  1. No no no! . Half of the enjoyment from good watches is saving for them and then being able to buy it. In the same way you would save for a z. Sense of achievement. - I think? Plus, you can always spot a fake Rolex If you can see its face
  2. I'm not convinced still on the omega Only joking!
  3. yeah without checking, Rolex is all i really know about to be honest. more out of fun than anything else. The easiest way to tell a fake GMT watch is that there is a very common and cheap Chinese mechanism that most fakes use. Said mechanism does not have the correct internals to allow the GMT hand to sit over the top of the hour hand. so it should be (from the face of the watch towards the glass/crystal: hour, GMT, minute, second. Some of the better fakes actually change this mechanism which is time consuming and expensive, if that's the case then normally the way to spot a fake rolex is: - the rehaut (the Rolex engraving on the inside of the bezel). I must say that yours is probably one of the better ones I have seen. - the bezel lettering/spacing - alignment of the numbering, minute markers, rehaut, rolex crowns - needles, the hour hand should have a small white infill (which yours does), normally fakes is much bigger - main crown, the 'hole' on fakes is normally much bigger than the real watch and so on.... if all else fails, as soon as you try and change the time or date, the mechanism won't function as it should its quite interesting when you start looking in to. Also there is a 'cult' of people who seem to get kicks out of buying 'fake replicas' and then modifying them to as close as the original as possible.. with correct boxes/paperwork etc I must add!
  4. You did that without checking the picture first, right? Otherwise that would just serve to prove what Ive been saying all along. WinkJ - the Rolex is a genuine fake, the other two are real. apart from the hand stack is completely wrong. rule 101!
  5. i don't know much about Omega - doh! it was the bezel that looked off - if you see from the pics below, the bezels are completely different to yours (the minute markers, the numbers). and this:
  6. Fake.. Why do you think its fake ? the strap doesn't look right. nor does the bezel ( the minute markers specifically ). am i wrong?
  7. the bezel looks wrong, and the strap is far to knackered for it to be real
  8. the colt was my first watch and still have after 7 years. However, its not automatic, it's battery powered. lovely watch. sturdy as anything! edit: mine is the non automatic version. my writing is a little confusing!
  9. the omega logo looks stuck on too, plus the logo is wrong.
  10. Surely not?!! :scare: ;) This was all I was saying, the good quality fakes are good quality enough to fool anyone until they are actually touching it. was i right? rolex is fake, the omega is fake, and the longines is ?????
  11. the rolex is fake, the hand stack is incorrect. will have a cheap Chinese movement. however it is a pretty ok fake.. not a fan personally of omega/longines and therefore don't know much about them. edit: but I would say the omega is fake, and the longines real (complete guess on that)
  12. the only problem I had is that I signed up with BT fibre on the basis of getting the original bt sport deal. then changing the 'deal' mid-contract without reducing the bill pi**ed me off. simples
  13. but is that a 'genuine fake' as that is very easy to spot as fake See the photos. The video posted via Vimeo. Don't ask me why ahh yep, again to a fan of watches you can tell straight off that is a fake (granted you have to be able to see the face. the subdial spacing is all wrong, the 9 and 3 o clock markers are wrong, the date window in white is wrong.... and more You are a fan of watches but it isn't a bad fake for £10 from Thailand if it tells the time then you're right. it'll do Do you have any genuine nice watches?
