borz Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Just out of curiosity, why is replicawatchreport referenced here, and more importantly, why does it have ByTor's RWG posts on several of its pages? Isn't it basically just a fake review site pimping scam sites selling $500 "swiss" PAMs with pizza slicer crowns? Or is the guy running the site some moron who can't tell his ass from a hole in the ground, let alone a good rep from a bad one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rychastings Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 heh I never noticed that although thats completely rediculous that they ripped off by-tor's stuff without permission or even attribution. Even more reason to stick to our trusted dealers on the rep forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 In fact the guy who runs/ran that place, Richard Brown, was an active member of forums a few years back, and I believe at the time had permission to use articles from a number of our people. He authored the "Replica report" a few years back, which, when it was released was a pretty up to date guide on reps. Don't know if he's still around, but his site has certainly degenerated into a haven for scam artists. Pity. Offshore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audemarsdan Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hey all, That's not me anymore; I sold the site back in May. I removed my name before I sold it but they put it back afterwards and so far haven't responded to my requests to remove it again. It's just another scammy site I'm sad to say. I hadn't updated it in two years and it was getting DMCA notices from Rolex and others on specific pages, so when an offer to buy it came along I was willing to sell. Sorry all, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhooq Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 RWR was my introduction to the modern rep scene, back when I didn't know what a Steelfish was, and was worried about mistakenly buying a fake. I read a few articles, searched for "By-Tor", found several rep forums, and voila... Here I am with a whole pile of fakes! Thanks, Richard.
