a warranty, You are not even getting any value at all used. You would lose less buying a real SUB and selling it in five years! You are not even getting a Rolex/ You are getting a watch likely made by people who really don;t care much and are not getting paid much to recreate that which you think you have. You are not fooling anyone but yourself. Anyone who has thousands blown on reps really needs to understand watches and what it takes to build a quality piece that will last for genrations not weeks, not months but decades.
This isn't "high Art" Its counterfeit and has no real value outside the few hundred dollars people who want a certain image but don't have it or don't want to pay the price for it, They have no heirloom to pass down. Just a piece of junk at the end of the day that has no value unless others are fooled. I know that BUYING them. You seem to think this is high art. No its's not. My Hulblot is Junk. I can't sell it, I cannot hand it down. I can only wear it until it stops then throw it away with my WBK $160 Rolex. That admittedly looked good at first sight,
I bought these watches and know what they are and more importantly what they are not.
No value used? Take a look at this. And guess what! It's sold! http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=204484

interesting perspective. I said it was under 900. either way, it was modded, recessed bezel screws, movement serviced, AR on crystal, waterproofed and super lumed.
Value means different things to different people. I don't know why you are so quick to judge...
Feel free to hate on me
Answer the question and post gen pics of your gen Rolex of Five will kick your ass in his suit.
And no I'm getting a watch built by someone who cares a lot more about it than you can imagine. As far as I'm concerned the very high end custom reps are way cooler than any gen because any tool like yourself can walk into an AD pick out a watch from a case and buy it. These custom builds can take years for the person to source and assemble all the parts and put them together with a passion and love for the hobby and the watch but no matter what anyone says to you your just not going to get it.

See, now that shit is just funny.
Alright enough of this guy I'm tired, have fun with him guys.
I had to take a break from work (yea it's late at night here and no I'm not flipping burgers) because some of the requests I was reading on some of my cases were downright ludicrous. I come here and see it's the same. Stop the insanity!!!!!
I will post my GEN and WBKs SUB side by side here Monday afternoon. My sub is boxed and ready to go to the seller. But my 14 comes in Monday FedEx and you will understand what I mean. I initially was interested in REPS as a replica of what I already have.Nothing more. But realized Any place I would not wear the real thing is no place I should be wearing a fake.
Then I saw the Hublot and really liked the style. Looked at the real thing and did not see $5000. I looked at Seiko, Bulove and Citizen, even Movado for something like the Hublot and did not find anything like it. So I bought a couple. Maybe someday I will buy the real thing.
I bought an orange and black M2M Project X Explorer II here and felt foolish wearing it so i put it up for sale. The sale got nuked because I was throwing in a 15 year old YM I had not worn in years and bought a Seiko Sport white dial because I liked the YM look. I saw a Rolex I thought looked good M2M and the buyer sent me to WBK. WBKdid not want to take PayPal so I backed off. He made an exception and I bought it and when it cam it looked great, Actually better than I expected. After wearing it a day I noticed the Pearl was gone. I looked at my gen and realized the pearl was too small, then realized the first bezel marker was too short. After seeing that i realized it was not as good as I thought and was not going to wear it and will replace the pearl and leave it in a rest room for some fun.
In the interim i saw a 14 Gen with the glide lock clasp and solid bracelet lugs and made a deal to trade mine for it. I packed it up and will send it off Monday after I receive the new one. I currently have two fake Rolexes and an old YM I will likely throw away, I don;t need a replica of what I have I have Seikos and Skagens and a few other watches I can wear if I don't want to wear the Rolex. Soon I will add a Brietling to the mix.

OK Not bad.....But not wrth $800. Took me 3 seconds to notice the largest flaw...
Look at the 12 indicator No space between the lumes. Nothing a .05mm magic Marker could not solve.Could be the angle though, , The numbers spaces , The whole watch does not have the finish feel of the genuine. You paid nearly $900 for THAT? NO hate here...PITY MAYBE IF you HAD to pay $800 to get that watch to look like that I would hate to see what people are buying for $380.
Not even close unless you are Stevie Wonder

You come into this forum here as another member has mentioned " like a drunk guy trying to pick a fight "
What the hell is wrong with you? Well i think you're lucky you're behind the keyboard as i won't be surprised if you were the
drunk guy getting kicked in the ass for having an attitude of such & talking like that. Something must have gone wrong during your growing up years.
You're a typical example of the member who never is satisfied with the rep watch. You talk alot but you fail to understand that the rep industry has improved
so much over the years and if it was that easy why not try to make one yourself? Something in your standards is 1:1.
ah whatever your thick skull probably won't get this and you'll have something to type back as all f-offs do anyway.
King what I don't understand is the other night in the chat box when you received your Stan sub you said it was so close to your gen that you were considering selling your gen sub. And immediately we questioned that because Stan sells low end watches. Not bashing Stan here. But they are not even close to gen quality. But you did say it looks just like the gen. That's why we questioned if you really had a gen because you would k ow immediately especially if you have the gen that Stans way h is not close. But you were so impressed with it. And now all of a sudden you say its nothing lime the gen. So I guess I'm just confused a little. And on the subject of financial status and what rep a person should buy. If that were the case I should only own a ten dollar Walmart watch because I would be Willi g to bet that I'm one of the poorest people on this for. At this time. I don't care what people think of me. I buy reps because I like them. I could care less what anyone thinks. In fact I tell people they are replicas and people are always impressed at the quality. I don't buy reps to try and fool anyone. I get them because I like them and I can't afford a gen. And I hate pateks. But if there was one I liked I would buy it even if the gen cost a million dollars. Because I don't care. I. Of out to fool anyone and I'm proud of my reps. But I buy good quality reps. Not low end reps.
Sorry about the spelling. Computer blew up again and I'm typo g on my damn phone and yes. I need a girlfriend. Lol.
You mentioned your Canal Street rep was 15 years old. I've still got one working that's 25 years old. Why can't they last decades? Same ETA/Sellita movements in gens. Not everyone uses in-house movements. And $1500+ every few years for a Rolex service at the RSC does not exactly make a good investment. Later, even they can't be trusted with it when it gets older, and you have to send it to some of the good old watchsmiths who are dwindling by the day. There are some stunning reps at $1500 that you could throw away every few years and still be ahead. And, hand it down? I'm sorry, it's just a watch. I can hear it now: "Grandpa, I'd rather have the cash" as he or she takes it to the pawn broker to buy the item they want if it's worth much of anything later. Styles will change way too much in a few decades for most of today's watches to be in vogue, and it is even more unlikely you'll have a WIS in the family you could hand it down to. The reps are generally less than 10% of the gen price, making them purely disposable when no longer functional or wanted. We're in a disposable society, gen or rep makes no difference unless you get into the quad tourby territory or dozen complication or more watches and talk real art. A "gen" maker taking a stock ETA and putting a couple decorations on it isn't exactly making art either. If I were a WIS, I'd rather be seen wearing the Canal Street rep you left in the bathroom than be caught with a gen TAG (no disrespect for you TAG lovers, but can you even give that away to another watch lover?). I have friends who are seriously embarassed they own gen TAGs. They put them in the same class as Movados. They won't even wear them. Nothing wrong with the watches, some people just see them as cheap fashion watches and tainted the perception of the brand. I like quite a few of those watches, and they can be had for way less than a nice rep. Whatever watch you choose, wear it well and in good health.
