histog 0 Posted September 17, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted September 17, 2010 "Fakemaster" and "ultimate version" are an oxymoron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygt 0 Posted September 17, 2010 Fakemaster sells shitty $40 watches for $125 and pretends he handbuilt them. Avoid if you want anything 'Ultimate'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted September 17, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllergyDoc 40 Posted September 17, 2010 Fakemaster sells shitty $40 watches for $125 and pretends he handbuilt them.Avoid if you want anything 'Ultimate'. Has this actually been confirmed, Andy? I see that while he's on line on RWI, he hasn't posted since mid August. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

histog 0 Posted September 17, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spboudart 0 Posted October 12, 2010 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 Posted October 12, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygt 0 Posted October 12, 2010 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 81 Posted October 12, 2010 @ 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. 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...
