Why not to buy fake watches :D

[ipwn]

Just read this on another forum who bought a replica Rolex. The last couple of sentences had me laughing quite a bit.

What a tit.

"So I got my first two reps because of this community. I ordered them from Joshua and they arrived and now things have changed for me.

For starters, instead of the 5 minutes it takes me to get dressed, it is now about half an hour. I sift through my closet trying on dress shirts for work to find out which ones have the right amount of sleeve in order to flash some watch. I hate wearing my Jacket even though its balls cold out here in Paris. The sleeves on the jacket are too long and with it on, there is no hope of flashing watch.

The metro ride in the morning is now all about picking the right spot to stand. I walk the platform looking for the cutest girl waiting. Nice stockings lady, Im waiting next to you. We get on together and I make it so that I hold the door for her, stretching my arm as far as possible so that my sleeves pull pack and my Rolex blinds her. Did she notice? URghgh

Now we're on the train and perfect, shes grabbed the pole and is standing to my left. I take my left hand and grab the same pole. The train is so crowded that her face is only inches away from my watch. My watch hand is now fully extended to grab the same pole, sleeves pulled way back, and. WHOO HOO, shes gotta notice it now. Out of the corner of my eye, i see her eyeing it. Then i feel her eyes glance at me, then back at the watch... WAIT A MINUTE, what if shes an AD or something? Maybe her father used to have a grand collection and she can spot a REP from a mile away.
ABORT ABORT. hands back into pocket, head slumped.

When will the insanity stop? "

So you're suggesting that buying a $5 "Rolex" (or rollocks, as Del Boy would say) might not be without drawbacks?

If it's a replica, remember the key word being a replica, then there aren't any drawbacks untill you open them. Even then so.

The way i see it is simple arithmetic

Air intake + Confident driver = 1st place

Awesome Rep/Gen + Confident watch wearer = your sister's bedroom = and maybe her kitchen afterwards

This HAS to be Swiss Tony?

Apart from the drawbacks of feeling like a tit wearing a fake.

When someone asks you about it, which will definitely happen at some point if it's something nice, you have two options:

A. Lie about it, say it's real and feel like a tit

B. Admit it's a replica and feel like a tit

Just get a Seiko and enjoy having a real watch.

The watch looking wk, as in cheap tat purchased by peasants.

I dont really care here, just amuses me the level of emotion.

I doubt it. Old cars are far too cool for types like this.

The original thread has gone, but it was along the lines of

"Why don't women like me, i have an Urraco. Here is my pic"

PH'ers then offered sincere advice and life coaching.

Bloke with far too much time said:

The best way to display a watch, is through subtlety. Rather than standing next to the hot girl and grabbing the pole so the only thing she can see is the watch, sit opposite the hot girl and read a newspaper (not tabloid ) The watch will occasionally peek beyond the cuff, and be noticed, but no-one will think it's being flashed about. Subtlety is the name of the game here, not ostentation At the end of the day, you need to put the watch on, then forget allll about it. This has to be something you're totally comfortable and at ease with. It can't even enter your mind that you're wearing a watch. There is no watch. That's the only way to display one without looking like a jerk trying to impress someone with their flashy new toy. Display it by not displaying it.

Jesus... this guy has been thinking about this far too much. If he wants the girl, striking up a conversation with her is going to get much further than trying to show a watch that she probably couldn't differentiate from a £60 one anyway.

I like the little "not tabloid" remark. Like a girl's going to think 'The Mail? Jesus, no way am I going to shag him!"
