Ignorance

[G.MAC]

After a crab cracking session, i think the rolex would be scratched up but not dinged. The damasko is resistant to scratches but i am not too sure whether it would ding resistant as well.

[watchmanu]

if anyone dare to say my rolex is fake, i'd invite them to a crab cracking contest with my DSSD. See whose steel ding first.

Lol... crab cracking contest?
I will wear a Damasko and comment that your Rolex is fake just for kicks... 
Anyway, I used to not like Rolex for this reason alone... being called a fake most of the time.
Then I met Ck... 
Bottom line is, say whatever you want, I'm the one with the Rolex and not you... 

+100  nice one, bro hanz.

Well..wore my PAM360 the other day for a dinner with my schoolmates and one of them saw it and said loudly..."eh, our dispatch boys all use watches like you...one of them selling it for a few hundred I think"...I can just managed a smile and "oh really? they have good taste then"...

[johnjoux]

Nowadays youngster all wear PAM and Rolex d le... maybe from petaling st...

I sold a panograph to a buyer and he asked me " Is this your father's watch " ?

[dpkong]

of course people think it's a fake. all Loleks have cyclops. so yours must be fake mah...

  

Time to revive this thread from an ignorant comment I got this morning.
During breakfast, met one of my old schoolmate that I haven't met for ages. (can say he is a loaded fellow)
Said hi and he joined my table... no problem.
We chatted abit and I commented on his Omega Planet Ocean Orange Bezel 42mm...
Nice, can I try it on? Sure he said.
Then when I took off mine and he molested my watch, he was asking me why wear on fabric strap?
Nicer I said... abit variety is good.
Then he said "Ohhh... this watch must be fake, coz the easiest way to tell a fake is from the bracelet quality, that's why you wear it on a fabric strap... harder to see if it's fake..."
I just say "Yaloh... like that oso you know... haih... can't fool your expert eyes"
Although he paid for my breakfast... I feel like vomiting it back out...
One of the worst free breakfast I've had.

And by the way, I was wearing this.

Case No 1

In a watch repair shop waiting for my watch while the bracelet is adjusted. Saw a guy with rolek Yacht Master II watch want his watched to be serviced.

Me: Wow, really nice platinum bezel eh.

The guy: No, it is titanium bezel.

Me: Oh really, I read from rolek catalog that it is in platinum bezel.

The guy: Nonononononon, IT IS in titanium...

Me: Okay then, as you said....  (laughing in my heart for his ignorance)

Case No 2

I had nothing to do so go cari gaduh in watch shop

As posted in the "Seiko and mass public" thread

Me: Oh do you know this movement is actually based on Seiko auto chrono movement?

Salesperson: SEIKO!!!!!!!!!!!! NO NO NO, THIS is based on TH in house movement. Same goes to caliber 15/16/5, they are all made in house too. ( the fact that the "caliber 15/16/5 is based on ETA movement lol  ) And this also made by TH in house too dont you (pointing at zenith EP powered monaco) Seiko does not do this kind of thing!!!!

Me: How much is this (1887) cost?

Salesperson:  Rm18000 including GST.

Me:   and walk away laughing at them cause they get their fact wrong.

more to come but had to let me dig it out from my memory

Well if you keep referring it to "rolek" instead of ROLEX.......he thought you were mentioning about another brand.

I have yet to see an 88 with an open 6...if I'm not mistaken, historic collections would have open "6" while contemporary collections would a closed "6"..even the fonts are different slightly

[shahpijul]

PAM 88 with open 6 ? 

well, need to search the answer for this by visiting the watch boutique instead.

Once a friend was checking my Rolex and said that it is a fake one because there is no engravings on its back.....

when to a pasar malam with a friend looking for a cheap water resistant watch for a snorkeling trip (intended to used 1 time only) at KK, Sabah

my friend     : "ini jam boleh masuk air kah" (what my friend mean was water resistant)

watch seller : "pasti boleh, bah"

so, my friend bought that watch and when for snorkel with it. Less that 30 minutes, water has already filled the whole watch. in anger he took the watch back to the seller

my friend     :  "kawan, itu hari awak cakap ini jam boleh masuk air"
watch seller :  "betul bah, ini jam memang air boleh masuk" (what he mean was, water can get inside)
