jnkay Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Aside from the stupidity, the WISses over at TRF ripped the rep apart. Makes for an interesting read. http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=79154 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMP Chrono Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I seriously doubt my SMP Chrono would be ripped apart when it's finished - even if I walked into an AD with it some day to look at some other watch ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Funny thing is it takes 20 posts before anyone notices the incorrect hand stack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 The one thing I noticed about the thread, compared to similar ones on TZ, was that no one started flaming the OP, like calling him a cheap wannabe scummer for daring to wear a Fake Rolex!!. Okay, there was some 'busting of the chops', but nothing truly mean-spirited or elitist, which I've always found TZ reeks of... An interesting read, if for nothing other than the social commentary As for the OP who tried passing his rep off as a gen: Shame on you, Sir, very bad form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asim Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 lol that was a great read. im also surprised how long it took for somebody to stand up and start questioning the authenticity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki6 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Funny Slick, I was thikning the exact same thing!! They seem very easy amused over there, as for destroying keyboards with those pics? Must be an inside joke or 'Jocke' as the case may be!! Still the dude was a douche for trying it in the first place! Sixx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 but i will call him an idiot for posting it on there!!! Oh for sure, it's a stupid thing to do, but it was nice to see such a thread not turn into a "Lets make fun of the OP for being poor and wearing a fake..." flaming, as often happens on TZ Right and wrong is one thing, but one thing which really bugs me in life, is elitists. Rather than just enjoying something, they always miss the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 that's true TeeJay! TZ has always been like that. It's a shame, as one would have thought that a community of supposed 'watch enthusiasts' would simply appreciate a watch for being a nice watch, rather than getting all uppity and elitist about trademark infringement Then again, I guess if someone is trying to pass a rep off as a gen, then they're putting across a false image, so I guess it's only fair that they receive a little lesson in the value of honesty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great comment, thoughtful and straight to the point. I enjoy reading your remarks and look forward to gleaning even greater insight on this and many other subjects as I follow your posts.

TK471 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Not only did he post it, but then had more posts fawning over it. Not the thing to do.

trailboss Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Sigh, when will they learn? Pity we can't get the IP's of these fools just in case they lurk on a rep forum. Did anyone notice it took five pages before someone noticed the ICHS? Shows it's not realy much of an issue. If the engraving had been correct, the cyclops AR'd and a gen insert installed I wonder if they could have picked it? That only leavs the minute hand after all. Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 16 (1 members and 15 guests) LOL, the're prob wondering where all the guests are from. Col.

Like most reps, its the little things that all add up that makes one wonder why the picture doesn't look quite right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Things you can always count on: -Day -Night -12 mo/year -60 sec/min -Idiots posting rep watches in gen forums I especially like how the poster claimed to have received the watch from an AD!

SMP Chrono Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I especially like how the poster claimed to have received the watch from an AD! From what I read in the thread, he even went so far to simulate a Gen buying process... like asking for what AD was the best, claiming to have been drooling at the AD's window (ok, I can believe THAT) and so on... trying it on and stuff... probably that's why they didn't want to believe to beaing cheated in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jot9011 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 ...sigh. I wonder what the true intent of the OP's purpose for posting his rep there: 1.) Did he do it because he wanted to feel like he belonged to the Rolex forum? 2.) Was he trying to see how good his rep was by testing the WIS's knowledge or ..3.) Was he planning on trying to sell this watch as a GEN at a later time, and wanted to test the waters, so to speak. BTW...his GMTII-c rep does not look like the one's we have available. I noticed on mine that there is correct spacing between the "GMT -MASTER II" and the "SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER" and the rehaut engraving looks better, albeit it does not line up like it should at the 9.
