Jkay Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 That is too funny. What did the twins say about your fabulous watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottosaurus Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Some of these are ugly enough to be real designs. As disgusting as they are, I'm actually liking the skeleton Rollies. I'd love to wear something like that to a millionaire yacht club outing just for the priceless reactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFO Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) A couple of days ago a found a friend wearing a "Tag Heuer Carrera" with automatic movement but non working chronos. I thought it was the worst replica ever, but watching all this stuff, looks like a 1:1 Edited August 31, 2010 by CFO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broker1981 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I had a guy try to sell me one of these for 10 000 NOK (about 1500 USD) saying that it was the Bentley tourbillion. Now, i may be somewhat inattentive at times, but i DO know that 150 000 dollar watches aren't sold for 1 500 USD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movementum Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) But lets be clear. None of us want tries to pass off our Rep as a Gen right? That would be insincere (sarcasm). Notwithstanding the pictures where the watch itself doesn't function (33+ days in a month) how can one say these are bad? If we keep with the general premise here (and the most common way to pretend that buying a rep isn't really a bad thing)... Our mantra "One Never Ever Ever Tried To Pass Off Their Rep As A Gen", then the watches pictured above that do not actually not function but simply stray VERY FAR from the what the Gen looks like are not actually horrible are they? Some have some really nice aesthetic qualities: One day we will all come to terms with the fact that we buy reps because we want to have people think we own the gen but are too cheap to pay for it. If you're laughing at the watches in this thread because they're off, or if you're secretly nodding with Corgi because you don't want *expensive reps*, then you're one step closer to admitting the truth. We want strangers to think we own a Rolex. And we laugh at these pictures because our inside voice says, "Man, nobody would believe that's a REAL Rolex". (you can substitute Rolex for your brand of desire). Stay honest my friends. And we ALL buy Playboy for the articles Edited July 5, 2011 by Movementum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applewush Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I'm glad there are fakes like these in the market. I refuse to call them reps because they're too original to be replicas of anything. As long as people keep conjuring up images of these when they think 'fake', they're less likely to call out good quality reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
