Victoria Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Members Online Today: 961 It's been going up incrementally every day! That's surely good news for the forum. P.S.: I'm worried about the login change...hope that doesn't confuse/drive away lurkers or sometime posters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 The login change shouldn't really affect anyone as you do need to lodge your E-mail to register and those that don't want to register will still see as much as before.

Corgi Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 It may be good news for the forum, but not really for our hobby.... at least my interpretation of it. The last thing I want to do is go on yet another disgruntled rant regarding this issue... but I cannot say this enough: the reason I buy reps is to have the exclusivity and respect of wearing a luxury brand name timepiece. If everyone figures out the ease of which this is possible, then my entire reason for purchasing these watches gets flushed down the toilets. Of course, I love watches in and of themselves... I think they are swell indeed, but there is a reason I have a "Rolex" on my wrist instead of an "Invicta" of the same design - if you haven't guessed what that reason is by now, then you will never comprehend why I hate it when more people join this forum. I hate it. It just burns my biscuits to know that somewhere, some person is figuring out all of the dealers and buying himself, or herself, a beautiful watch just like mine. ... although I don't think anyone really believes my Sky-Moon is real anyhow.

She says the same thing. Only she means it. She has an acquaintance who knows she is wearing a rep blue-faced, solid gold Rolex, because she KNOWS watches. But my mother would rather go outside dressed like Minnie Pearl than tell her about Joshua and Andrew. ... although I don't think anyone really believes my Sky-Moon is real anyhow. Yeah, like your average person knows what Patek Philippe is, and how much our Sky-Moon is worth! I've gotten lots of compliments about mine. Yay! Suckers.

freddy333 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Corgi -- I can see your point, but I am sure glad I got here before you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxus Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 It is true, it's why the more nice watches i see while out in the town, the more I think are fakes.. But I too am glad to have found this great site and everything else it has shown me.. So i guess it's irony at it's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TTK Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 ... although I don't think anyone really believes my Sky-Moon is real anyhow. That goes hand in hand with most members belief that you're not quite real either......how is life in Franadaxas...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Members Online Today: 1014 Must be the Joe Bashing Thread... Mindreader! I was going to post that when at 9 PM or so, I saw it had passed 960 members. I knew that was going to beat my original number above. @TT: I only just now clicked on the Joe-bashing thread. I had to hit Search to find out who he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobM Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 It may be good news for the forum, but not really for our hobby.... at least my interpretation of it. The last thing I want to do is go on yet another disgruntled rant regarding this issue... but I cannot say this enough: the reason I buy reps is to have the exclusivity and respect of wearing a luxury brand name timepiece. And I want more people to have the opportunity to experience the elegance that can be available to them in a watch they can afford. Do I care if "one more person" learns about reps? ... Should I care? Actually all I care about is whether _I_ look good - to me, to my wife, to my friends - with my general appearance. I don't really want to represent that my reps are gens [nobody ever even thinks, or dares, to ask!] I only care about whether my reps please ME. Whatever respect I may garner from my friends and colleagues doesn't emanate from anything glittering on my wrist. If my reps do please me, I am happy if some other person finds pleasure in their reps, including you, Corgi. The more the merrier!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Well, if you are worried about more people buying the same reps such that you are more easily outed pick a few and change them up. Put in a new datewheel, correct that dial flaw, relume or whatever. I am indifferent as to more members. But much more interested in paying ones. After all, it ensures the survivability of our forum.

robertk Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Concerned about more people wearing fakes? Let me see.........a couple thousand members... goes up. Out of a billion people on the internet, now we have to worry about friends and co-workers showing up here and stealing our thunder? Gee, I don't think so. We will be able to continue to wear our fakes in total anonymity. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
