spotted my first rep today

[pilworx]

was at the grocery store and while perusing the cakes in the bakery section i saw this middle aged guy with his wife looking at the bun section. i immediately caught the Sub on his wrist but it had one of the newer oyster bracelets with the polished center links, just like my GMT. made sure i got a good look at the bezel to confirm it wasn't a GMT, Sub for sure. if i'm not mistaken a black faced standard Sub with that bracelet is not a reality for a gen.
i felt so smug standing there wearing my rep Aquaracer...teehee.
or perhaps not....

 

[fakemaster]

That doesn't mean it was a rep. Gen owners change stuff out all the time.

 

[golgi]

My uncle wears a gen GMT with a jubilee bracelet.

 

[rooster133]

Maybe what gave it away is the fact that he was in the bun section

 

[pilworx]

yeah, sheesh, at least i was buying a cake.
:lol:

 

[wat44]

I can say that I have never "called out" a rep, although I am sure I have seen plenty. In my opinion most are reps if they are on young folks. Living in a big city, I see plenty of folks with $10-20K time pieces on. There is very little chance that most can afford that much of their income on a watch.

 

[COLDI]

Even if I notice a watch I usually compliment it. Rep or gen regardless.

 

[sean.d]

maybe he was lookng for a repli-cake.....lol....

+1 gen owners are so much more sophisticated, only to be found by the crossoiants

 

[fakemaster]

Or the cheese section at whole foods.

 

[wat44]

has anyone used the "RWI code" question in real life (found in my signature below)

wat$$

 

[fakemaster]

I say we make hats and tee shirts.

 

[wat44]

I say we make a special RWI sub. Maybe someone :roll: could be commissioned...

unique serial number...

wat$$

 

[wat44]

FM - how hard would it be to change the T to a W in "certified"

almost no one would see this secret RWI in a "OFFICIALLY CERWIFIED" sub

I vote for this with SUBMARINER and a red dot on the seconds hand

each member buying one gets a unique number

huh huh?


wat$$

 

[fakemaster]

It would be cool to know that someone from RWI just passed you.

 

[Q5?]

If bumped into someone from RWI, I would flash my

if I had them. (hint AHW) :lol:

 

[wat44]

I guess youre saying it would be too subtle

a RWI member wouldnt even notice...

you are probably right

well, I still want the watch!

:mrgreen:
