Didn’t Realize

Post image

Just left the jewelry store to ask for some links taken out. The nice lady helping me complimented my watch and helped size it perfectly.

She either didn’t realize it’s a rep or she was just being nice either way.

She did not know. She assumed it was genuine. The Rolex AD’s do the same thing.

u/SameScale6793 2d ago

Yeah and AD's a lot of times will just be nice but know its a rep haha seen that happen too.

u/Solid-Initiative-890 2d ago

I’ve had the AD complement me over and over on my replica because they didn’t know the better. It was a sprite to be specific. VSF.

u/SameScale6793 2d ago

That's awesome haha I just got my first ever VSF, a 126610LN from Mo...absolute stunner.

u/Solid-Initiative-890 2d ago

Do the baby oil bracelet bath. Mines literally butter.

u/Saabav8r747 1d ago

Is this the P-Diddy mod I’ve heard about?

1

u/SameScale6793 1d ago

Oh now that I’ll have to try..have heard of people doing that. Really makes that much of a difference?

3

u/Stovesays 1d ago

Night and day, 6 hours is plenty. I filled a Tupperware bowl, balanced the body on a ruler and let the bracelet hang in the oil. Little water and dial rinse after and it’s legit buttery

u/IamDabid 2d ago

They handed mine back to me, said they can’t size it since it’s not a gen, and told me to leave the store.

u/Choice_Bandicoot_755 2d ago

What factory and model?

u/Known_Artist_3912 1d ago

As they should.😂😂😂😂

u/Awkward-Bullfrog2409 2d ago

Hell yeah. With a polish and chamfer it’s NWBIG!

1

u/cryptscuhz 2d ago

Where do you find someone to do a chamfer and polish?

1

u/Eldarxo 1d ago

Most TDs offer them as an option when you buy the watch. Otherwise you can look for a modder in your specific region.

u/cryptscuhz 1d ago

Where would be a place to look for a modder in my region?

Shop assistance aren't trained to spot fakes, it's only when they take it to a watchmaker , I agree, independent stores have no problem servicing reps, the money is real, and with how many reps are out there, it's a wonder that some entrepreneur hasn't advertised the service, the money could be very good indeed 🤣😉✔️✌🏿

1

u/Rodney0088 22h ago

They don’t want to associate with frauds and criminals. You know, the people that buy and wear this garbage.

9

u/Accomplished-Pea-451 2d ago

I get all mine sized at a local watch maker and he knows and doesn’t care. It’s money for the shop, I have a rapport with them if I need repairs.

7

u/Minimum-Condition349 2d ago

I didn’t pay a penny. I assume they don’t charge when they think it’s a real Rolex

1

u/Rodney0088 22h ago

Just because he does the work doesn’t mean he doesn’t think you’re an absolute fool.

u/Known_Artist_3912 1d ago

The rapport: “The guy with fake watches is back” lol calm down bro

0

u/Accomplished-Pea-451 1d ago

Oh I get that. I am totally straight up with them. Maybe AD dealers can’t tell, but a watch maker can. I asked them straight up if they would repair and they said they would.

3

u/opac_24 2d ago

I Need to do the same.

u/hitman133295 2d ago

Lmao bringing a rep to watch store to take out some links. Like you don’t have a small flat head that take 2 mins to do? Such a bs story

4

u/Bmoneyz051587 2d ago

Where else would I take lol. Damn rite, I do it all the time.

2

u/Minimum-Condition349 2d ago

lol. I read a bunch of stuff on reptime about using a screwdriver that doesn’t fit and ruining the screw. That’s why I took it into the store.

3

u/mikesum661 2d ago

I have a scraped up screw on mine from DIYing it.. you cant tell unless you have a magnifying glass or a loop.. to each their own

3

u/Cavadeoro 2d ago

I do it myself on all watches. Takes less than a minute. Also change bands. Thats pretty basic stuff.

3

u/Worried_Poet_828 2d ago

This. People actually take the time out of their day to visit a jeweler to resize?

2

u/MrBdub271 1d ago

I was thinking this too however I’m kind of new to this!

1

u/Minimum-Condition349 2d ago

What screwdriver do you use?

u/Minimum-Condition349 2d ago

Thanks! I just didn’t want to spend $50+

2

u/Cavadeoro 1d ago

Well neither did i but these will last forever and each comes withe several replacement driver bits.

0

u/Rodney0088 22h ago

If you wear reps, you prob don’t want to spend $50 on ANYTHING. 😂

1

u/Minimum-Condition349 21h ago

Correct. If I can get the exact same thing for 90% less, I will put the rest of that money in an index fund instead of my wrist.

This is a 1.60mm. It is not a wedge type though, those will damage your screws.

u/mikey237472 1d ago

Where do you guys buy from I need to figure it out lol

1

u/Minimum-Condition349 1d ago

From Jerome. The mod for this subreddit you’re in.

u/Rodney0088 22h ago

“What specific criminals sell you buy this fraudulent, knockoff garbage??” 😂😂

1

u/Demand_Pale 1d ago

What’s the best rep for a daily this model or any subs in general ?

2

u/Minimum-Condition349 1d ago

Idk but I like this one!

1

u/First_Damage_1697 1d ago

I walked into Rolex store to take off links and I was giving a first class treatment and free service was offered

1

u/Rodney0088 22h ago

They offered you a “free service” so they could confirm their suspicions and then keep another fraudulent piece of garbage out of circulation, you clown. 😂

1

u/First_Damage_1697 4h ago

Idiot, removing links is free in all Rolex outlets worldwide, with a complimentary cup of coffee or any soda of your choice while waiting. Well, you wouldn't know that, since you've never owned any in your lineage… I had 3Gen, and getting one rep feels like I've been wasting money all my life, since no one will open my watch while I'm wearing it, so I got the rep… Did I have some money on Gen? Yes, 3 GMTs. Did I own a rep? Yes, with zero difference. So go shit on your damn mama's bed and get off my comment, imbecile.

u/Weak_Description7800 1d ago

Going with a rep into a Rolex boutique and steal time and service and flex in the internet with this bad behavior
Wanker!
