fuck off pls

We'll end talking about porn for sure

...

What's up wristlets?
Cannot handle real men's watches?

It's useful information. Not everyone is rich.

...

I don't understand how people can wear watches that close to their hand to begin with, it's uncomfortable as all fuck if you have to move your hand at all.

Pretending to be rich is far worse than just being poor/middle class

e.g. Archie

The replica watch forum maintains a list of reputable dealers who've been selling for years and won't scam you.

He's not pretending. He used to be rich but then he fucked his life up.

Reps are for people who are too smart to waste money on overpriced """""Swiss""""" watched made with majority of their parts from China.

Should I bid? First bid is ~$3400.

So, he is pretending that he's still rich....

Getting sold a fake watch is generally what I would consider being scammed

>He used to be rich
He was never rich. He just used to have a job to pay his creditors.

>Reps are for people who are too smart to waste money on overpriced """""Swiss""""" watched made with majority of their parts from China.
Reps are for poor people pretending to be rich.
If you like a design, buy a homage.
Hell, you could even buy the exact same watch, but you should remove the brand name.

Are you that obsessed with brands?

I'm that obsessed with respecting brands and the designers of those brands.

comment disowned, thread put on ignore list.

see you in next thread gents. I refuse to participate in this one.

ps: eat shit OP.

>buy a homage.

Rep is the highest homage

So.
Where do you guys buy your fake Daniel Wellingtons?

Love this watch.

Aliexpress has them and fake NOMOS for $5

Pure Class

Any of them sell parnis or sterile watches?

Aliexpress sells Parnis and sterile and I'm sure the dealers can get you a sterile version form the factories.

What's with the Rolex astroturfing lately.

Half a year ago nobody was posting Rolex, now it's Rolex this Rolex that? I don't buy it.

Are you implying that Rolex of all companies, are hiring shills to shitpost on Sup Forums?

They make good watches, and the criteria in which people are looking for watches, and price range, tend to lend themselves to quite a bit of Rolex's range.

That is a really sexy Rolex Cellini. What reference?

$3400 isn't too bad for a Rolex in general, I'd go for it if it's a reputable seller.

why is her face so masculine?

third

Inbreeding

Why the fuck are we being swarmed with fakes and rep shills?

Please fuck off

is that actually a real model they made? that looks properly awful

Marketing

Not a fan of Rolex dress watches. They're okay but to me it seems you'd be too much of pleb to have investigated other brands.

Much prefer a Jaeger for dress pieces

Well, at least part of it is that I've been very impressed with this Datejust since I had it serviced and put it on leather. I'm usually a vintage Seiko, Omega and Lemania fag but this watch has really impressed me. The 3135 is quite an impressive movement.

If I was going to spend $3400+ on a watch I'd at least get one that looked good

When is seiko going to release a sub 200$ diver with hacking and handwinding like ray ii.

The SKX isn't even like the first, dum dum.

a rep can't be worse than those soviet watches so loved on these boards, you literally look insane wearing them. When I see a guy wear one I wonder if he wears it to connect with his long lost soviet sailor daddy who allegedly knocked up his mom. it's fucked up.

It's a Geckota, I got it from the Watch Gecko eBay store.

Ghastly.

t. normie brandwhore complete pleb

>>/csg/

But all they need to do is swap the movement for a 6r15.

Ree.

>astroturfing
learn what it means

And more to the point: Rolex is popular because of brand recognition. There's nothing special about them except their brilliant marketing strategy.

kek

I bought a fake Speedy from Torobravo a while ago and beflroe long one of the pusher fell out and the watch stopped. The circlip had fallen onto the flywheel and jammed it still so I fixed that. About a year later I was winding the watch and the crown sheared off in my fingers....
I fucking loved that watch though. MAde me want the real thing so much more but it was a damn good substitute.
I still can't face forking out £1500 for a real speedy.
The fake costs like £190. You can see the dials are too spaced out.

No homage comes close to a Speedmaster. They all just miss the aesthetic.

>£1500 for a real speedy
Where can I get a MOTFM for £1.5k?

And remember: Fakes wear fakes

Speedmasters are ugly as fuck. It's all meme hype.

You can't but £1500 will get you a Speedmaster.
I loved the aesthetic of this watch and literally nobody ever even noticed it was a replica of a £6k watch. Never even got any compliments so I really wasn't posing with this. It is just a design icon.

>Nothing special
Incorrect. Rolex is one of the absolute best quality production watchmakers in existence, and hasn't stopped giving a fuck about movement engineering in the post-quartz era, unlike most of the other Swiss production watch manufacturers.

Rolex has even recently introduced a +/- 2 SPD accuracy rating on their 3235 movements.

Not to me, man. I love this watch and it's so understated.

Now a fake Rolex is fucking dumb.

THIS

Domed Acrylic is the best

>tfw too intelligent for sapphire.

why has noone posted an iwatch?

I like this watch and would like to own it but I don't think I could pay Rolex prices for it.

Opinions on Oysterdate 6694?

Monthly reminder that this shit literally just belongs on /fa/ and I'm not even trying to be a pain in the ass memer about it.

Bulova moonwatch

Why are fakes such bad quality?

The answer might be obvious "because they're fake duh!".

But if you take a second to think about it, the price you're paying should give you a decent quality watch.

For example that user was talking about his £190 speedy fake breaking. But you can pay £100 for an Alpha Paul Newman homage and have non of those issues.

So yeah, why are homages better quality than fakes?

They have no reputation to maintain. You don't know who made the fake unless you know you're buying directly from the manufacturer

Well arguably true, but it depends whether we are discussing the aesthetics vs. inner workings and functionality. Like you, not being a pain in the ass, just throwing it out there. DESU this is probably the least retard heavy thread I've been in all day

>Why are fakes such bad quality?

They're not. They're often higher quality than originals.

>But you can pay £100 for an Alpha Paul Newman homage and have non of those issues.
really? do you actually thin that's true? a watch assembled by kids from shit materials with 0 QC won't have any problems?

There are threads full of happy people on WUS.

The underlying movement is the Seagull ST19 which has been refined since the 1940s.

A shitter version of the movement used to be good enough for Breitling.

>Why are fakes such bad quality?

$5 fakes maybe but $250+ are excellent quality

...

Why would you risk wearing a fake?

Why would you run the risk of a watch enthusiast spotting it and knowing how much of a cunt you are.

What if your boss, or a client spots it's fake?

If your boss asks you why you own a fake, tell him its because he doesnt pay you enough.
If a client spots a fake yer fucked.

>speedy fake with a display back

What were they thinking?

1. Do any speedies actually have display backs?

2. Showing the movement means you can tell it's fake because that's not an Omega movement

You wouldn't wear a luxury watch to a meeting with a client anyway. That's incredibly bad form.

>some people who just got theirs haven't had any problems
amazing

Cease this talking about fakes at once!

Back to watches, we all know Lemania movements. What about Lemania watches? Seems they don't get much love

Depends on the location. It's common where I live

If they were bad they wouldn't be popular.

It's common to display "Hello I am ripping you off and making myself rich on your money" on your wrist?

What Rolex is this? I want one to try and get better at CS:GO.

Wouldn't the additional weight of the watch effect your gaming?

That's why I don't wear a watch to do archery.

Yeah, like a $300 brand new Sub knockoff with 112 degrees of amplitude and +65 SPD.

Then you can have the pleasure of having a watchmaker laugh in your face when you ask if it can be fixed.

Nobody cares if you wear a fake. I'm around a lot of millionaires and they never flash their watches. It's always tucked under a shirt barely peaking out, just like mine.

I have a vintage Lemania issued to the South African Air Force.

Fuckoff Archie.

>There are Chinese 7750 clones

Why have I not seen these in any watches?

The ST19 seems universally favoured in all Chinese Chronographs.
