UB7 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) Just saw this site on a google search and was curious, and when I clicked it the first think I notice is a reference to a few of our collectors on a what appears to be a scam site which links to www.globalreplica.com ...whats up with this? I noticed that this persons reviews are legit and actually decent reviews, but the links to globalreplica looks like a scam? http://www.swiss-replica-watch.com/breitli...nomat-evolution Whos site is this? Is it a scam site or not? Edited October 7, 2007 by UB7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Looks like Richard Brown to me- author of the Replica Watch Report. I don't know how often he comes around here, still at TRC and RWG-1, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) This man is really annoying! Why would he make us more popular! The whole point of this is to have a super secret society... otherwise everyone will have fancy watches! Not smart.

audemarsdan Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I have the ads to global replicas experiment for several reasons: 1. They pay the bills. Really, Adsense sucks for monetizing replica watches. The Replica Watch Report doesn't make much off of it and the blog makes even less. Notice there's no ads for them on repliacwatchreport.com, nor will there ever be. 2. Obfuscation - I don't want to point any fingers in the direction of our real dealers, for their safety and ours. I get asked DAILY where to buy replica watches. Some people are INSISTENT I tell them where. The global replica thing is a way of eliminating this. The blog has been around quite some time, it's really my outlet for posting subjective opinions on replica watches (replicawatchreport attempts to be objective information). I put the ads on the blog as an experiment in advertising. I don't rave about them or even mention them in posts on the site. If they don't pan out I'll eliminate them. The ads aren't for this community in the slightest. While I do mention the replica boards as a source of information it's nothing that people doing a simple google search wouldn't find, so I'm not "outing" anyone. If you want a true private community RWG would be best served by going private like TRC. Frankly I'm always surprised when someone mentions the blog. It's not really traffic-heavy, nor does it rank well compared to the other replica sites out there (nor is it really updated regularly, or have a working rss feed). It's no "scam", nor does it try to falsify information. It's simply a "blog", don't attempt to read more than that into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Traveller Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 This man is really annoying! Why would he make us more popular! The whole point of this is to have a super secret society... otherwise everyone will have fancy watches! Not smart. One of the most common things spammed in emails (besides viagra and porn stuff) is replica rolex and watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
