Returning to China is full of risks and takes time. I'd suggest contacting a European watchsmith where there is less chance of it going missing. I've had good results with SSTEEL who's a Brit based in the EU. @SSTEEL

I'd say 'fake' watches are the cheap crap that you buy whilst holidaying in certain parts of the world. Ones which get thrown in the draw when you get home. Many people here build their own watches. Ones which are near identical to the gen version. For them, it's as much about the journey of gathering knowledge, parts and experience as it is the destination of the finished product. In essence: whatever floats your boat.

You're not THAT old....... .... the rest we'll have to agree with!

lol, yes, soon they'll be releasing reps before the gens!

I've the same problem. When I check afterwards it says 'upload failed'.

Yup. Enough is enough. This place is not your corner of the Internet to bitch about each other - it's a place where EVERYONE plays nice or not at all.

Look at the Trusted Dealers here. Send them a message or look at their web sites and they should be able to help.

SSTEEL gets the job done. And with the minimum of fuss. I've always found him both helpful and professional.

Ryan is a good seller and is trusted across many boards by many people. PM me or one of the other mods here with the details and we'll have a look.

As Sogeha said. Some dealers will ship from inside the EU so customs is easier, some will accept Paypal some won't etc etc. All can get the same watch though. Choose the TD whom best serves your needs.

Mmmmm nice. Do you know the model number?

Gen Tag again today. Too good for a beater but the small size is convenient.

Back at my winter job today

I wouldn't even call it a replica as it's a cheap fake at best.

I've had a wee think on this one ...... RWG Member of the year 2016 - not fair, so many to choose from! RWG dealer of the year 2016 - can't answer as I've not bought anything new in 2016 (yeah tell me about it!), but if pushed then Toro as he's been great in the past RWG rep of the year 2016 - still thinking about it! RWG modder of the year 2016 - too many good guys here, but SSTEEL has completed 3 great builds for me. RWG new member of the year 2016 - Sogeha: a great addition to our corner of the web RWG crew member of the year 2016 - hmmm close call but MOAB & Legend (too close to split - and always offering me help.) RWG veteran of the year 2016 (5 years membership and above) Nanuq - a true all rounder.

Have you looked in the sales section?................

Any of my reps that have crapped out have done so whilst sat in the watch box. If I'm using them they seem to keep ticking fortunately. None of them get babied, that's why I have reps. The thought of mountain biking in a $4k gen scares me!

Some TD's may use triangle shipping, via the UK so that reduces the risk too.

Gen is on the left. I couldn't tell so I flipped a coin and it says gen is on the left. Both superb pieces wear them well.

Tell it like it is mate! I think that on here, we try and see the good in all. However you're right: the guy is a scamming (C)see yoU Next Tuesday.

Yep, and now banned. Thanks for the heads up.

RWG provides a wealth of knowledge and advice. Beyond that it's a friendly forum where some great people hang out. For me getting to know some great people and make friends here is worth the fee alone. What's $5 a month - a cup of coffee a week - or in the U.K. about one posh cup a month!

I bet it's been done with watches before too. Sad that some individuals stoop so low.
