Don't put a watch in your pint

Recommended Posts

Well it seems the local I drink in all want to have a look at your new "authentic" Rolex which cost £100 and the first thing they do is throw it in your pint, anyone else suffer this ha?

None of my watches, rep or gen, leave me wrist when out in public, and they sure don't get handed to someone else. Sorry to hear about the damage, but a bar probably isn't the best place to "test" a rep :lol:

Waterproof 30m = keep your rep 30m distance from any source of moisture and you'll be fine :)

If someone tried that in my local I think the end result would be bloody .....

Indeed, take any assertions from the dealers with a pinch of salt. Now, you can grease the gaskets of a non-chrono and tighten casebacks / crowns, etc., then get your watch pressure tested for peace of mind. I've been swimming withe reps and scuba diving with my one remaining rep following these steps. Lots of threads about this, for example: http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=3544

My mate used to do this with a genuine GMT if anyone asked him if it was real he dropped it in his pint and said look yeah, Still makes me cringe and guess what that GMT stopped working and he sold it not working for not alpt of dough :(

It's called having pissed arseholes for mates I guess Dalboy, there are more and more reps around and people obvs wanting to pass them off as real, mine was apparently an eta and didn't show any obvious signs of leakage but mysteriously kept stopping afterwards, I /might use this as my first watch to take apart and explore

Lets hope he is as swift in covering the cost when it gives up the ghost .
