Baldrick 1 Posted January 22, 2011 +1.. baldy's bomb is now but a stinky fart only his wife sniffed..What a let down! Ernie, I iz jus' funnin' wit ya 'gin, do you seriously think that I'd open up the members on this forum ( the good members, the serious ones ), to a shitload of (admittedly deserved), criticism regarding this hobby and the idiotic extremes that some will go to in order to derive some unsubstantiated pleasure from the acquisition of cheap Chinese fakes and trying to lend them some degree of 'credence' and historicity, the members on TZ etc etc...are just as sanctimonious as those dopey 'fake vintage' collectors amongst these fora, only upside to their situation is that they at least invest in something which has both provenance and future resale value, but they would be extremely scathing about our 'hobby'. I have never quite understood the fascination that some people have towards this 'vintage' aspect, whether it be for Rolex Subs or Panny's, in the world of fakes, yes I shall call them fakes, it has no real substantive appeal or value, the feeling of picking up an unadorned WWII Japanese Officer's katana or a pair of 17th century Hussars epaulettes or indeed in acquiring a genuine vintage Panerai, cannot be enshrined in a mish mash of Chinese fakery / "gen" parts and A1 sauce mix, anyone who thinks it can is deluding themselves, those members who "invested' thousands, nay tens of thousands of dollars in these erroneous ephemera are in need of a 'wake up to reality' pill. One can only imagine a GTG somewhere, say Paris. and a room full of these dolts, passing VDB 'vintages' amongst each other with admiring glances, ooh's and ahhh's and concealed envy over another member's 'vintage 5513 or whatever, drunk on the heady passion for acquiring 'vintage' and no REAL champagne in sight, only sparkly wine To wit to woo, to what purpose would anyone spend thousands on these fabrications , I can't imagine, as for attestations to the 'artistry' of said 'modders', who would deliver the panegyric, perhaps Mr Stallone or Mr Bonatti waxing lyrical about the achievements of the mountebanks who have profited so handsomely from the gullibility of the roomful of schlemiels with more money than sense.

pollux1 3 Posted January 22, 2011 Good move not posting on any gen forums BR. It's hard to imagine anyone in their right mind spending that amount on reps which are MADE to LOOK vintage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 997 Posted January 22, 2011 You mad lot do realise that the sauce to age a dial trick is used by more modders than just VDB, yes? It's been around for quite a while and is generally accepted as a legit technique. I don't think we can hold that one against him. The real issue here is non gen bits being passed off as gen. Col.

Brightlight 0 Posted January 22, 2011 You mad lot do realise that the sauce to age a dial trick is used by more amateur modders than just VDB, yes?It's been around for quite a while and is generally accepted as a legit technique. I don't think we can hold that one against him. The real issue here is non gen bits being passed off as gen. Col. Fixed it for you Col. I've come across all this sort of thing in the guitar vintagising line, coffee, tea, sauce, only limited by fevered imaginations. It can be an unpleasant job to clean it off too! Not necessary or even hygenic to use food products there are plenty of dyes, pigments and chemicals around which do a better and more permanent job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brightlight 0 Posted January 22, 2011 Hey what do you know, I'm not to be banned from W-C yet! I find I am actually a miserable jealous person spouting anger and hatred according to Joewatch - I actually find your comments and the other ones on RWG or RWI or wherever rather amusing. Its the same group of miserable jealous people spouting anger and hatred. There are sonme guys who talk bad about me that I have no idea who they are. and he is unrepentant - The VDB's arent "skin deep" I had 10 VDBs (spent over 30K) now I have 4, loved everyone of them and glad I bought them all. With the exception of a few, they all worked fine. The ones that didnt, were fixed by a watchsmith. I still say that VDB makes agreat watch. The problem is that he reperesnted gen parts that werent. And Joe's expert view on what is and what is not 'vintage' - I never said other creations didnt compare to VDB just that they werent true to vintage, throwing acid on a dial or leaving underwater for a while or throwing a case and a crystal in a bag with rocks doesnt make it vintage. More to be pitied than scorned I feel. But I don't think I will bother with W-C any more, the self delusionist nature of the place would get me down. Very Interesting stuff.. This was via PM? Yes this was a PM. I have to say it didn't improve my opinion of said Joewatch. His closing sentences said it all - At the end of the day, I enjoy all my watches, 10 reps, 4 VDBs and over 40 gens. I enjoy the great site I have and everything else in my life. So i wont ban you, you can come look and lurk and say whatever you want on other sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldrick 1 Posted January 22, 2011 40 gens Yeah, they're all from the bottom of the horological gene pool, a few Swatches ( none of the really collectible ones) and a smattering of Ebay and CQout dippers, nothing 'saucy' amongst thm tho', still, he has a 4 VDB's, that's only a small expenditure of $4k X 4 = $20k of A1 produce:rofl: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
