Fakemaster?

[histog 0]

Having ordered an Omega from Narikaa I was telling a friend,

he has a better job and hence more money and is thinking about an "ultamate" version

having looked about to see who's are the best versions i came accross a name "Fakemaster"

i cant find on here and hoped for some advice as he seems to get very favourable reviews elsewhere

 

thanx

"Fakemaster" and "ultimate version" are an oxymoron.

Fakemaster sells shitty $40 watches for $125 and pretends he handbuilt them.

Avoid if you want anything 'Ultimate'.

[Ska 11]

Fakemaster is well known now as a long standing scam artist who preyed on newbies and sold utter shit for three times it's value.

 

Avoid like the plague and stick to the trusted dealers. If you're after the Ultimate Planet Ocean Mary is your best bet.

Some say he is also a water buffalo pussy, they be right.

Has this actually been confirmed, Andy?

 

I see that while he's on line on RWI, he hasn't posted since mid August.

AD: I suggest you talk to Col about this. I don't want to say too much that might be out of line as this is really RWI's business, but suffice it to say that Fakey's former reputation is in tatters.

And it wasn't a great reputation to begin with, as I came to find out...

Thanx guys, it was the "he makes them" that draws you to him

as you imagine the extra effort is put in but ill stick to your recommended dealers

 

on the bad side tho, coming on here makes me wish my watch Omega from Narikaa was here Grrrrr

[onzenuub 307]

Allways thought Fakemaster had only one reputation: being an idiot.

...and causing trounle occasionally too...

Forgive my question, but why is he still trusted at RWI, then? His moma is Russian mob?

I think he has some photos of Col in an uncompromising postition which he uses as blackmail

Nah - we've all got those. Col doesn't care

[AllergyDoc 40]

 

Unless it involves his goats, I don't care either. (Not that I would want to see the goat pictures.)

The whole funny thing, and I'm not defending Fakey in any ways:

Anybody that has bought a watch from him has ever complain.

Probably why he is still on RWI.

 

@ Greg r:

First time I see an occasion on this forum to rag on someone and you retaining some crucial information, that I'm sure will take this thread in History.

[AllergyDoc 40]

There have been other occasions—many more than I know of, I'm sure—where Greg has held cards close to his vest. Nothing historic about this thread.

I bought a sub from him for $125 and it's the same piece of shit that aoobuy sells for $50.

Okay. How RWI deals with this is their business.

 

However, I'll confirm Andy's comments on this one. I dunno how Fakey got away with it for so long, but he got mystery shopped, which served to confirm what was going on - i.e. you were paying for a bit more QC, but little else.

 

He hasn't posted either here or at RWI for some time, so the whole issue is rather moot anyhow. Suffice it to say that when I caught him approaching newbies here, we threw a lid on it pretty quickly.

 

Having said that, I wouldn't call Fakey a scammer. I sincerely believe that he means well - there's definitely a Walter Mitty streak going on there, though...

Just curious. What made you think this was a good idea in the first place?

[greg_r 81]

Dems - as always, you cut right to it. Great question
