Highflyingclive Posted August 30, 2010 Report Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) But this was the Patek that I chose to wear the night that I had dinner with Jos and Andrew.. Edited August 30, 2010 by Highflyingclive
Jkay Posted August 30, 2010 Report Posted August 30, 2010 That is too funny. What did the twins say about your fabulous watch?
scottosaurus Posted August 31, 2010 Report 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.
CFO Posted August 31, 2010 Report 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
Broker1981 Posted September 3, 2010 Report 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...
vafarmer70 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 HAHA the compass model.. I saw one of those at a flea market years ago
vafarmer70 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 What a rushed engraving on the back
mazz68 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 I also have to say that some of the skelatonized Rollies are actually quite nice
pane Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 how much is the Air Just? I will take it for 10$
lhooq Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 maxman, the Deep Seiko does NOT deserve to be on this thread!
TeeJay Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Just orderd mine At least it doesn't say Rolex on the dial anymore
maxman Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 maxman, the Deep Seiko does NOT deserve to be on this thread! Really?
lhooq Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Really? Yes, really! It's not a bad rep. It's an ironic, post-modern something or other that challenges our assumptions on brand names and status.
maxman Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Yes, really! It's not a bad rep. It's an ironic, post-modern something or other that challenges our assumptions on brand names and status. OK
jmb Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Heh, leave it up to Tony to come up with some of the most interesting fantasy pieces!
TeeJay Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Heh, leave it up to Tony to come up with some of the most interesting fantasy pieces! Absolutely, I have to admit, I'm rather taken with the Deep GMT he's offering, there's been many a discussion of a diver's watch with GMT functions for some time [Edit to add link]
hambone Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Oh mercy Buckets, and Jumping Jehosaphat..... These abominations have emptied my stomach and bowels at once. They are hideous as hideous can be! Kind of like watching the worst movie ever made, "The Human Centipede" Yeeeech!
tabularasa415 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 this thread genuinely makes my head ache.
Axeman Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 best bloody laugh I've had in AGES...Im especially taken with the Pink PAM
Movementum Posted July 5, 2011 Report 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
Applewush Posted July 6, 2011 Report 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.
