  1. Pix's collection : one year of rep collecting

    in My Collection

    Posted

    Sure they're reps : if I had cash to afford all these as gens, I would probably live somewhere on an isalnd, far from civilization and from the internet :)

    I bought the Quartz Aquaracer on iOffer from a thai seller called TOS. He's not cheap, but that's a nice alternative to the automatic version. The case is just stunning (excellent) ! I like it so much that I am sending it for AR coating (sounds odd for the value of the thing, but I'm doing AR in relation with the visual value of a watch, not its financial one...)

    Favorite..? No, too unfair. Currently the most worn are the Porsche Design and the Omega RG chrono. Some time ago it was the SFSO and the Navitimer... Fortunately my tastes change, and I have enough pieces to follow my mood. :)

    If some aren't able to see how stupid a price is, well... :rolleyes:

    On the other hand the forum is here to try to protect the members : but isn't it beyond mods concern to check and confirm if an offer is not honest ?

    And I'm against threadcrapping, because if you allow this, how many honest offers will be spoiled ?

    Difficult.

  5. What do you do in this case?

    IMO everyone can answer the way he feels.

    Everyone has his own reasons for wearing reps, and honesty is not always the main reason nor the usual behaviour.

    Even if I belong to those who get around (that means I don't like to say straight it's a fake), I think one can also pass the watch for the gen... if he feels it and if it brings him some satisfaction.

    Otherwise, why would some of us always look for the perfect ultimate super 1:1 thing, make mods and all : for fun ? Sure. But surely because they don't want to be called out... i.e. they want to behave and do as if their watch was genuine. That's a fact.

    9 times out of 10 it is becase you are wearing a rolex, it is the only name that alot of the public know when it comes to prestege watches, if it was an IWC or panerai, or god forbid a Patec they would not even recognize the name, but what is the first question you hear when you wear a rolex!

    That was indeed the 1 and only time I was asked. I wore St

    Hi,

    I'd like to mention one of the sentences which hit me most when I joined this community. I like to say it from time to time, as a tribute to Clive. That was on RWG1 :

    "Don't know what it is, I took it from a dead man..." (or something like that...)

    ^_^

    The other method was tought by St

  19. [Pictorial] Omega Railmaster Limited Edition

    in The Omega Area

    Posted

    Hi Folks,

    I recently went for a Deville co-axial chronometer, my first Omega dressy watch. My first rose-gold watch too... That made me realize that there was a life for dressy watches besides Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe... :) and made me want more gold in my collection. Sounds strange even for me, as I'm usually not too much for bling watches. But with this second dressy Omega, I am definitely sure that the "bling" of a watch is not related to the metal it's made of : my new Omega Railmaster is definitely a very simple yet sexy watch...

    I won't review the thing as that was done already, and in a very good and complete way :
