    The person to mention anyone being an expert was you.



    No one else made that claim.

    This thread has helped many people (yourself included) to not get ripped off, If you are only here to mock people's knowledge then I feel sad for you. No one has claimed to be an "expert" but please keep throwing out silly insults, It shows everyone the kind of dishonest poster that you are.

    =Yeah but posting that a rolex is fake when its 130 euro is laughable. The forum is good and its interesting to see the expensive watches been caught out. You dont need a degree in horology to know that a solid gold rolex doesnt go for 50 quid for example!
    Im sorry if i hurt your feelings :pac::pac::pac:

    Fully agree, we all love laughing at €130 awful "homages" and enjoy seeing posts calling them out. It's our equivalent of the skangermobile thread on Motors.

    The best thing about this forum is the lack of snobbery and judgement. We all have a common interest and a nice €50 Casio gets the same appreciation as a Patek/AP. Leave your nonsense comments at the door if you want to participate. :pac:

    Cheap obvious fakes are usually posted here to draw attention to them for the many moderators that operator on here from adverts.

    People are pointing out the obvious fakes to get them removed is all.

    I don’t see anyone “arriving breathless” to the thread announcing they have discovered a fake that no one else could see. The post just before your was more highlighting how bad a fake it was and how expensive it was for a fake.

    My feelings ain’t hurt but I am enjoying watching you chasing your tail. Your posting history on the forum is littered with asking questions but you continue to **** on it.

    This is hilarious.....

    Look TheW1zard...the adverts mods watch this thread to get rid of fakes, people post all the time low cost fakes just to get them gone off adverts. Done deal does not unfortunately have such a strict rule about copyright infringements, so if anyone googles the link they might come across this and save themselves. For as many dumb sellers selling obvious fakes there are as many naive buyers, of buyers that will buy it for 130 and next thing its up for 4k on adverts.

    I know you point was "pifft...sure anyone in their right mind would know that fake, thanks sooooo much for posting horology experts" but you can see that thats a childish thing to say, and you got called out bad. Stop digging.

    Exactly, the bad fakes are the best bit! Most people wouldn't spot a good fake from an adverts photo if it was selling at the price of a gen. The low price is the giveaway for a fake.

    I come here to laugh at the shítters. The worse, the better.

    Yeah, I always came here to point and laugh.

    Used to get peeved at posters that didn't take a screenshot before the advert was zapped.

    Dunno about this one, from the Gangland Shooting thread:

    Did ya ever think it might be a bit of both?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,739 ✭✭✭893bet


    If I see a very obvious fake later I might post a link.


    And not post images.


    Just to annoy a few people when they click the dead link later.

    Bad boy.
