Nobody ever 100% confirmed the golf clubs were authentic in the original golf clubs thread, and in the same way, nobody has, or even can confirm these HBB bezels are OEM....

I see no way of confirming authenticity of a ceramic HBB bezel, unless you removed one from a genuine to compare, and even then, how could you tell unless there was a hidden manufacturing mark?

Cheers!

Yes, someone did say to me the seller&the clubs are legit... dont speak when you have only half the knowledge!

dont get the air though. the battery lifetime sucks. i get 3 hours max and it takes 6h to charge that focker!

what kinda iPhone ya got ?

p.s.

can anyone confirm the Vertu's will work on Tmobile's US network ?

the old one. i thought about getting the new one, but i dont like the plastic back! the new one is also not unlock-able

FYI, the movement wont fit a 3626 case!

Look at past post from Angus he read and try learn this two subjects, and ask us what we think about this or this.

If they told you on begining 'this is ceramic bezel similar like material on Channel J12'

I don't think your appetence to buy this Hublot was this same if they told you 'OEM ceramic bezel from Hublot factory'

Now is difficult to recognize 'polish PVD bezel' and 'polish ceramic bezel' , now I hear we have two different quality of ceramic case new Hublots one is better [of course default you think this which is more expensive] and after same time we will see thread compare of Full & Light ceramic version or Vn contra Vn+1 version and conclusion THIS is this same watch.

i never fell for this lie. never. i always said it was bullcrap and i always said those watches are overpriced!

Correct & here is something that demonstrates the point --

This Daytona 62xx case set is sold by a small number of sellers for $1,200-$1,650+. All of your DWs or Jewelryandwatch frankens use some variation of this case

Pretty nice, right? Yes, definitely. And if you are a WIS who wants an accurate vintage Daytona franken, you have to pay the price. Right?

Wrong.

This A7750-powered Daytona 62xx rep (with asymmetrical pushers), which comes in the exact same case as the 1 above (both pusher styles are available), is sold by a small number of sellers for between $300-$350

The point is that both cases are exactly the same. The only difference is the price & the (assumed) exclusivity that is (wrongly) associated with the bare case set. I think it was either Avitt, Ubi or Alligoat who once said (correctly) that these cases are worth less than $100 at retail. And I am sure they are routinely being sold for $50 a pop in China. Regardless of the model, the pattern is the same.

you're missing the big point here, the subdial spacing on the A7750 is WAY off.

I seem to recall a thread a few months ago where someone confirmed that the whole OEM bezel thing was never accurate, and it was just a marketing gimmick from Jandrew. Does anyone else remember that? Or is it just the seven martinis that I had for lunch talking?

Thats also what I believe. I cant say if its true or not, because I dont know, noone of us knows for sure besides JC Biver and the HBB maker.

I somehow cant see how the factory would

a) sell those things to a replica maker and risking the Hublot contract

why the HBB maker wouldnt just have someone else make this bezel. I'm sure there's lots of factories who can make the bezel for much less than the OEM factory. I mean the OEM factory definitely has higher QC standarts than any other factory.

Or is the Rolex rep factory also asking the Rolex-Insert-Factory for OEM inserts?!? I think not!

And from first hand experience I have learned that this whole "they sneaked some items out of the OEM factory" is a bunch of [censored]. Thats the same lie I fell for when I bought those golf clubs (call me stupid, but I trusted other members here who falsely confirmed the authenticity!)

I get nike shox for 45$ SHIPPED EMS exact same shoes cost 225+++$ at all shoe stores where i live.

And they are good quality.

Also i pay 10$ each for RL sweats that are also good quality.

Its about have good your connections is mr slay, if you get ripped of yeah i woud not like to buy fake nikes for 70$ and i don't

Cell phones,ipod generics i never buy so can't comment on that marked.

Hmmm, funny that you mention RL Polos... I bought about 50 RL Polos for 12Euros each, and they were genuine.

I have had replica Shox, because I made the mistake to buy on eBay, I thought they were gen (the pics were gen and the seller had good feedback), the shoes were lousy, I threw them away!

It's always possible to get the real deal for much much less, you just need to know where to shop.

But anything from China is crap. Maybe I should recall my experience with so called "genuine golf clubs", they were lousy (IMO) and the titanium wasnt titanium. Others were happy with the golf clubs and believed they were genuine. I know they weren't and I wasnt happy.

Like I said, most people are happy with the fakes, because they have never had the real item.

As for A&F, I dont see the point buying a fake. I remember getting A&F stuff so cheap on 5th ave... Maybe the Chinese make good quality replicas, but I dont see a good replica A&F hoodie for 10$. I see them selling for 40$. I paid 60 for the real deal. And this wasnt at some outlet store, it was at 5th Avenue in NYC right next to Burberry, Hermes, LV and Ferragamo!

@Ken I dont know the quality of most of your products. Many customers seem to be happy with it, thats fine. I myself just dont see the point of buying a fake A&F jacket for 125$ or a fake iPod for 120$. I've always followed the principle "live & let live", I was just curious as to what the motivation behind buying those fakes is.

I'm also not aiming this at YOUR stock, because like I said, I dont have any experience with your stuff, I can only judge by the pictures. My comments were mostly towards the stuff that is being sold on eBay and where not.

A Russian general just threatened Poland that they might be attacked with nuclear weapons by russia if they allow the US to place their missile defense system there... They also said something about an invasion of Poland...

About a year ago (?) Andrew claimed that Hublot busted the OEM factory and that they can no longer supply OEM ceramic bezels. He said they have about 20 of them left. He said this was the reason for the huge price increase for all ceramic models.

So NOW (half a year, or a year later), Anugs tells us, that (after having various new models, all equiped with so called OEM bezels) NOW they only have 20-30 OEM bezels left.

Okay, so one possibility is, that they only sold 1 or 2 watches within a year, which I find hard to believe. The other posiblity is, that they were either lying back then, or are lying now. Another possibility is, that they never used anything like "OEM ceramic bezels". Or did I miss something?

Fishy? Maybe!

(please dont let this thread run into the [censored] by starting OT discussions!)

man, i'm so tempted to ditch my iPhone and get one of them.....

one thing we haven't brought up is Fake sports jerseys

authentic football jerseys start at 100 and are usually in the 2 to 300 range

depending on the popularity of the player - you can get them from 25$ to 60$ stitched letters, logos - excellent material with brand new tags

I understand on the streets in south korea same jerseys are like 10 bucks

But there is a south korean jersey market and a chinese market

I have, at least a dozen football jerseys - college, pro, home away, yadda - - i usually average about 25-35 per - and they are freakin awesome

They even do customization now so, the jersey is like 50 bucks and for another 10 they will put your name and number on it.

I never understood why those real jerseys are so expensive in the US... I was gonna buy one last year as a souvenir from Boston, but 150$? No thanks!

Might get myself a nice suit in Thailand next week - unbranded

MB pens suck, rep shirts suck, fake ipods suck, fake wallet suck... oh yes... Duponts are nice

I had all of this stuff... addiction ....anyway... stick to watches and to only the good ones and you have a nice hobby

If you're talkin about a tailor made suit, that one is probably going to be worth it (but make sure you dont get the cheapest one!). I mean I dont think a Thai Tailor is in any way inferrior to a german, british or an italian tailor.

The Duponts are nice... BUT they are not perfect. You need lots of frankenparts to make it good! Some lighter also leak gas. I didnt have such a good experience with them!

But hey, those lighters were only 35$! That nowhere near the genuine article!

Oh yes you have!!!!!!

I was wearing one in brussels

Hmm, really? I think I may remeber we talked about it a bit, but I dont remember how it looked an felt

I admire girls... my girlfriend still knows what exactly I was wearing when we met

Very worthwhile. I did it and got a decent suit. The cuts are a little oriental in their style, but if you like how the mooks in John Woo movies dress, you will like the suits.

As for Mont Blanc, I used gen refils in my rep without a problem. It's like putting an ETA in a Breitling rep: functionally identical.

Having said all that, I agree for the most part with Slay.

Then yours must be one of the better kind. I would get a genuine Pen, but I fear I will lose it!

Did anyone notice that the seller stated he would ship via Fedex. As an old timer in NAWCC isnt he aware that if they lose the watch, he will get a check for $500?

And trust me, packages get lost with FEDEX ALL THE TIME. I file at least three claims a week.

If I pay $25k for a watch, Im buying a plane ticket to pick it up!

Thats probably the best Idea... I remember paying less than 100$ for a round trip NYC-Columbus.

You CAN get a good Mont Blanc pen for $10... so far the best I've seen is the Imperial Dragon: surprisingly good gold...

I'd like to see that... my experience so far: the ink cartridges SUCK monkey balls, you cant use gen refills, the plating wears off, the materials wears off and brass is visible, overall look&feel is cheap

I also dont know why anyone would pay 45$ for a fake shirt. I can get very very nice&handsom shirts, MADE IN GERMANY for that price, and those are higher quality than any Armani, D&G, Hermes or Versace!

You're also so true about what you said about suits. I have never seen/worn a replica suit, so I can't comment, but I have some "Made in Germany" suits for 200$ and they look and feel as expensive as any genuine 1500$ Armani suit. The Chinese junk is soo overpriced, thos suits are maybe worth 5$ in China!

Its the chinese copy of the blu-ray disc

I was just browsing the Web and compared the prices of Replica shoes/clothing, electronics etc. It does not go into my head how anyone would spend 130$ on a fake iPod Nano if you can get the real deal for 149 from apple (and Probably for 120 on eBay). I mean those fake iPods arnt even close...

Yes, well the first rule they should teach you at "The Internets School" is that you should be careful when giving out personal information

I just saw the August 12th...

My apologies Slay...

You're getting old

What some of you guys, I think, are not getting, that this is not about Russian protecting its alleged citizens or Georgia murdering ossetians. This is about barbarianism! We are not living in a barbarity. We have the United Nations and the United Nations has its ways to enforce International Law and bring justice to those who violate it.

We do not need crazy people running to their neigbors and kicking their children in the nuts, because one of them hit their little baby girl! We have the Rule of Law, noone is above it. And noone should invade another country or step foot on it without a general assembly taking place. The UN is basically the judge and the court for such intergovernmental problems! AND NOT PUTIN!

Okay, I cant access the search function or anything else, but at least the mainscreen works. I highlighted it in red for you, to prove you once more, that your are absolutely WRONG (again)!

I must admit that its been quite a coincidence that it has been exactly 1 year and 1 day!

you really have a vendetta going on against me, dont you?

On RWG1? It had to be someone else, because I havnt been to RWG1 in a while.
