Brightight Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Nogs, you took it into a dealer? Are you a complete pr*ck? Or just terminally stupid? Yes banning is essential. Before you go, read some threads about how you shouldn't take your rep into an AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I like that it was not only taken into a dealer but that someone knowing it was a replica asked said dealer to look at it... Guess if the dealer took it it wouldn't be a big deal lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Nogs have a read here pay attention to [25] - Do not visit an AD (Authentic Dealer) with your replica watch and show it of as the real thing. If you do so, we are not interested in hearing about it. Such post will be deleted. [26] - NO replica pictures should be posted on the genuine time piece forums by the members of RWG. A violation of this rule will get you permanently banned. Our little underground hobby does not need this kind of attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterOfPuppets Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Come on people the guy obviously didn't know what he was doing, he only has 7 posts! I say congrats Nogs, and welcome aboard And i hope u learned ur lesson about walking into ADs wearing a rep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeSentier Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Sometimes it could happen, that your watch is seized by the AD.... Unbelivable, but true... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio_Montana Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Sometimes it could happen, that your watch is seized by the AD.... Unbelivable, but true... I cant believe this, although some say this could happen. It is not illegal to own a replica in most countries. It is just illegal to sell them or import them in large quantities. There is no way that a guy from the AD will ever take my watch from me, first of all cause i wont be taking a rep in the AD second when I by accident do have one on my wrist he does not have the right to do that (in the Netherlands at least) and i will never allow someone to take it. I realy doubt that it has ever hapenned that a rep has been taken by a guy from the AD... But off course all could be prevented by not bringing a rep into the AD, prevent the situation from happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I think that's one of those"old wife's tales", that they will take it away. Still VERY wrong. But, should you be foolish enough to send it into a Rolex service center for service, I wouldn't be surprised is you didn't get it back.

deniz21 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 maybe he was knowing the dealer but if not, then it was no good idea... if you want feedback about how the watch looks, here are people who are knowin every singel detail of the watch.. most of the guys here have more knowledge as a AD denz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Well at least he's happy!! And the AD now has plenty to chat about in his circle. My only niggle is if he was prepared, as a noob, to take to an AD I just hope he didnt tell any details in his enthusiasm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeSentier Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I think that's one of those"old wife's tales", that they will take it away. Still VERY wrong. well, my friend, maybe "old wife tales teller" member Grillparzer can tell you something about her experiences with an AD in Vienna...

Nogs Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) well first of all to the guy who called me a p...k ... brave talk for a man who,s sitting a long way away.... you rude f..k second of all, maybe i dont know the rules of the board and maybe i should read up a bit more.maybe a bit od advise instead of a lashing would be a more appropriate way to let me know. i didnt know the dealer.. i actually took it in cause i wanted to know just how good my replica watch is.... so i blatantly asked him is this a real watch or a fake.. he told me he was pretty sure it was a geniune watch.. the only way he could tell was to open it up.. and believe me there was no way anyone would of taking my watch off me now i came to this forum for some help and advise, and i did get some help from a couple of guys, who i thank very much... people like myself come to these places to get help and advise... im pretty new here and do not know the do,s and dont,s yet.. when ive been here as long as you guys have been here.... i will offer help to the noobs.. not call them a p...k like i said i love my watch and thanks to the guys who PM me and helped me press the red button Edited January 30, 2010 by Nogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Nogs Thanks for posting again, I think you should put this thread behind you, you now know that going to and AD is wrong, I do hope that you continue to contribute to RWG.

Brightight Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 well first of all to the guy who called me a p...k ... brave talk for a man who,s sitting a long way away.... you rude f..k Yes, you're right and I apologise wholeheartedly, I was just shocked and reacted, taking a rep to an AD is No 1 in the list of sins in the Rep world as you have no doubt found out. All the rep forums take a dim view of this, and to be fair, you should have read the rules when you joined. However I was wrong to say what I did.

WatchnRoll Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Thanks for the post because I also have a DSSD coming from Josh this week hopefully. The best is not to bring a rep to a dealer but it's not the end of the world. Jeez they are not going to take your watch but the idea is to not spread to dealers just how good our reps are getting...this gets back to those in authorized circles and could jeopardize our hobby...Nuff said it's something to try and avoid but if you happen to have your rep on and see an AD...either take your watch off or wear the rep proudly but never admit or brag it's a rep...that is a dumb move. Act like it's real. I can't wait to get my DSSD this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 ... im pretty new here and do not know the do,s and dont,s yet...

It takes a lot of reading but its worth it mate Enjoy your watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bundamania Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Very Uncool! But, the AD must have been an idiot to miss everything we know is wrong on the V5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchnRoll Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Very Uncool! But, the AD must have been an idiot to miss everything we know is wrong on the V5. It's not very uncool...the guy made a mistake...don't have a cow. Plus those guys at the AD don't know reps and certainly would have a hard time telling a rep DSSD from a gen. They are really close unless they have them side by side and inspect it off his wrist. Anyway...not a big deal. Just don't do it again if you can avoid it.

Any AD worth his salt can tell the difference. We certainly can! They get bulletins all the time concerning replicas.

Any AD worth his salt can tell the difference. We certainly can! They get bulletins all the time concerning replicas. Obviously we already know that the guy in the AD DID NOT KNOW it was a rep. people in AD's often have no idea about the quality of reps. They're often just hired help. Now specialty and vintage shops are another story. Those guys have to be on point, because their business is buying and selling exclusive models working with new, used and vintage models..
