mianos 0 Posted September 21, 2011 On the other hand, I do wonder how many wives and people who bought a rep not knowing it was a fake, have taken a watch into an AD to get fixed. (The date wheel seems to have dropped a bit :( ). I'm sure an AD service centre would see quite a few very low end reps on a regular basis. I'd guess they'd just politely inform you that it's a rep and maybe you should look elsewhere for service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted September 21, 2011 I think we should prepare a flier, with ReplicaMake's web address, and several different popular reps, with pics and prices, and paste them to the display windows of ADs in the middle of the night. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 83 Posted September 21, 2011 Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can request cheesy niblets from old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is sacred. Even those who make said cheesy snacks are under considerable economic stress at this period in history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tag 0 Posted September 22, 2011 So I took my watch to the local watch repair shop, not that I was afraid of standing face to face to an AD, but there is no AD in the place I live. That was a funny experience, first the master was the lady, that made me nervous but I thought I will give it a chance. She was fighting with the bracelet of my brand new Tag grand carrera for about 20 minutes, she even call another lady to help her slamming the hammer! End result - 2 links removed and some minor scratches. For some reason I would not trust her to work on the movement! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opus9 0 Posted September 22, 2011 Yes especially take your Rolex rep to AD ! They are always intrigued how our reps are getting better and better so they size the bracelet for free and make visual inspection and service of the movement for free also. NOT. Never take the rep watch to AD ! Find an friendly watchmaker that will size the bracelet for you, but sure not AD ! Hope this helps lol...you even had me thinking has Matej lost his marbles..lol...nice one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirDomino 0 Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) From what I understand, Rolex has the right to confiscate a fake watch and even to sue you for the infringement. Once an item has their logo on it without their permission it may be considered intellectual property theft, possibly a felony and the watch is evidence. Most watches get confiscated when folks send them in to get them serviced thinking they are real watches and they turn out to be fake. Most folks that work at an AD wouldn't be able to know for sure, and I think it rare to ever have an employee actually try to take a watch from an individual customer. Here is a case of a guy who brought 8 low quality fake Rolex watches from China and was fined $55,000 by US Customs/Homeland Security. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20070509/151831.shtml Makes me think twice about wearing a replica when traveling on a plane or going on a cruise ship, especially if I have to go through customs. Of course, if you modify a Rolex with non-genuine sanctioned Rolex parts you will get this on your receipt if you send it in for service. "The addition of non-genuine parts to any Rolex watch renders it a counterfeit as defined by Federal Law. It is therefore unlawful to sell or offer such modified watch for sale. Rolex will not service watches altered with non-genuine parts or accessories. All parts are replaced on a trade-in basis." They supposedly put a guy in jail just for wearing a fake Rolex, which the guy claims he had no idea it was fake. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/tm_objec...-name_page.html So I suppose it depends which Rolex dealer you visit, or send your watch to, and which country you are in in regards to the risk.

cvp3 2,103 Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) I take my watches in for sizing quite a bit. I just explain that I picked the watch up off a site called RWG. They have these "approved" vendors so everything is legit. They of course pick up right away that the watches are reps and I just explain that I had no idea. I've only had one bad incident where the shop owner refused to return my watch. He stated that "it was wrong to have a replica watch" and that "he felt bad that I'd been taken advantage of". He then gave me a genuine Breitling Super Avenger for free and said to stay away from "those websites". You can't imagine how grateful I was for the advice. I then sold the Breitling on ebay for $5,000 and simply bought 10 awesome replicas. Lesson learned.

NFleischer 4,355 Posted September 23, 2011 Rolex bracelets are super easy to size. Get a jewlers screwdriver or an eyeglass repair kit. Even I can do that! Pins are much harder to work with, especially on ceramic watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
