RWI prankster: Guy buys rep then posts it on WUS...


gran

Recommended Posts

Rep-hating, Gen-loving purists aside, that guy sure is an idiot for not only posting a pic of a rep watch on a strictly Gen forum, but also for mentioning the forum that he bought it from.  Seriously, how could such a moron even think that was a good idea?! Especially when there are enough well informed guys and gals over on RWI already that could have answered his questions without bringing embarrassment onto himself.

Saw this over there. Too funny. Sometimes you just have to wonder...what the **** people are thinking.

I guess I could sell a couple parts off my 6538 so I can buy an Omega to be a WIS.

You run into this on the Corvette forums too. The purist/elitist. I remember having a discussion with a guy about a 66 Roadster I built and he was kind of dissing me for using a few aftermarket parts...but my car is faster than yours, handles better than yours, is easier to service and actually runs....

omegafan3 "Yes I realize this now I think I might put it back up on RWI for sale so I can buy a vintage omega instead!"

 

I have to admit the prank had somewhat of a Happy ending!!!

Great example. I use the subject of vintage auto restoration all the time. I don't see any problem whatsoever with using non-OEM aftermarket parts on a vintage car if you are just going to be enjoying it. If you are specifically going to be showing it or if it's to restore and flip, then I can understand the need to be anal with parts, but for personal enjoyment who the frack cares? That purist guy sounds like a real a-hole. STFU ands mindz your own bidness.

If he does...... I think it'll be gone before his sale will be public :whistle:

That might be quite a bit challenging to find the $250 nice and running vintage Omega, there are lots of crap-offerings.

 

If he saves up to $900 it might be possible to get something acceptable or he could go for a vintage 1970s $250 TIMEX :partytime:

REal WIS are NOT against fakes....unless it is a fake WATCH. If it is a watch, with a movement and hands and such, then it is a watch and thus cannot be hated by a true WIS. The effort, energy, work and talent that goes into a genuine watch also goes into a replica (fake) watch. Chinese copies are very good these days and I have Chinese movements that rival COSC standards. Any WIS who states that they hate reps (fakes) completely misunderstand the true concept of a WIS.  It is Watch Idiot Savant...not Gen Watch etc. Those who hate reps are usually effete snobs or those who are [censored] that others paid so much less for watches that look and often run as well.
