nikki6 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 What kind of watch is that? i'm guessing, now this is a wild stab in the dark you understand, but I think, it could be, a fake one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailboss Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 LOL....small Chinese manufacturers are controlled by terrorist groups....... Those small Chinese manufacturers should sue for slander! I'm sick of hearing this one. The gen folk know just mention a terrorist link and reps become "baaad, mmkay?". Prove it Rolex et al. If you can, I'll stop buying. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Damn, I guess I'd better find a fake person and give them their watch back... I'm a real person, all my parts are genuine (thus far ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammandel Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 And the opposite is? REAL WATCHES ARE FOR REAL PEOPLE. Yes, I bet that this campaign is highly backed by the luxury watch brands (no names mentioned). Just the type of insecure material-driven image character types they like to pray on. I'm sorry in advance for making this generalisation; but looking at the typical 'types' of people on 'Gen forums' makes me angry because of their small interest in anything but showing off their status. The people on this forum have alot more passion and interest in timepieces and watchmaking than most of them ever seem to have. It makes me feel like replica buying is thus the perfect justification of distancing yourself from a pretentious image while gaining the enjoyment of the interest at the same time. Honestly I know people that own gens purely as status symbols, and that angers me - infact thinking about the individual in mind, I'd love to ask him what he thinks the reasons are that it says Oyster perpectual on the face of his watch. Sorry, did I began to rant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, did I began to rant? I actually get your point- and it's an excellent one- It's actually the FAKE people who can afford the REAL watches. Mostly because they're willing to do things that honest people with morals aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLudlowe Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 What kind of watch is that? I don't even think it's a watch, it looks like a drawing - And why bother with an awareness campaign? everybody knows you can spot a fake watch from 20 feet away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
