Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Ooops, this is not good. Anyone contacted concepta about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 4 replies, and the post died in a day with no further comments, seems as if it's a non issue, best to leave it alone... And anyway, what's the big deal, there is a huge Grey Market for everything out there, from Camera's to Watches, it's all very silly how they go on like drama queen's... I wonder how many of these folks drive a high end car.....that...wait for it....has AFTERMARKET parts on it...like an oil filter, or brake pads...and maybe even the muffler...so does that make the car a "fake", not at all, and neither does making up a watch with a mixture of genuine parts, don't like it, go to the AD and buy it new, and then you know for sure.

jmarin.72 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I totally agree with that R, it was more of an informative post for our members rather than a red alert of course, just happened to stamble on and thought to share with RWG. Besides it's a 3 months old thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I hear what you say Zig and im with that all the way. But if iwc gets his address, name ect ect they could start some real nasty [censored] with concepta and they could turn him out side in! I wouldent want to walk around in conceptas shoes now. If it was me i would go stealth for a while! And i realy think that its one from the rep forums that started that topic, and who knows if iwc isent contacted already!

RWG Technical Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I guess it all depends on where he is sourcing the parts, the reality is that he's putting together a genuine watch, with genuine parts and pieces, I am not sure what he is doing that is not acceptable... I would have thought that this type of post on that forum would generate much more reaction, but it seems to be a non-issue. Now, if that was posted on Time Zone, look out, the majority of those folks are wacked in the head... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarkazz Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 It makes me disgusted that people would actually buy from these people and proudly wear their "IWC" on their wrist. HOW DARE YOU, HOW?!? Naughty boy, you should be ashamed! So funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Gen parts are not illegal. And owning a frankenstein is not illegal. Even building one isn't. And it is not like there is only one person regularly sourcing those parts. I do suspect that if IWC finds out which distributor, AD or certified watchsmith is selling those parts he is toast. And on the dramatic post, wouldn't you be angry if you saw someone else wearing your watch at half the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempire Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 The funny part is that 90% of those guys won't miss a beat if they were offered a half price franken. They get butthurt on principle but would never throw down for an authentic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Wait a minute, they own gens. That is why they are pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempire Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I dunno.. I don't think there are 100's of IWC gen owners in there, more people just putting in their 2 cents.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 What an ass hat. Someone is [censored] we've sourced genuine watches as a FRACTION of the price. Suck it up princess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
