No need. .....TPR on that issue. BTW, I think the seconds at 9 thing is in your head. That was scheduled to be fixed (at least by one producer) before production of the finished product. Other suggested flaws were also fixed. If you look closely, the 12-hour and 30 minute have the same slight offset of the pointer in at least one shot. Doesn't mean anything. There are other ways to snap a photo with the seconds not running besides waiting (as one person suggested) for the seconds to hit 30 (which is actually quite silly). And I'd be amazed if this auction is removed. Actually,....(3 minutes later editing....) I take that back, snapping the flick at 30 isn't silly at all. (and no insult or FIGHT intended). It could have gone down that way. But knowing how huge the profit margin was going to be and also considering that dealers were discussing fixing this flaw (based on production and profit) it is also possible that they could have an updated version. Either way, I think that unless you know the potential buyer, this guy is as good as GOT. The good thing is that his friends may not be able to call him on it. Let's hope he doesn't take it to his jeweler. That would really start something, now wouldn't it? Ω REIGN

This is not a fight. Someone objected to a post. I responded intelligently. If anything, you should have objected at the use of profanity in his rebuttal. And if it was a fight, There are moderators and co-moderators for that sort of thing. But, this isn't a fight. I think I made that clear if you read my posts. It's not about confrontation, but contradiction. You can't be an arsonist and a firefighter.

Allow me to clarify, (Nice Avatar, BTW) To report this auction is like dining at a fine restaurant where beef is sold, lamb, and everything else, but then protest about the froi gras (because the geese are force fed) while wearing a mink coat. To object to reps being sold as genuine is like working for Ford Motors and loving what you do (in the factory, making cars) then you ride your bike to work everyday and protest SUV's. What you are doing is like (yeah, I have more, I'm trying to get my point across).... Working as a marketing agent for McDonald's and Wendy's, but joining the campaign against a FAT AMERICA. You can't have it both ways. And OF COURSE I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS OWN REAL WATCHES honestly, that was kind of dumb. "Maybe you don't know..." C'mon man, I would contribute to a thread like this, and not know... (That makes no sense). Anyway, My point is: There is no dichotomy, no half observance of the moral issue of replica watches. They are illegal, and people get scammed. You don't mind the legal part, but object to people getting scammed. Either support, or don't support. Oh, I almost forgot one: That's like looking at porn, even child porn, but saying "I object to people trying to act out what they see" "I hate when marriages go bad because of porn" or "I hate pedophiles" Get real, man. You are supporting this. You don't think that the dealers goal is so noble as to not include selling fakes as real, to unsuspecting buyers, do you? Apparently you do. You think they just sell to replica and watch aficionados and not to buyers looking for an exceptional piece (who, while able to afford 8K Euro, are not as knowledgeable as you are). I guess you are thinking that way. There goes self deception at work. Ω REIGN

Guy & Gals Newsflash: YOU CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. Again, Ultimately, the dealer's objective is not a morally sound one. As replica purchasers and enthusiasts, you have to respect the "business end" of replicas. You can't just accept buying and selling among people who would object to selling fakes as real (and for profit). It's all or nothing. You possibly bought from someone that you are now reporting? C'mon.

Hey guys, I started a similar thread at ReplicaCollector. Ratchpot told me someone over here spotted it also. Some things to think about 1. It is evident that this dealer deals some exceptional pieces. He's no newbie. The chances of posting a FAKE AP WITHOUT KNOWING are very low. All of those benefit of the doubt "maybe this...." isn't cutting it. This guy knows what he received. Just think about the process. Perhaps trying it out to see how it flies?? But I don't think he was being duped. BTW, trying it out on people for 8,000 EURO IS LOW. And he knows he has all the credibility in the world to pull it off. 2. This watch came from a LIMITED NUMBER of sources. Especially so Early. I don't know who George is. Is he from Puretime? Deal with Angus? I'm new here (but not to replicas). 3. These are the kinds of moves that remind us of the ultimate end of replica watches: COMPLETE INFILTRATION INTO THE GENUINE MARKET. It is a far cry from buying for admiration. But, what do you expect? This IS a BUSINESS.... ΩReign
