  8. Something Thats Been On My Mind About Rep Accuracy

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Zola

    Okay, the REAL truth is that the gen manufacturers have a deal in place with the Chinese rep makers to make reps that are good but not perfect. This causes people who would not otherwise consider buying Rolexes and Omegas, and really have no business wasting money on such frivolities, to buy reps and unknowingly start on their path toward WISdom. Over time the reps are insufficient to satisfy their desire to be taken seriously as real WIS's and the rep buyer dips into his son's college fund/scratches plastic/cancels his yearly vacation to Hawaii to buy into the luxury watch club. In this way Rolex/Panerai/Omega gets thousands of new addicts a year and the Chinese rep makers collect all business of all those who can't afford or don't want the real thing anyway, so everybody wins except for the sap who drives a Pizza Hut delivery car, lives with his parents and has a Submariner and thinks he's James Bond.

    I will no doubt be assassinated by the Rolex police for divulging the truth, so let me say in my last post that I've enjoyed being a member of RWC. Godspeed to all of you.

    Yep I'm joining you’re particular conspiracy bandwagon! After all the Rep industry wants to ride the Luxury Whale not destroy it!!!

    Equation =

    1) Man buys Rep :D

    2) Man receives large number of Compliments, Approving Glances and Smiles from attractive women B)

    3) Man feels great but now wants the feeling without the slightly fraudulent after taste. :wounded1:

    4) Man saves up for Gen and/or Sends his rep to Palpatine, RBJ, The Zigmeister, Finepics for sweetening! :3a:

    Now to add to the solidity of this theory is it coincidence that the most accurate rep is the TAG LINK?

    The genuine watches are not selling well and ADs are offering VERY large discounts!

    The possibilities are thus...

    1) The powers that be allowed this rep to be near perfect in an attempt to persuade the rep community to embrace it. The subsequent Viral Marketing raises the profile of the TAG LINK (Never heard of it before RWG) and sales of the genuine increase.

    2) The Rep Manufactures manage to create a perfect replica making the point of buying the Gen ...Pointless!

    3) The TAG LINK is a crap watch. (Just a theory)

    Now if you will excuse me I'm off to work double shifts at the Pizza Hut :whistling:

  10. Has The Replica Community Grown Too Large?

    in General Discussion

    On the other side of the coin, the increased growth has hurt the community in that several dealers no longer offer Paypal.

    Is this true or am I oversimplifying the situation?

    I hear you Linder but I feel the real problem is not newbs but PayPal themselves! They are incompetent money grabbing morons! I once had some guy try and scam me out of $2000 when his fraudulent payment was reversed they froze MY account for 3 weeks!!!! WTF!!!!! Buyers get all the protection and the sellers are treated like dirt. If someone puts in a complaint the money is immediately taken from the seller without any attempt to find out whether the complaint is valid :angry: When it's good PayPal is very convenient but when it goes bad it really sucks. I wish there was a viable alternative, anyone use Moneybookers???

  16. Highly Reflective Anti Reflective Coating On My Pam!

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Zola

    My first ever Pam was a 036 from Joshua which i chose after excellent reviews and talk of anti reflective coating. When I received it last October I fell in love instantly and could barely bring myself to let it go to Finepics for a relume. The blue hue was a pleasure to behold and the only reason it left my wrist is because it stopped working. After my replacement also stopped (I really should invest in a service at time of purchase) I felt I needed an emergency PAM while my 036 was being fixed so I bought a cheap and cheerful Chinese 112H for $110 from Silix. Wow! what a fine watch for such little cash, pure class!

    I had both watches sitting on my desk as i exchanged straps and was amazed at how amazingly clear the dial on the 112H was, I mean in most cases it actually looks like there’s no glass at all and the crisp sandwich dial has a real look of quality about it. The 036 on the other hand has the most horrendous reflections at all times and far too much stuff happening on the dial! Nothing left to do but face the truth...

    Dear PAM036,

    I dont love you any more. I've found a prettier and less complicated girl who isnt interested in my money.

    Regards,

    Zola

    Sorry for the poor pic the reflections are a lot worse on the 036 and the 112H a lot prettier! :)
