Dutchy Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Im only having one as a 21st birthday present (only 1 week to go!!)...as its a family gift i will hopefully have it for many years to come. I totally concur with the student sentiment...cant wait to get out there and earn a living...and then spend it all on reps! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sye46 Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I new to the rep scene.... i'm 28 years old, and I have a collection of about 20 watches. All gen which includes IWC, Panerai, Zenith, and GP. I just recently purchased the Pam 29 and PO after I found this site.... so I'm quite nervous about the quality of these watches. My friends have all known me as a watch fanatic... so there is no way they'd think I'd ever wear a rep.... we'll see how these work out. If they turn out alright, I might pick up a few more.... but NEVER EVER EVER will I own a rep Rolex. I don't care how good it is, its still a "fake Rolex". It's so cliche' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I had on my submariner (asian, canal rep) and went to a girl at school a while back saying "I have a Rolex, wanna go out sometime?", it was a dare from a guy in my grade. I went to the movies with her, she said it was pretty original pick up line, I told her it was fake though (hey, I could only afford the movies!!), haha.....am I arrogant...maybe....but had one hell of a laugh out of it... I should have used that line in the club I just came back home from! I was wearing the two tone silver serti dial sub I got from luckyyy. Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Dutchy Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 (edited) Hmmm....well you know what I'm gonna use as a pick up line?? Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... By the way, the Rolex thing doesnt always work! So its your own responability, no guarantees and NO I will not pay any medical bills as result of your actions. Dont forget, this was an 18 year old girl and a true lady at that All the best, Floris Edited April 15, 2006 by Dutchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Carl Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Can people recognise a rep? Can people recognise a gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bjørk Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Can people recognise a rep? Can people recognise a gen? If we are talking about the average citizen the answer is no on the first question (Q1="Can people recognise a rep?") and will assume any watch youre wearing to be genuine regarding your second question Carl (provided the watch is not ROLEX or PANERAI = very often assumed to be fake by the average Joe) In my experience people are more likely to guess that it is fake than to actually spot the faults in your replica BBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A watch nut at work only heard about Panerai through the pictures I have on my screensaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A watch nut at work only heard about Panerai through the pictures I have on my screensaver. At my university, everyone has obviously heard of Rolex, but another well-known name is Breitling. However, like above, Panerai is unknown. This means people will be suspicious of Rolex and Breitling, and more-often accept a Pan or Omega.
