Gffplummer 5 Posted March 22, 2017 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RepGuy 108 Posted March 22, 2017 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elp 26 Posted March 22, 2017 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 ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elp 26 Posted March 22, 2017 elp one thing I am starting to see is if a watch IS waterproof to another level no one can guarantee it 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moondustesp 136 Posted March 22, 2017 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 :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gffplummer 5 Posted March 22, 2017 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
