TeeJay Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vafarmer70 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 You better not take a hammer or anything close to it, to that Cobra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subbiesrock Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhooq Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share 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.

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.

alterego Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share 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.
