cosmosblau Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Not everyone likes our hobby: http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/2011/7/19/just-because-the-destruction-of-a-fake-rolex-daytona.html
mastrmindalliance Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 He'll be heaps getting any more pasalubong from his bro-in-law.
TeeJay Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 It seems this chap's brother-in-law visited Thailand and returned with nice Rolex Daytona for him. It would've been a grand gesture indeed, had it been real - but it wasn't. So, this forum member did what any reasonable WIS would do - he smashed the sh*t out of it with a hammer. If my brother in law did that with a watch I'd bought for him, I would kick his ass
danielv2000 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Damn! He could have sold it for parts here and bought some new tools! Or used the proceeds to buy a Rubber B!
Ronin Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 So does this mean it is OK to take a baseball bat / sledgehammer to: Beck Spyder REPLICA: Cobra REPLICA I fscking hate double standards.
vafarmer70 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 You better not take a hammer or anything close to it, to that Cobra
subbiesrock Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 EXACTLY! The same so-called WISes who turn their nose at reps will ogle at these wonderful cars and marvel at their closeness of replication and how the makers circumvented obtaining old parts. Double standards indeed! Personally I find it fascinating from a techical and economics perspective that the Asians are able to turn out such amazing replications for such a small fraction of gen cost. Now, the Cobra is pretty sweet, but tell me more about this Beck. Looks like a 50's Porsche?
cosmosblau Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Posted July 20, 2011 Someone sure wore the crap out of it first Word.
lhooq Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 I think the biggest crime is that the post and pictures were as dull as dishwater. Even a rep lover can appreciate creative destruction. But a hammer? That's the best you can do?
maxman Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 This dude Is nothing but a attention [censored] douch bag,that is all.

But a hammer? That's the best you can do? There are those two rednecks that take an explosive nail driver to a PAM... That was actually pretty funny, as one of the guys was wearing what appeared ro be a nasty Breitling Navi World rep
TeeJay Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Relax guys it was only the 21j one. It's the principle...
Sipha Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Then he realises it was real afterall ! Edited July 20, 2011 by Sipha
krpster Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 So does this mean it is OK to take a baseball bat / sledgehammer to: Beck Spyder REPLICA: Cobra REPLICA I fscking hate double standards. Often think the exact same thing when I see stuff like this (the watch destruction not the cars). Double standards indeed.

That was actually pretty funny, as one of the guys was wearing what appeared ro be a nasty Breitling Navi World rep Im not puting down anyone due to there living arrangements. That being said,these gentelmen appear to live In a trailer/mobile home. Not really In a position to critque anyone or anything,just saying. Maybe they need to get there own house In order before they talk [censored].
alterego Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 In my humble opinion people who celebrate destruction of "fake" watches are psychologically unbalanced individuals. Hey, would you go around burning the replicas of Leonardo's masterpiece Mona Lisa,that are for sale in the Louvre's giftshop ??? Replica haters are dangerous people who are not able to see that - functionally - the only difference between a genuine watch and the copy is the sign value, as intrinsically both are just metal turned into time measuring devices. Then he realises it was real afterall !
ThinkBachs Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Not any different than kids who show their neighbors how he can burn ants with a magnifying glass...
KB Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Anyway when it comes to watch destruction these guys are amateurs against Nanuq Ken
