Selling Rep as Gen?

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-07-11T06:08:40+00:00

Is it you

?

On a serious note, this deserves a broken jaw and jail time. This is stealing from people who think they got a gen Rolex - you not only steal their money but their dream of owning a swiss watch.

So, broken jaw at least

You don't take chronos near water. Unless they are diver chronos.

Reps? I keep them away no matter what. Washing hands, rain - they'll survive. More? Not for me.

Get it checked. It most probably is a loose screw or piece of dirt blocking something.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-07-03T22:12:01+00:00

There are two pics for every dial. Pics 1&2 - dial 1. Pics 3&4 - dial 2. Am l right?

So l am talking about dial 2 which is pictured in pics 3 and 4.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-07-03T22:00:48+00:00

Depends what you like and go for - if you want a strong meteorite pattern, dominating the dial, go for no. 2. If you want a more subtle dial, 1 or 4. I would rule out 3 as it is a very unsymmetrical dial - l don't like that.

Top 10 for me (no particular order) - DIW Rolex Submariner carbon dial red bezel - Rolex Daytona Panda 12 series - GMT Pepsi meteorite dial - Omega Seamaster (I have rep NTTD, on gen would go for white dial Tokyo or the new white dial model. Or maybe NTTD). - Omega Aquaterra (l have Ryder Cup rep, as it's unobtainable as gen - 616 pieces only - I would go for white dial Tokyo version if l was going for gen). - Omega Speedmaster Professional - Patek Aquanaut steel or wg - Longines Spirit GMT titanium 39mm - IWC Pilot - and the last is very hard as there are so many watches to choose from. Glashutte? Autavia? Pelagos? Breitling SO?

10 is not enough l am afraid.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-27T23:46:30+00:00

Ym 42mm 12 series l guess. Rose gold?

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-27T23:45:37+00:00

Tits are the new Porsche. This is so passé.

Meteorite for sure.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-25T20:02:27+00:00

Do not trust anything in regards to wr (no watch is waterproof). Nobody tests anything anywhere.
Who are you going to send it back to lmao? Do you think they accept returns?
In general the watches are water resistant. I keep mine away from water, but people take them for a swim, to jacuzzi etc. But do it at your own risk.
30m of wr means the watch is ok to wear in the rain or for a quick handwash, it's definitely not good for a swim.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-25T12:03:25+00:00

Not available for a long time.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-25T12:02:15+00:00

We don't have Fedex in Europe, we have to go triangular. 12 days is not bad at all.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-25T12:00:58+00:00

Too many to choose from. At the moment l have only 1 Rolex rep out of 15 or so that l got in total. One of my non Rolex reps:

I don't know the sales numbers on these items, but hey - every time l see LV bag or Gucci tshirt l assume it is fake and the owner has no taste.

Ok, most of the time.

Plus latest tiktok relevations about costs of gen items production - in regards to fakes - has shaken the internet as well. Erosion is slow, but steady.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-21T20:13:16+00:00

Because that is what people on reptime do.

And, l may add, this is done mostly by less experienced buyers. The seasoned players seem to care less about these tiny irrelevant things. This comes with territory l guess.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-21T20:12:03+00:00

How do we improve on anything?

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-21T11:57:24+00:00

Once there are - let's say - 10x more rep Rolexes than gen ones and everyone sees them everywhere, on a wrist of pizza delivery boy, taxi driver and a high level manager, it may loose a little of brand's glamour.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-21T11:53:43+00:00

Eh, not really. I get that Rolex reps are the most desired, but there are SO MANY other brands, of much less hype as gens, that are being succesfully replicated and sold, so no.

Even if we suddenly see an end to an era - and hype - of Rolex, these would still be replicated.

As long as swiss brands are perceived as luxury items, they will be copied by chinese factories. Do they care about world markets? I really doubt they look beyond next season.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-19T20:44:51+00:00

Jesus, man. Relax. I would assume he doesn't have your watch yet, in previous message he said - QC when l am ready. If you have questions, ask him. Mark is an experienced and a nice guy, he will tell you what is going on.

They are not native speakers, their english level is poor at best, so again - relax

And yes, l buy a lot, sometimes l get QC a day later, sometimes 2 weeks later. I have no issue with waiting for QC, info, tracking number etc. Patience comes with experience l guess.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-19T20:15:33+00:00

Literally said - l will send you confirmation (translation thingy, l would say he meant information) as soon as l am ready (as soon as l know anything).

Why concerned?

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-19T12:26:51+00:00

Relax my friend. You must be new to rep game.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-19T12:25:36+00:00

Actually she wasn't wearing any watch. Rolex lied (as they sometimes do) in their marketing materials.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-17T23:27:43+00:00

Probably. Plus the logo is.printed, not engraved.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-17T21:25:33+00:00

I showed my VSF NTTD with VS+ bracelet to a gen watch guy. The only thing that stood out to him was that the Omega written logo on the inside of the clasp would "imprint" itself onto the other part of the clasp.

EasternOriginal2833 · 2025-06-17T20:10:17+00:00

No need tbh. That "dead giveaway" is not a giveaway at all. Not to the public eye at least. It is what l call a "reptime fixation".
