  1. right proportions and colors (and ofc superior finishing) makes the gen really lovable, and rep looks "ok" in comparison. i really want a gen one myself but too bad my girls wrists cant pull APROO's (even the ROC sits awkward due to angle of lugs) superb watch wear it in good health!
  2. its not about the details, real langes are just supreme quality with solid heavy feeling (all langes are in either gold or platinum). and higher quality in finishing than most pateks. you can tell by the general look of the watch if its fake or not without even wearing it. also platinum shines different. you just cant replicate lange..
  3. get a real watch then you dont need to think about "creative" answers. he must have thought that are a weirdo and didnt understand wtf you saying
  4. Prps, true religion, dsquared g-star is for ghetto bums and ugly as hell no offense
  5. why do you even talk if you have no clue about wtf you talking about =) rolex sport models gain value over time, my used sub is no longer in production and now worth more than retail. you buy watches to wear them, but its nice to know that your watches wont lose much value. it shows its brand power. its easy to talk about gens are overpriced etc.. then why dont you go and found your own brand from scratch, then sell it for rep prices, so easy =) if people are willing to pay big cash on a watch, the watch will be sold for big cash, it determines its value. market value is adjusted by people who PAY and they are mostly not idiots believe me =). in short, money talks my friend. and if there werent any gens, reps wouldnt exist. but gens can exist without reps =) dont get me wrong im not a rep hater, i usually dont give a [censored] what other guy wears a fake or not as long as its a nice watch, but one shouldnt fool himself and glorify the reps, giving them undeserved value.
  6. id rather have my wallet raped than having my mind and attitude [censored], like we can see here nothing more than marketing? and wtf is alpha watch yeah then why do rep makers rely on popularity of gen brands, instead of creating their own and be succesful? yeah its so simple you should tell them Why dont they invent their own reliable complicated movements with top high finishing. if you think most "gen owners" buy the watch to brag about, unfortunately thats case for most "rep owners", most people who buy gens just buy a watch, instead of buying swatch or similar, they buy something better because they can afford, simple as that. thoese who cant afford, buy reps, in most cases. and being obsessed about "replicas" its another thing yeah man its just a swanky brand name to show off, nothing else just a crappy watch with marketing brand on it a true watch ethuasist will certainly appreciate the copying skills of rep makers and chinese ETA movt's after having appreciated the quality and finishing of patek, lange or similar calibers. that idea of true watch ethuasist exist only on your mind, and thats why this is a lonely hobby. and that desperate desire to bring "replicas" to equal level of "gens"..... both are just watches and show time dont they?
  7. when wearing "gens" i feel like wearing a nice watch i like, gen or rep doesnt come to my mind, simple, its a nice watch when i wore reps, i felt like wearing a watch with a nice apperance i got from a huge discount, but something big isnt quite right with the watch, looks like its pretending to be something else. its not complete and accomplished, its not real. then it gets too complicated for a watch and complications better left inside of the watch in movement..
  8. so u like being decent and can afford gens then why dont you buy any. The reason you buy reps because you love the brand? The brand doesnt love you back for buying the replica. And do you know the difference between what it takes to create a sucessful brand, design from scratch, and to build a copy and have you ever wondered why would you receive disdain and disgust? if you enjoy reps why do you want to be accepted by watch enthusiasts (gen owners and collectors) anyway?
  9. Maybe some can afford one or two gens total for lets say 10k, but if all the reps you wear in rotation every weak were gens, all would cost maybe 200k? if could afford to have 200k in watches wouldnt have bothered with reps, desire to own 10 gens worth 200k, can afford? no, so you buy reps =) im sure your thoughts will change if you get the disposable funds
  10. why do you always need to find excuses to justify the purchase of reps. And how can you compare tan to a replica product. Maybe he can afford a vacation in bahamas for real tan but have no time, but you wear replica because you cant afford the real one. Dont become too obssesed with them. I hope one day you will realize why its wrong..
  11. good to know that, they should better check the watches twice before they ship then
  12. lol...i think maybe you will never get the point, and you are still not honest to yourself. Normally, if you like the look of Rolex, you should be paying rolex price to own one. if you dont want to pay, you should be wearing something else. I hate to say this but basically reps steal the design and reconstruct with cheaper materials and poorer finishing(yes, even the steel and yes, even the so-called 1:1 reps). Reps arent built from scratch, repmakers didnt invent their own movement, they didnt design it themselves, also from scratch, they didnt found a company which made his way up to the position they have now, with prestige. They didnt have to survive the quartz watch crisis. i really dont need to list all of that.. Submariner design maybe still didnt change much in 50years, simply because its damn good design, its timeless. Prob the most copied, imitated, inspired and replicated design in the world. And the price is more than justified. But with gens nobody usually need to justify their purchase, unlike with reps from what i've seen so far =) Wearign a rep is like cheating, everybody has urge to cheat sometimes, but should not overdo it.. *only [censored] drive Audis? what kind of stupid generalisation is that, then should only insecure losers drive fieros with ferrari look (at least the latter has a point) ^^
  13. man dont get me wrong but maybe its just better if you stop hiding from the truth. Its probably much better. If they are overinflated overpriced then why not wear a casio or swatch? The only question is, why do you need replica rolex, why do you need to dress to up fiero as ferrari while maybe u can buy an audi for same price. nobody likes the price tag but that looks and quality has a price, like everything in life, and that price is adjusted to market. reps wouldnt exist if gens werent designed, manufactured and marketed from scratch.
  14. no offense but you sound like living in your own world...nobody needs a rolex to gain selfworth (actually more like sadly most replica wearers trying to project an image which doesnt match their selfworth), you dont need to overcomplicate everything. maybe you should learn the definition of luxury. its just, if u can afford the thing, it looks nice and u buy it. faking something of any kind generally not well appreciated and doesnt leave a good impression on others. simple as that.
  15. maybe wearing a replica of something ( doesnt need to be a watch, can be also clothes or anythign else) shows insecurity, its more about the values than the quality of the item. and i think a watch is a part of the personal statement of yourself
  16. rolex rolex everywhere something different.. *and why you need 904L when you got HOLY steel (st.steel)
  17. in this fake? looks very weird and cheap to me, plus the engravings on back http://www.ebay.de/itm/ROLEX-COSMOGRAPH-DAYTONA-STAHL116520-/330767667883?pt=DE_Kleidung_Schmuck_Accessoires_Uhren_Armbanduhren&hash=item4d034a12ab
  18. and a guest can expect some hospitality. despite you being right , no need to be a wannabemod about it. pls keep me in your mental list and avoid at all costs, no i insist
  19. i guess its your turn to apologize, you can keep your "approval"
  20. yeah you are right but i have put make-an-offer option so lets see so i still see some hating is going on, its not cool. if you think i behaved like [censored], then sorry for that, maybe some people get too emotional. then look at nanuqs approach and at[censored]ude, thats when all [censored] started. then i made myself clear and flaming begins. sorry that im straightforward and wont lick anybodys ass just to be able to sell a watch in forum , but respect for other mods who gave at least some time and thought
  21. here you go pardner, you could also search only "omega moonwatch", maybe u cant find because you are in US, im not shipping there. its cheaper in US anyway http://www.ebay.de/i...=item2c661ea95b
