The Watch Thread - Part 16

[j4jersey.]

Best is go and try both the SF and SM, whichever makes your heartbeat beat faster, buy that 1

Hi all,

I'm stuck at a junction hence seeking advise from timepiece gurus.

Knowing that it's almost impossible to get a brand new rolex sub now (unless I go for grey market at a f**king ridiculous price which I dun intend to). Even my next alternative choice, datejust 41 with black dial, is also on AD interest list now. The AD had advised me it could be a very long wait, especially for the sub.

Now i am pondering my 3rd choice, GS "Snowflake" or Omega SM.

I like the classic simplicity of "Snowflake" n it's renowned white dial but at the same time, kinda attracted by the sporty look of SM. My wife said both good look but of cos lah, she being the CFO, I can only pick one.

Kinda GG here, hopefully some sound opinions from the gurus can shed some light.

Thanks!

The photo i have posted is that of a fake sub with box and papers

Whatever you do, dont buy a rolex because the real one and fake one is totally similar

bluerare and his fake rolex theory again.

can go over to the rolex thread, there is more about rolex.

IMHO he's not wrong. Rolex reps are getting better and better with so many factories in competition (zzf,zf, noob, arf and etc) with asian 3135 movement. Maybe that's why Rolex do a movement change? Unless one unscrew the crown and played with the movement a little, I don't think its easy to spot a Rolex rep from arm's length...

There is a need to inform others of the 1:1 fake rolex existence

There is a need to inform others of the 1:1 fake rolex existence

I wouldn't advise this because there's a larger game at stake:


1) This is a thread for genuine watch lovers, as well as dealers and flippers. You don't want them to harm their businesses as fellow Singaporeans wouldn't you? (Refer to pt 6 as to why)



2) If you continue promoting awareness about 1:1 Rolex, there is a chance curious people will look into the dark side, this will affect HWZ and Rolex reputation


3) Legal actions ensure and proceed


4) Imagine a certain % of people go ahead and stayed with reps, watch industry business will be affected for the worse


5) Money and livelihood affected, they ain't sitting there doing nothing, more trouble ensures


6) Those that cannot survive in the business ended up in other industries, making other industries (logistics/retail/F&B/financial/construction/automobile etc) with surplus talent in manpower more competitive and their employees squeezed.



7) Horizontal aligned businesses like shop rentals, online e-commerce, logistics supply industries profits as well (might be?) affected because gen watches in general could have lesser production if more people dwell into reps.



So in a nutshell, Rolex (and watches) is a neccessary evil for driving economies forward.



And reps isn't something we should discuss in detail in the open, with people unknown to you. Because you'll never know which influential personals (big shots in the industries, not instalgram influenzas) are surfing this thread


Going OOT at this rate. So let's just go back and stick to genuine watches and appreciate the art behind them

I keep telling people my Rolex’s were bought from roadside store in Phuket, but nobody believe me. Say for 20 years liao.

Next time I will refer them to bluerare’s posts.

We are aware of the clones, that why u see questions on authentication here. With 1:1 fakes doesn't mean we dun buy the real stuff, we just avoid the fakes

1) There is an ethical need to inform public and not just shut down news of fake rolex.

2) people who buy fake will stick to fake.
people who buy genuine will not buy fake

3) the legal action will be from rolex to those replica factory

4) refer to point 2

5) refer to point 2

6) refer to point 2

7) refer to point 2

Replica of fake watches is also a watch but there is a need to inform others so that genuine buyers will exercise more discretion if buying a watch

There are others who r in this thread who may not be aware

People spend their hard earned money but what they get?

It will be disastrous if people spend their money only to end up getting a replica because they are not well informed about 1:1 replica

Rolex is one of the most faked watches in the world.

Got any more boring insights? Like everyone will die someday, sun rise from east OMG must let everyone know too.

Some of these old Seiko 5s are really cool.

You are very knowledgeable about fake. You into fake?
