LOL nailed it.

fake humility all the way. These people dont understand they got where they are due to pure luck more than anything. But they always keep convincing themselves -publicly- they got there because of some kind of superhuman "work" others didnt do. Most of the time you dont even hear about the less shiny stuff they had to do to get there either.There are are billions of people busting their asses a lot more than them but simply happened to be born less lucky and in return get nothing for their "work".

If by luck you mean born with a decent brain and drive and in a Western country, then yes, you're right.

I've bought/sold many watches on watch forums and buyers always pay first for a watch. In my many years of doing this not one person has ever stiffed me! I've probably flipped six figures in watches.

Actually love the Deepsea but the bracelet is too thin for the watch.

SA is a nice piece.

i am a serial watch flipper as well,ive prob sold around 50-60 watches on different forums,ebay,craigslist etc.Its extremely fun for me.

This is a great way to check out whats on the market on all forums (also helps in pricing watches). Be careful because it's addicting ha!

Nice watches. But would any of you horophiles hide your favorite timepiece in your ass to keep the slopes from putting it in their greasy, yella' hands? Would you?

Mr. Singh, I suspected that you were one to appreciate grand cru horlogerie.

half your watches are fake anyway, you just are unable to tell

I never knew this type of activity existed, until a buddy of mine showed me. He'd buy a rolex for 4k or something, wear it for a month or so, then sell it for 4.5k......crazy.

He said it was free money.

gotta love how people always think things are fake that they cant afford or justify buying themselves.I hear it all the time,"that must be fake"cause its cost thousands,ok so your bmw must be fake cause it costs 60k?

not even the experts can tell if a watch is real or not, not even after they opened it up and examined it...

In 2007, Mayer purchased his first of seven Rolex watches from Maron, a broker and expert on "important" watches primarily by Rolex and Patek Philippe, according to the lawsuit.

In 2010, Mayer sent one of the Rolexes to Rolex for servicing. The Swiss company informed Mayer that the watch he had sent them "was not authentic in all respects" -- some of the parts in the watch were not Rolex parts. When Mayer confronted Maron about the watch, Maron apologized and gave him a refund.

Mayer went on to buy more watches from Maron to the tune of about $5,000,000. But after finding out that seven of the watches were allegedly counterfeit, Mayer filed his lawsuit.

so the guy obviously didnt do his homework,Ive seen great quality reps that can pass most people by but most in the know wont be fooled.The japanese make great reps looks wise but the movements suck until serviced them can be decent but look nothing like rolex movement,there is a popular asian 2836 movement that is put in alot of reps and anyone that knows movements can spot them immediately.Also the sweeping movement in reps isnt right,the laser etching on the saphire crystals isnt right,the rehaut engraving is usually weong as well.most rep rolexes with dates the the date aparture will be crooked and the date wont switch at midnight,seeial numbers are incorrect for the models.colors are usually a shade off,crown wont be smooth,if stainless steel the use 316 not 904.lots of simple differences.if you know what to look for.

I have heard of supposed collectors getting ripped off so it does happen but i think its cause they are to trusting.i wouldnt be fooled.There are so many tells,as far as rolex goes which is the lost counterfitted watch,others might fool me as i dont have much experience with patek,jlc,etc.
