Phoenix Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I read an article about a Rolex watch enthusiast whose mate had just bought a 'fake' for about a tenner. He said that the two were identical in every respect (except for the movement, of course), just that the fake was a little lighter in weight. Ironically, the fake kept better time.

KBB Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Fake watches from a looky looky man are a must purchase on holiday. we went on a lads holiday and all purchased a fake watch and the bet was if anyone's broke before we returned home they had to buy 2 bottles of vodka for pre drinks. 2 lads watches didn't last 3 days.

Cisse Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I didn't mind about those fake watches until I learned that some of the money spend on those is used to finance terrorists in far east. Of course it's the case with other products too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what I ever did with it. Didn't you bahter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be destroyed like all fakes, if I took a fake Monet to France to have it authenticated and it was deemed a fake they would destroy it, so why not watches?

Won't let me embed images. That's very bling mate... Pimp stuff Thats what I love about watches though, something for everyone and every occasion. The only thing I can't get on with is leather straps.. Find them really uncomfortable, like my watches to be fairly loose on the wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leather (watch) straps are more comfortable to leave on at night, but they can take on a character of their own after a few days!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Angry, I got one of these in June, very pleased with it, might be worth checking out, you could tell the Mrs it's considerably cheaper than the Omega so you've saved a packet, she'll think you're marvellous.

I've bought the missus a couple of Chris Wards watches, both been great value and no quibbles when something went wrong with one, returned fixed within 7 days free of charge, even though it was a bargain basement one!

Gypsy Ram Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 My brother has the apple watch. He makes calls from it - very star trek like. When I grew up I want to be just like him. Apart from that flashy watches are for drug dealers, poncy wannabes or rich Arabs from dubai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
