docwra Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 you can always spot fakes, not matter how good as they are never exactly the same. especially Rolex (folex), Hublot (fublot) and Breitling (freighling).. can you see the trend . No I cant We arent talking about £5 off the lucky lucky man stuff here complete with comedy misspelled names, Im talking about a watch that my local watchmaker was fooled by until it was actually in his hands, and a handbag that fooled a casual collector until she had a decent look inside it. Hence "genuine fake" and not just "fake", these are quality articles that are rebranded to look like somethign they arent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Ecclesiastes records,“Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.†And why should the unemployed and benifit generation have all the fun í ½í¸œ I suppose it all a punt really, so I'll buy the Patek Philippe or maybe the Rolex, but hang on that Rado looks quite swish, oh bugger! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence "genuine fake" and not just "fake", these are quality articles that are rebranded to look like somethign they arent. understand what they are, but you can tell, for example on rolex's (submariners, GMT, yacht master etc.) anything with a ceramic bezel, the quality is impossible to match without spending the kind of money that Rolex do, for which the method is under patent. all I am saying is that if you're seriously into your watches, you can spot a fake 99% of the time.

docwra Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Whatever mate, Ive got the watches and the handbags, you dont so its pretty difficult for you to judge. And anyway, I said "You can tell if you pick them up but from just looking I dont think so" ........... if your eyesight is good enough to tell a pukka ceramic bezel from the other side of the room you are probably wasted in your current job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudman Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I have a few decent watches - (Omega/TAG/Laco) but my favourite is a 1996 Seiko one of the first Kinetic's Doesn't half come up well after a clean with the Meguiars metal polish and more accurate that than the wind ups !

Payco Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) I'm very proud of the Apple watch I got in Turkey. Think it's a genuine fake. Edited August 5, 2015 by Payco 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a Seiko Gyro Marvel Automatic Diashock from the 60's and I love mine as well but it's showing its age now with the face deteriorating and scratched case. Can't find anyone to refirbish it though Edit..just to say it's still keeping good time. Edited August 5, 2015 by Dicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I couldn't bring myself to wear a fake watch tbh. It's like willy waving, but you've got a dildo in your hand and your tiny package still hidden in you pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 It's like these TOWIE girls, made up to look like models; underneath all the glitz and glamour, they're actually just stinky little tramps and not worth the cost of the make up in their bags. Put it this way, would you buy the watch at that price without the branding on it, of another company i.e. Rolex, Franck Muller etc? If so then go ahead and buy it, if not then you are only buying it to kid on to people that you have spent £££££ on a watch and in reality you only spent ££ on it, and in reality you'll always know you're wearing a fraud. Personally i'd keep your 80 quid, save another 150 and buy yourself a nice Emporia Armani watch which is genuine and people will appreciate it more, and you have piece of mind that it was manufactured under good quality control and if it fails you have some comeback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like willy waving, but you've got a dildo in your hand and your tiny package still hidden in you pants. How does it follow that wearing a fake watch is linked to the size of your Todger. I can reliably inform that you wouldn'tt like mine on the end of your nose as a wart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilside z Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Answer to your question buddy, go for battery otherwise you will have to keep adjusting the time if not worn daily, as automatics wind with the wrist action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As previously suggested, for that sort of money I think the Rotary watches are hard to beat, and usually have a decent automatic movement in. This is all just my opinion of course 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I say, if you want it, it feels good, it's not too illegal and everyone consents, DO IT! Personally I'd be tempted to spend double on a Seiko Kinetic and it'll last forever and is "genuine" JDM YO! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Judging by the plethora of replica bumpers, spoilers, wheels on here I am surprised anyone has bad thing to say about copies Not forgetting fake carbon of course I say buy it Edited August 5, 2015 by Jetpilot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
