hambone Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yesterday I was standing in line for a smoothie and the guy next to me was wearing the same exact HBB gold, ceramic bezel that I was wearing. He said I had good taste in watches, and inquired where I got it from. The USA I said, he told me he paid 22,000 Euro for his, and asked what mine cost, to which I only said "Less". As I walked away, he complimented me again, never showing that he suspected it was a rep. I was also wearing a silk Versace suit,. I think how you carry yourself is a factor in getting called out or not. I have never been called out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion1632 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Honestly I don't know how some people think, my neighbor who knows that I live in a nice house, in a nice area, and that i drive a nice car, remarked to me one day that she just assumed that all my watches were fakes! Huh? Why would she assume that? She just assumed that my Moon watch, IWC port chrono, and other watches... All gen..... were Reps? To this day I have no idea why. Oh I am considering a rep IWC top gun........ :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuDro Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Maybe "she" is simply projecting that she has a closet full of fake designer handbags. I think also that most people think having more than two watches is odd. I have over 20 in my collection and my friends and family think I'm nuts.
