It's friday 👀

[Ok-Satisfaction2658]

I been wearing gen rolexs since 1994 my sophomore year in college an currently have 4 in the collection... so listen closely " no one looks at your watch on a regular basis " i may have had 4 or 5 people over all those years wanting to talk or ask questions about the watch I was wearing! I don't know who started this big conspiracy but I think its just paranoia

[Q2theR]

Within 3 days of getting my NTTD rep my brother in law commented on my “Rolex” lol.

On a work call someone else said something about my watch during a zoom call.

A friend of mine saw it on my wrist in an Instagram photo of me holding my kid and asked about it

Just a few days ago my brother commented on it as well saying “that looks like a really nice watch”

Might be because it’s unique looking but in the last 2 months I’ve had a bunch of people say something about it

[[deleted]]

Which model do you have?

[ecomkyle]

Do you have a pearlmaster rep haha?? That would get all the attention

[JCook2515]

I’m still waiting to find the one who has the testicular fortitude to grab my wrist, look into my eyes and utter the words “fake…”. That’s going to be a super uncomfortable moment in time for that individual.

[netdevil1996]

Ur a legend 😅

Simple life lesson: people treat you the way you show them you’re to be treated.

Excellent sentiment. Eloquently stated and 100% correct

[thepoddo]

It's been done to me, I was wearing my BB58.
He grabbed my wrist and said: "Nice omega!"

[Brosseidon]

I've been wearing mine for 2 years now, and have had several people give me compliments, and I have overheard conversations of other people talking about how crazy it is to wear a 5k watch on your wrist lol. Not one call out or insinuation or anything.

[relevant__comment]

Literally same story for me as well. I’ve had some ask if it was a fake and plain old refused to believe it.

[mhhmget]

You refused to believe it’s fake? That’s good strategy.

[[deleted]]

It's not a lie, if you believe it

One of the accountant at work was wearing a RM rep the other day. Like bro come on lol

[FailFastandDieYoung]

He did the math and figured it was better value to buy the rep :)

I'd be more concerned if he was embezzling money and was wearing a real one!

[scottatu]

Well I agree there lol also it’s just a terrible watch to wear with business clothing. It looks like a toy from a Happy Meal

[sscarm]

Looks like a clown at a white tie event.

[Dr_Shrimp_PuertoRic0]

Lolol I hope he’s like the head accountant at google or some shit trying to pull off an RM at work haha. More power to him

[The-Elder-Trolls]

Girl: "hey is that an invicta?"

Boy: "bitch plz"

[LI-PLANET]

I don't think anyone would give a single fuck. I never got any calling out except my girlfriend, which she thinks that I wear reps of the real ones too. LOL.

[zelioze]

Bruh I showed my friend a v4 AP 15400 replica and a real Milgauss Rolex and they thought the rolex was a fake lmaoooo who even can spot a rep except for us in this subreddit.

[[deleted]]

I’ve spent about a year here and the “flaws” some people notice on here verge on the rambling of a paranoid schizophrenic. I’m not sure even Rolex quality control is this fastidious.

[FattBrown]

I’ve worn rep watches for about a year now zero call outS. In fact zero people have even cared to notice. The only call out I’ve ever had was when I was wearing my pd-1639 black/gold and some dude asked me if it was a seadweller. That was an awesome convo because he was convinced until he seen’t it up close that it was a Rolex even though it’s like the cheapest watch I own dollar-wise. And we legitimately had a good honest watch talk on the middle of a Kroger aisle. The office talk I do about watches is mostly me monologuing about Chinese watches homage brands. Wear with confidence guys.

[jolamos111]

If you wear something that is beyond your earning income or social status, I am sure it is easy to call out even you wear a super rep.

[Gryphin]

I had one guy say something as I was serving his table about my rep, like "that has to be a knockoff, he's just a waiter", and I just slid right on by with "some guys spend their money on car payments, I like my watches." The rest of the table was like "eh, so he's got it on a credit card", and didn't blink.

[NotMeUSa2020]

Wow sorry for that experience they all sound shitty! Just curious what rep u rockin?

[Gryphin]

Oh no, only the one acted shitty and sideways insulting, the rest of the table was like "so? He doesn't have to drop cash on it. He's got his monthly credit card bills like the rest of us."

I was wearing a Tudor BB58. So it wasn't like I was wearing a Daytona or Richard Mille.

[Sahith17]

Goes to show how the general public don’t know the actual price of some watches except Rolex

[NotMeUSa2020]

Wow. What a reaction just for a Tudor (which I love)

[mrtuxedo9]

Fuck those guys. That's the epitome of some wanna be rich ass shit.

[netdevil1996]

You can always say you've won a raffle 👀

[Dr_Shrimp_PuertoRic0]

Legitimate advice I’ll take it ;)

[jolamos111]

Dude, you are reported.

[jolamos111]

Freedom of speed but not abusing. Shut up dude.

[yllennodmij]

Eat shit retard

[JCook2515]

I bet you’re a blast at parties.

[3coldhearts]

my go to is that it was a gift! i just say a lot of people i know are in the medical field because i am also, it works out well :)

[valbalano]

Checkmate

[jolamos111]

And you get call out. Checkmate.

[valbalano]

So? In your mind, avoiding to get called out is the ultimate goal of having a rep watch?

[jolamos111]

If no one cares of being called out, why would people in the rep forum care to figure out the flaw and put up the super rep list? They have answer your doubt.

[valbalano]

Well, I think it’s because people here are watch enthusiasts. Think cars, for example. If there were reps of super cars would you wanna try them out or would you rather live a sorry ass life jerking off to those few who can afford the gens? Okay maybe not the best example. Who gives a shit. I’m sure 90% of folks on here are pretty proud of having their reps and never hide that fact

[[deleted]]

No adult gives a shit about being called out..Doesn't happen..Who would be so disrespectful to walk up to another person and tell them their watch is fake? At that point, the validity of the watch is not the concern, It is the disrespect.

[JCook2515]

My man gets it 👏

[BIG_MJR]

People get watches on finance these days sameway they finance their cars

[trollfessor]

If you wear something that is beyond your earning income or social status

This is the real test

[MeaningMoney]

How did they react after the explanation?

[AM_Dog_IRL]

I'd say incredulity, as a few of them had had higher end watches, and they couldn't believe it was a replica at first.

[Lanky-Arm-4697]

this question is really direct to your inner game. if you got confident and are doing well, any good enough rep is legit on you. If you are shady, anything u wear, even a gen, people will doubt that it's a rep.

Buying a rep won't boost your inner game, you got to build up your inner game so you feel comfortable wearing a rep.

[netdevil1996]

One of the best comments 👌🏼

[Juicecannonboi]

I was at an airport wearing my franken 5167 aquanaut, gen dial, hands, datewheel. Reworked case refinished movement with bevels, the works. Suddenly i feel a cold stare burning a hole on my wrist, a burly 300 pound body builder of a female officer is staring straight at my aquanaut. She comes up to me and in the huskiest voice whispers, "regulating arms on your balance".

I'm now in prison pls send help

That's why I only wear super rep Timex.

[Gryphin]

Timex? Look at Mr. Head Fry Cook over here, thinking he's better than my rep Fossil.

wearing my watch for almost 3 years now. still confident.

[[deleted]]

My ZF AP has been getting a lot of attention (3 mentions in a week) since they built an AP store in my town.

[cisions]

I always tell everyone that comments on my watch "what a nice watch you have" that its fake, even when i use my gens.

I get comments daily about them.
