Why Reps

[GenOwner]

I found this forum after the Rolex forum went down I have been doing a lot of reading and I have a few questions. I see thread after thread on who makes the best fake closest to the origninal and I see other threads that state I buy fakes for me not to fool others! That is a lie why would you care to have the best fake if you were not trying to pass it off as real? I hear about people wanting a quality time piece but then they buy a fake Rolex just because it has a name does not make it quality.

Why don't you save up money and Buy a Tag and have a real Gen and not some knock off. Tags are very nice watches and I am sure you would get more satisfaction from owning a Gen then some knock off made in China.

I would rather have a real Tag then a knock off Rolex any day!

You can stop asking this question in multiple forums. This is your only warning.

Can I keep calling him a tool in all the different forums?

 

[TexasFright]

I like how he put "save up" Money like we are all poor hahaha. I'm not rich but I could go buy a $1k watch if I wanted lol...not a 5k watch though hahaha

There's actually guys on here with mixtures of real and replica, There are some "replicas" (I wouldn't really say rolex but others) that look near exact to the gen and have an as reliable movement. I prob would never buy a gen Bell & Ross when you can get a replica that looks and run's the same for $1000 less.

Its your money, spend it the way you want....

Oh and you're a fool

 

[johnnydeepsea]

Oh man you are asking for it get ready. If you did more reading here you would know that the members here have a great love of watches and they know what they are talking about. As for the DSSD you are looking for I have a Gen and I have learned more here then on the Rolex Forum.

I am not sure if you are here to just brag about what you have but this is not the place for it. If you really want to learn about the DSSD then read the official DSSD thread or you can pm me for some questions but if you are just looking to stir up trouble then I would retreat

 

[GenOwner]

Johnnydeepsea, So you say you have a Gen then why are you on a fake site? I find it hard to believe you would be in a forum like this if you could afford such a watch. How am I to believe that owners of fakes would know more then Gen owners?

I don't want to blow my money on watches so I will buy my DSSD preowned from a dealer but I would not through my money away on something not real I don't understand it unless you are trying to be someone you are not. Why don't you post some pictures of your so called Gen for us to see

 

[smascarinas]

Hahaha... this guy is funny... but I was thinking about saving up for gen watches then I realized I bang up my watches too much. Also realized I love value. There is in no way you can get a watch that has a swiss movment or a 7750 with sapphire, double ar and awesome lume for how much we get it... the only downfall w/ reps probably is the water resistance... but maybe in time somone will come up w/ something.

 

[johnnydeepsea]

I tried to give you an out so that you would not get flamed but you did not take it. So now I can be a jerk, I come here because the members are friendly and let a Gen owner like me in I may not have a replica now but it is not out of the question I learn something new here every day. As for you and your explorer you probably received it as a gift and decided to go brag somewhere. As for the DSSD have you even been in a AD to try it on your little wrists and if you loved it buy it like a real Rolex buyer from a AD not someones used watch we know you would not want that. If you want to see pics of my Gen then look at my avatar or search these guys have seen it enough. Winning!

You really are a tool. You have no freaking clue what you're talking about. Many, and I mean MANY members on here and other forums are richer than you can imagine and they own dozens of gens costing tens of thousands. Just because people are on a replica forum doesn't necessarily mean they're broke and can't afford the read deal. Without even putting too much thought into it, I can name your at least 10 members from this forum that have a high-end genuine watch that you will probably never be able to afford.

That was made pretty evident on the Rolex Forums and Jake's Rolex Blog by a 16 year old kid with a $100 Submariner replica. That's a bit of a blanket statement, of course, but the fact remains several folks there defended the watch as genuine, until a couple guys posted that the serial number was a widely known replica. Most beat a hasty retreat, and the thread was quickly closed.

There are some folks here who have extensive knowledge of the Rolex brand, the history, the construction, etc. You would know that if you took some time to read. I think a lot of people have pre-conceived ideas about watches, wealth, people, etc. Again, don't let what you wear define you or elevate yourself (in your own mind). The truth is 99.999% of the rest of the world doesn't care at all what you have or don't have on your wrist.

Take some time to read some of the posts here. You may be surprised at what you find. If you have an open mind that is.

Time to bring back negative rep I think....... at least for this guy.

My Rolex was a gift so what! I bought my Bell & Ross and I will buy a DSSD when I am ready. Since you do have a Rolex DSSD why are you here! You are like me we only want the best and we will pay for it and not pretend to be something we are not. Fakes make our Gens worth less and decreases value of the Gens. I still have not heard a good argument from a rep owner for buying them only from you a gen owner sticking up for them because they have nothing to say

LMFAO. I'm yet to see a gen manufacturer drop their prices because of replicas. It tends to go the opposite way really

No, I'd say you are uniquely you in a lot of ways.

Why does anyone have to "defend" or "explain" why they are here or not here? I don't look down on Gen owners or look up to them. Folks is folks, regardless of what they own.

Wait didn't you just say your Rolex was a gift?:biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

 

[johnnydeepsea]

I am surprised you have made it this far it is just early. Their are plenty of guys who could buy a Gen but they like the hobby of collecting watches. I treat my watches like I do my cars I want something nuts I will be happy to wear and drive everyday when I want switch I will buy something else I do not collect things like that. The reason I like this forum is because the members are nice and welcoming. People are not here to brag but we all congratulate on a new piece.

 

[SwissOmega]

There are people from all walks of life on here, from the people who could never in their life afford to own a gen, to people that own more gen watches, that combined, are worth more than my house. The reasons that people buy reps are varied as well, some people could be vain and want the prestige of a big brand watch and some may want to try out the rep until they can afford the GEN.

I have read more stories on this forum that go along the lines of; "I never thought that I would own the gen but after wearing the rep I had to save up and buy the real thing. There are other people that learn the trade of servicing watches on their rep before working on their gen. the reasons are endless, and I am sure that if you searched around the forum instead of jumping in an flaming us you would see that.

I am pressed for time today otherwise I would make a more eloquent and complete argument but frankly you are not worth the time spent right now.

I'm sure many others will take up where I left off.

Last thing of note, some of the people that could never afford a Gen, well their purchase of a rep doesn't take anything away from the company, monetarily, as they would never have been part of the customer base.

If you don't like it - change the channel (leave the forum)

 

[avenger007]

I think some folks really buy into the marketing hype from "luxury" companies. They imply (or sometimes state) that by simply owning a product, your status is elevated. What a person does defines who they are, not what they have or don't have.

If you want the best, can afford the best, and buy the best, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that and good luck to you. But it shouldn't be held over anyone like some kind of pretentious, elitist badge of honor.

GenOwner - Why are you here? What a strange place to be and a strange post to make if you don't like the idea of fake watches. Here's why I am here:

1. I am a watch collector.
2. I own genuine Rolex, Omega and high end vintage watches.
3. I have the money to buy a 10k watch if I want to, but choose not to.
4. This forum is full of avid enthusiasts who have far more knowledge to share than any other forum I have been involved with (T3, TRF, TZ etc..) The attention to detail on this site is 2nd to none.
5. High end replica's are so good I see no value in owning a genuine example when I can have the style,design and reliability for a 10th of the price.
6. I have had huge help in building highly accurate vintage replicas that in the real world are incredibly hard to source.

I could go on but I don't think it's worth it, why are you here again?
