Link Is not working. OMG, my brother Is going to join one of those rep forums, . Guess how disapointed they will be when little brother has nicer looking watches and knows a [censored] load more about timepieces In gereral. That cant be good. Mike

[lhooq]

What do they argue about? Whose is more fake? Whose date cyclops looks the crappiest? Bet on whose leaded 18k "Gold" flakes off first?

Actually, those are pretty good thread ideas...

[HauteHippie]

LOL a fake forum. This is all but a dream!

[Nanuq]

Actually, those are pretty good thread ideas...

Whose looks the fakiest? I nominate this one!

[metaljesus]

I dont know whats more disturbing, The fact that there is a forum for fake watches or people would publicly admit they buy fake watches. Yuck! Imagine the character of people you would meet on a fake Rolex forum? Sad just sad.

That and there also probably are people discussing design tips and spreading "authentic" knowledge from forums like TRF in order to build a better fake.....

IMO a bunch of CUxts stuck up there own arses

[Member X]

Now don't beat about the bush, Andy... LOL

That's the sort of thread that I want to post a picture of an ultra-franken of a really rare model, or even a modded BK/WM9 v3 Sub, just to see how long it took someone to notice it was a replica lol

[ubiquitous]

Whatever they have to tell themselves to justify or feel better about their purchases is fine with me.

[Member X]

Nothing like being open minded...

Its almost like when you buy a Gen you get the makers of the brand to think for you, and shut down your own brain because you have "the best" and you dont bother about anything else... Like timepieces in general

Do not know if that came out the way I wanted but.....

EDIT: When SOME people buy gens!! Not all of them *hehe*

Well said. Have you seen, for example, much of what passes for "art"? I can't speak for anyone else, but it sure seems like there's a lot of people that ascribe value to their "art" simply because it was expensive.

Same with watches, eh? Thinking to themselves... "I spent over six grand for this thing, so look how wonderful it is!"

[mumum]

How do I join, quickly tell me,

this place is filled with uneducated, unknowledgeble fools... I need a real place with close minded, know-it-all like me

(btw, isn't rolex the best? And what's a VC, AP ect.?)

[southcoast68]

Let those folks alone with their own opinions. The less they know and understand about this little corner of the watch collecting hobbies, the better off we will all be. Lets be sure to give this guys brother a warm welcome when he gets here.

Cheers

PS, I didn't know we were all Russian mob here .

I tried the link and it still works; remove the 2 x's between h and p at the beginning, and replace them with 2 t's.

Number 1 - Hilarious that there are people over there that would prefer an Invicta over a WM9

Number 2 - I would love to answer to the Q: "what do they discuss there" A: how overpriced many gens are and how a watch actually works. Most of those guys don't know past the bezel how good or not the construction of those watches/movement are.

Funny thread and very typical.

[dluddy]

It's the Build vs. Buy mentality - some folks will never get that

Never understood the fun in laying down your Platinum card and walking home with a watch

I could think of a few where that'd be very fun...... as long as its someone else's Platinum card.
