Nanuq Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Last I heard of this was CrazySaleMan's listings for his WWWWatches with "custom DRTRL". Rumors were he was a little slow faxing them out, but people did eventually get their TRLs. I dunno, I'd steer clear of him. He looks "iffy" at best.     1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrari1 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 What are TRL's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt.watch.obsessive Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 TRLs are the hallmark of Grade A Swiss replicas made in the real Rolex factory between 4 and 5 AM and sold through Chinese websites at CRAZY SALE prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 You have to be careful though, the factories have tried to slip shoddy products past us. Years ago I was alerted by PM that a member ordered a DRSD and it arrived with nice thick red ink on the dial. But the factory must have been running low because the TRL was going Mauve. Eternal vigilance! It’s why we’re here. For more:https://rwg.cc/topic/3151-what-is-god-is-wrong-with-me/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Those would be TMLs if they could find suckers to foist them off to. Here we have the taste and panache to recognize the real deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0pperini Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Amazing, thanks for giving me:1) An engrossing read, assisting me in avoiding starting to do any proper work for another 15 minutes2) A very handy emergency watch that I can now use if I forget to wear one againI did forget to wear a watch one day last week, for the first time since I got my first rep a year ago. I felt weirdly guilty, bereft, confused (reasonably normal for me actually) and partly naked (that probably explains the weird guilty part), and I swore to my watch boxes that evening that I would never do it again.

alt.watch.obsessive Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 The best TRLs are replicated 1:1 using an original. The factory can’t just buy the sticker though. They need the whole watch to really see how it’s on there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
