  1. haha maciek.. at least you have ola now .. no need to worry anymore... but yeah nothing happened last night but there is some good memory.. because afterward we talked about watches for a long time haha which is as good as you know.. .. for a girl who never owned a watch.. she seems to know alot about brands and types of watches.. but she claims that it was the first time that she's ever owned a watch which is a good thing.. maybe one day i should get her into this addiction too eh?
  2. first time ever ive ever been questioned by anyone.. but yeah i guess you're right i don't really care about what he thinks whether it's a fake or being called out.. in fact i'm still wearing my YM.. really what i'm trying to ask is that whether what he says is right or not about the bracelet.. obviously he's just playing guessing games.. @vic.. yeah i'm more calmed down now .. nah i know the forum is trying to back me up.. and i thank you guys for it.. just felt that with your first posts, it's like you're trying to say to me that i'm strutting my rolexes around and tell him that it's real and he called me out on it and i got embarassed.. which isn't the case and i think you know now just wanted to confirm whether he actually KNOWS for sure (from the bracelet claims) or he's guessing.. since i haven't really hold a YM before.. like i said the only gen rolex i've held is my gen daydate.. and one ss datejust (which is very light also) thanks anyway guys
  3. yes that's my point exactly.. to be honest i don't mind people knowing that i wear reps.. but just like you said.. this guy claims that my reps were of a canal st quality and it's so tellable.. and from reviews i take it as that i bought it for the price because well it's not perfect but it's close to the gen.. hence why i made this forum.. is it really that crappy the noob YM, that someone who's held rolex for once actually can tell? that's all.. it's got nothing to do with him catching me or i'm trying to tell him its gen.. just the fact that his words annoys me about our reps.. but yeah i think you're starting to get my point now!
  4. yes i'm happy with it.. but this guys is saying that it's practically so damn different that it's not funny that i should only pay "$20" for it.. which is why i started this thread at the start anyway.. i wanted a rep that is accurate, hence why i paid more instead of getting it from canal st.. because if what he's saying is true i'd be better off getting it from canal st correct?
  5. yeah? i have told alot of people that it's fake.. in fact i told the bday girl.. because she came up to me afterward and asked.. and i told her the whole thing and she even asked me if i could get her 1.. the not you too isn't about him not going out of his way to not tell his co-worker.. my "not you too" means that not him too attacking me because i didn't tell this guy that i was wearing a rep.. which never was the discussion in this thread until you brought it up.. it was never in my question anyway.. i don't think i ever asked about this! if you just want to keep going just for the sake of arguing.. OK I LIED? HAPPY? now what? [censored] happens.. so unless you can turn back time so that i could tell everyone at that party that i should not "lie" because victoria told me not to.. don't bother posting about you being miss integrity coz it doesn't change the fact of what happened.. now this is where i stopped arguing about this crap.. thanks back to my topic now
  6. well i said along the lines of i don't really know.. but even if it is a copy, i think even the weight is similar.. that's how rolex bracelets are meant to be.. they're made to be light unlike omegas or breitlings.. then he said nahhh man this is worth like $20.. you can tell straight away.. so i just told him okay then i guess it is a rep.. i'll tell my dad that you said that.. and enjoy the watch.. that's it really!
  7. omg not you too!? but yeah next time like i said i should just tell the whole world about our repworld... which will kind of defeats the purpose of having reps, and modding watches and reviewing flaws. at the end of the day if i told him straight away MAN OMG ITS A REP BRUZZZZZZZ.. CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE THE DIFF IS? and his response would be the same.. its dodgy, cheap and filmsy.. i'll buy it off u for 50 bux just because we're friends.. personally i think it's worth $2 0.. and would this thread change? NO well maybe it does.. difference would be victoria not flaming me.. which is something that i don't care about!
  8. anyway if people are mistaken in what i'm asking.. i would like to rephrase my story i never was or never did try and convince him if my watches are real.. but i myself never hold a yachtmaster.. but from reviews and even after weighting my own reps and compare them to official weight of YM (from a site).. they both shows that weight are very similar.. (136-138 grams) so my question is not really about whether he is convinced that it is real or not.. but my question is that from what he says.. is it really right? or it's an estimated guess? despite me like victoria claimed to be a liar or not... or me giving it away to him or not dw about it.. i'll deal with karma later.. but are these infos from him claiming the weight to be too light and cheap a real remark (help me out here. never hold a YM)
  9. should i? then is that where it stops? like you said everything else is a detail.. i wanted a detail and he gave me detail.. now what i'm asking these people is are these details true.. not whether avb should be flamed because he didn't tell this guy if ALL his watches are fakes
  10. okay boss next time i should just tell the whole world about them.. give them info about this site and even call rolex now and tell them that i knew all about it from here.. and sure tomorrow morning to redeem myself i will go around the city and go OMG ME AND VICTORIA IS WEARING REPS MANNN WE'RE NOT LIARS.. WE BOUGHT A ROLEX COPY BECAUSE WE LIKE COPIES NOT GENS!!!! YAHHHH!!! is this your definition of not lying.. because if by saying that my father gave me this watch make a rolex bracelet feels cheap and light.. then hell my genuine rolex solid gold is fake too because my dad gave it to me also! anyway vic you took this topic out of context.. so if you just want to call me a liar.. pls don't do it here.. coz this isn't what this thread is about.. you flaming me if you wanna tell the whole world about your reps go for it.. but don't get me involved with your I SHOULD TELL THE WHOLE WORLD THAT I WEAR REPS plan
  11. can i ask where i lied? the part that my dad gave it to me? to be honest technically i'm not lying sweetie, because my dad DID buy it for me as a christmas present
  12. hmm sounds like i didn't tell my stories right.. i did tell him what's wrong with it.. and he told me that because it feels dodgy and light.. he's held an oyster bracelet rolex before and it's ALOT heavier.. and he wanted to buy it from me for "$50" because he's my friend and he thinks it's worth "$20" the most.. and yes victoria i only asked what makes it so tellable.. nothing else
  13. i OWN a gen rolex presidential daydate.. i don't notice a difference in feel of both watches (yes the solid gold is heavier) but they both feel fluent and very similar.. that is 1.. number 2 is that i never tried to convince this guy that it's a genuine.. third thing is that i just wanted to hear of people's opinion whether this guy is playing the guessing game or he's for real? i felt like i been punched in the guts because from reviews everywhere.. i've heard that the YM has a very similar feel to it's genuine counterpart.. and ths guy was making fuss of the WEIGHT and DODGINESS.. which is 2 of the polar opposite opinion.. get what i mean VIC? so it's not about how i want to convince him.. just want to confirm whether he's full of [censored] or not.. which part of my story did i actually lie about my reps to him? i never admitted it was a gen.. i wanted to see his reaction so i said i don't know! he was the first person to say all these stuff.. and even at the end of it i just said "i better tell my dad about this then, and ask whether it's real or not.."..
  14. hey pugster.. if it was something i said that gave it away.. i don't really mind that.. means something else to me.. it means that i have a good rep.. but he blatantly told me that it's worth "$50" and it's dodgy.. that's what upsets me.. i hope you're right tho.. it's me that gave it away not the watch.
  15. haha there was girls around.. in fact birthday girl (who happens to be a stunner) was just there.. and suddenly as i was gettng food this guy noticed my watch and went omg can i see that.. not being rude offcourse i handed it over to him.. birthday girl leaned over to see (she was excited about her new watch because apparently it's the 1st time she's ever worn a watch LOL she was telling everyone about her new watch, it's a marc jacobs).. and that's when everything happens i guess
  16. i got called out with my noob yachtmaster hi i don't know if this story is appropriate.. but i kind of need your idea .. well i was at a party today.. and my friend spotted my "noob" version of yachtmaster.. i got this watch after being reviewed by both bytor and bk as being one of the most accurate reps around.. and even both to the weight and feel.. it is very similar to the gen.. anyway my friend asked me if he can see my watch.. so i handed it to him.. and straight away he asked is this original? but i just went that it's my father's that he given to me, so i don't know (this time i would just want to see his reaction).. and he straight away told me.. haha i can tell straight away it's a fake.. then i asked him.. how did you know? i mean even for me this watch is too hard to tell from the real thing, as i've never seen or held a yachtmaster ever.. and he told me that "your watch feels dodgy.. but i'll buy it off you for $50 tho.. i've held a rolex oyster once and the bracelet feels solid and this feels cheap and light.." i was shocked when he said the watch is worth $50.. but what i'm confused about is that do the noob yachtmaster really feel too light and cheap? because from what bytor and bk is saying and plus.. my own weighting machine tells me that they both (gen and noob YM) have the same weight abt 136grams.. and i've sanded it down and oiled it too.. but yeah if he called me out because if the movement (loud) or something.. it's a different story.. but he tells me that it feels "dodgy".. i mean is he right? or he's just playing the guessing game? i feel down now ..
  17. takes what? 5 weeks to get there? man by the time 5 weeks come i would be over the damn thing.. and i don't trust airmail at all.. i've had things shipped via airmail twice.. and twice the damn thing didn't arrive
  18. nope all the hands are okay.. i've checked this.. i'm thinking something is stuck inside the movement but i dont know what
  19. hi i just received my noob yachtmaster today.. it has the 21j movement.. however i realised that everytime the seconds passed the 2oclock - 5oclock.. it always stops for no reason at all.. anyway can help me what is wrong with it? i don't think it's worth of sending it back to china again since with the cost of shipping i could probably get a new one anyway.. so anyway of telling? thanks alot guys
  20. took a pic of my rolex yachtmaster.. pls comment and enjoy
