Rustbucket 0 Posted September 23, 2013 Found this conversation whilst looking for a replica watch repairer in Australia. Made for light hearted reading after a busy Monday. Watch dealer challenges counterfeit seller Nicholas Hacko, a Sydney-based watchmaker who specialises in the sale and repair of vintage Rolex watches, said he was “in an overwhelming state of disbelief and shock” after reading the article, published on Jeweller’s website, about the Melbourne-based online seller of exact copies of well-known brands including Rolex, Tag Heuer, Breitling, Omega. ............ Hacko: Hi, my name is Nicholas Hacko. I am a watch dealer. I've just visited your website and wonder if you also wholesale watches? SwissReplicaWatches.com.au: Hi. Well I am just a watch dispatch person you need to talk to my boss. Hacko: That's fine. However, it is important that before we enter into any business transaction, I want to make sure I am not breaking any laws... SRW: What do you mean? Hacko: Well you guys do sell fake watches, right? SRW: No, not fakes. We sell replicas. Hacko: Replicas, fakes, same thing... SRW: No, no. Our replicas are NOT fakes! Hacko: Oh sorry, my misunderstanding. So you actually do sell genuine Rolex watches? SRW: No, no. You don't understand the difference with fake and replica... Hacko: Huh? SRW: ... not genuine Rolex, just Rolex replica. But definitely not the FAKE Rolex. Hacko: OK I see. You sell REPLICA Rolex! SRW: That's exactly right. Genuine replicas which look identical to real Rolexes. Hacko: Very good. So would you be able to accept payments in replica money? SRW: What do you mean, I don't understand??? Hacko: You know, the replica money. Money which looks identical to real money but it is just replica. Like the stuff I can print on my printer... SRW: [laughter...] I don't know, I am just a dispatch worker. You really need to talk to my boss [more laughter...] Hacko: OK - let's say that I do come into agreement with your boss and he does accept my replica money for his replica watches - which sounds like a perfectly fair deal to me - would you accept that replica money as your wages? SRW: [upset voice] Are you serious??? I don't work for fake money!! Hacko: No, no, no - it is not FAKE money, it is just REPLICA money, mate ... SRW: Sir, I am busy, if you have any more questions please send us an email. Our email address is [email protected]. Thanks for calling. [phone hangs up] ............ Since the Jeweller article was published, Kristiaan Martenstyn – director of SwissReplicaWatches.com.au parent company Brantley Pty – has not responded to further questions from the magazine.

narikaa 129 Posted September 23, 2013 PRICELESS. Simply Brillllllllient Simply old as the hills Been using that line on Condo salesmen in Thailand for over two decades (They rent a pitch usually in supermarkets with a mock up model of the alleged project condo) You let them drivel on, right up to where you pin them down to it being an imaginary condo at which point you declare that you want to buy all the units off plan. When the dopey suit draws breath after spontaneously cumming in his undies and starts frothing on about deposits n contracts you declare no need of such trivia as you want to pay up front for all of them in full. Another pause for him to squeeze out a few more emissions then then old one two 'of course youve no objection to imaginary money for your imaginary condo' .

trailboss99 994 Posted September 23, 2013 I still don't know how this blithering idiot is still in business - amazed he hasnt been closed down by one of the major manufacturers... Nick or the twerp from SRW (sorry Nick)? Yeah, buggers me as well. I am assuming there is some loophole in AU law that they have become aware of but damned if I (or Nick, I've asked and has NFI either) know what it is.
