Which rep is most likely to be called out?

Recommended Posts

the common or garden sub as everyone has one so it must be a rep or a poorly done obscure chrono that simply looks cheap?

I just visited Disneyland and there were a surprisingly large number of people wearing rolexes. I wonder how many were real. I didn't have the nerve to ask anyone about them.

You can ask ..

 

I'd expect a visit to the Dentist as a Smack in the mouth often follows !

Agree. Rolex is the #1 choice, only a trained eye can spot out the ineffiencies. I would also call out any watch that is 42mm or larger. As it will be apparent that a watch at that size would be a rep. Ex. Panaerai, Bell & Ross, Hublot. The large face watches can never match a gen quality. I wear my reps 80% of the time, when I'm in mtgs or out with clients, my gens are on for sure.

I contest the Rolex thing. The majority of reps are extremely cheap looking, with quartz movements. I'm sure the majority are also Rolex, but I feel that the average person will notice the overall build quality and look of a watch before noticing a tiny crown on the dial.

Agree with Greg_r. Any Rolex, but particularly the Sub.

Most people even think the gens are reps.

:lol:

Though I admit that I've never understood this whole 'calling out' scenario (just what kind of invertebrate would tolerate such nonsense?)

 

but if you're a gambling man you'll appreciate that any Rolex you see in the wild the odds are hugely in favour of it being a fake

A Rolex paved with diamonds (or any other precious stones).

 

Unless it adorns the wrist of a rapper or head of state.

 

In the same vein any Hublot, Jacob & Co et al.

Rolex. That's pre and post joining RWG (less than a year ago). I'd always put Rolex's in the LV bags category of so faked why would you buy a genuine. Since finding this world I question every high end piece I spot out and about.

Why would you want to call anyone out? I certainly wouldn't dream of it, plus, unless it was something really ridiculous I probably wouldn't be able to tell, and wouldn't be bothered anyway. There's a difference between a close up on your laptop and some dudes wrist..... and my perpetually failing eyesight.

 

Live and let live I say ;)

I don't think so, but given their penchant for all things bling...............there's a good possibility that their watches are.

 

Whether real or otherwise, I find any paved watches on males a tad 'over the top'.

I like to walk down the high street with a megaphone pointing at every watch I see and screaming FAKE

I guess call outs are rare in reality.

 

More likely a comment passed between friends:

 

" see that guy on the next table?"

Hit it it one !!

 

Should some one wear a Rep good or bad that is entirely their decision.

 

All i know is that were someone to approach me to say i'm wearing a Rep they should pin back their Ear Oles to a barrage of Abuse i would normally only see fit for the Building Site

 

Why would anyone think they have the right to say so ..

 

Bad Manners !!

The key is------------------------------------- if you have a shitty education, no money to speak of and you stretch for a V5 or V2 then people will usually not need to call you out. Because it is apparent.

 

I did however get my first comment on the Sub I wore to a meeting this week, a good comment.

I didn't take the question that literally, did the op even mean it that way? I would never actually question the authenticity of another persons anything..... As Dallboy said that would be bad manners.

I assumed the question was more about which do you question in your mind when you see them.
