GhostfaceZX Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 And my [censored] is 150 cm long. Or is it as OT as your post above? I think he meant to click on the PAM Power Reserve thread, but got this one instead... And yes, this is still OT, Sorry!! Only time I have ever been asked was when I bought my Dad a gen Tag for his b-day...his first words were.. "Is it real?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highflyingclive Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 ...I usually have several gens ... What? You wear them all at once? Does anyone ever call a doctor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosblau Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I've always owned gens, so everyone around me thinks all my reps are gen. They'll never question me, but if I ever get caught slippin' wearing a rep... then they'll probably think all my gens are reps. I have 20+ Gen watches, and I admitted to a friend that the Arktos I was wearing was fake. He now questions the authenticity of everything I own. "Is that a real BMW in your driveway???" he asked....

sssurfer Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 To friends, I say it is a rep (but they don't have to ask, they know I am a rep nuts). To anyone else: I remove the watch from my wrist and pass it to him, saying 'Judge on yourself'. This makes for a chance to know another watch lover and to talk with him about watches and reps. 99% of people just says 'Nice watch' and gives it back to me. End of enquirings. To any watch lover (0.5%), I say it is a rep. Not because I am frightened (I say that even if he judged it genuine), but for mutual respect between sharers of a same interest, and to promote further conversation. Remaining 0.5% just says 'I am unable to judge on myself'. Then I ask: 'So, how came that you asked?' (I am trying to understand whether their question aimed to personal attack or what). From now on, I just improvise -- but the focus of the conversation already shifted from the watch to the interlocutor, so it's he that now has to be on the defensive side, if he is ill-intentioned. Finally, if I know that he is a dumbass that measures people on their money, I fool it with no pity nor remorse. P.S.: Percentage figures are projections. I've not been asked 100 times.

Guest Watchandpen Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Just got my first good rep, A Breitling Chrono avenger Ti. Wearing it in work today and one of the guys i work with came from right across the room and said "come on then you know id spot the new watch" I take it off and hand it over to him. He had a gen Omega chrono seamaster Ti on. He looks at it and hands it back saying "very nice watch". At this point if i had said thanks im sure he would have accepted the watch as real. My mouth then works on its own and chips in " thanks its a replica". At this point his mouth opens and his hand moves back out to take the watch for a closer look! he told me if i had not said he would have beleaved that it was gen! Have you guys had situations such as this and what do you or would you say?? tell them is a rep or let them think its real ???? thanks for the replys. Tim I tell them my gens are reps and vice versa. It's a gas as they don't believe me anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenWaaaaah Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 And my [censored] is 150 cm long. Or is it as OT as your post above? So THAT'S why you have the nice chick on your arm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 P.S.: Percentage figures are projections. I've not been asked 100 times. So how can you have figures less than 1%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangvert Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I'm in customer service and have to dress up for work. Most people assume that it is a real watch and are not bold enough to ask if it's a fake. My two favorite watches are my pam 63 and ultimate sub. I have told my boss that they are fake, because I could see the funny look he was giving me when I would wear a different watch in all the time. I want to get a raise and not have him think that I'm loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I tell them my gens are reps and vice versa. It's a gas as they don't believe me anyway! Now thats true, i do the same, they dont belive you, i own a couple of gen omegas and lots of reps, omega pam rolies and 5 or 6 vintage watches of varrious makes, even when i where a 1950 vintage west end watch co people think it is a rep of the gen. But then again i do work with some serious fxxxwits. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indyclmbr Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 If it's a friend, I tell them it's a rep. Otherwise, if someone asks me if it's real, I say "Yup." I also try to only wear reps of gens that I could afford. A member from RWG I had said that when someone said "Nice watch, is it real?" his response was "Your wife has nice [censored], are they real?" I think that's the perfect response to the person who disrespects you enough to ask if your watch is real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
