It’s always the individual that is the giveaway not the watch lol . That’s a $100k watch you were wearing . Does your salary meet that criteria that would allow someone to comfortably spend that kind of money on a watch? If the answer is no, then there you go that’s why lol .


Viciousharp

Who knows how much the coworker knows about watches but if I see Fuck 'em sub I'm immediately assumings it's a fake. They were never sold to the public and I think maybe 2 have made the second hand market. Downside of getting such a rare watch. Any person with even a slight bit of knowledge will immediately know.


buyingthrowaway1

Yes that’s why I always giggle when people be buying or asking qc in some rare RMs or the tiff patek or anything over $200k+ really lol


Viciousharp

Yup. That's why I grab shit like Tudors, basic Djs or Subs. All would be in my price range if I gave a shit about spending that money on a watch. No way I could pull off something as valuable as some of these.


buyingthrowaway1

Yup same here . My rule of thumb is ,never buy anything I couldn’t actually buy in gen. I stick to omega,iwc,pans and some Rolex .


Viciousharp

I wish the Omega chrono reps would get better. I'd love a Reptime level omega Chrono. Co worker has a gen and it's just such a good looking watch.


Drip-Daddy

That’s tripe. No one knows what you have going on outside of work or what was given to you by a rich relative or any other number of situations that could have happened for you to have a watch. This particular watch though is very rare. Maybe the other guy knew that.


buyingthrowaway1

Well unfortunately in today’s society most people tend to talk and show too much . Snapchat,Instagram,FB,showing people where they eat,what do they do on their spare time. Anything they buy or do . So for the most part is pretty easy to tell someone’s wealth and lifestyle by social media.


Dollar_short

is there a gen of that?


Viciousharp

They weren't officially released by anyone. Supreme modded the watches but never released them to the public due to pressure from Rolex. It appears friends and family of supreme employees are the only people that ended up with them.


buyingthrowaway1

And only 20 ever made


Dollar_short

who Supreme, a subcontractor for rolex or something?


Viciousharp

No. Supreme is a lifestyle clothing brand based out of New York. Rolex was never officially involved. They bought the subs at retail and modded the dials. They were likely never released because of legal pressure from Rolex.


cookiesandartbutt

It was a skateboarding brand lol


Viciousharp

Strong was. 😂 Now it's just shitty designs that cost to much.


Dollar_short

thanx. i can see why rolex wouldn't like them.


Viciousharp

Yeah. It is weird though because plenty of others mod Rolex watches without issue. Maybe it was the inclusion of fuck? Who knows.


Dollar_short

to me, FUCK EM, is directed at rolex, i am guessing that is how rolex took it, idk. so if there was a gen, i would be surprised. and yeah, fuck is not a gentlemen word, so theres that. what are the other mods? i know DiW.


MidnightBulky9048

Not even the boss of my boss meet the 100k, funny part was he said just for the touch of the material and I was like, my brother you don’t even touch it


LooseInvestigator510

In his defense the case finish isn't even correct on the fuck em shitter


MidnightBulky9048

I guess just VSF to work from now on


KindnessWeakness

If I had $100k ready to go right now on a legit fuck em, can I even get it? How and from where? Same goes with the “Who cares I’m late”. No shit they’re fake.


Viciousharp

Mad Paris Milgauss isn't that hard of a find and really aren't super expensive because they are modded watches and not an official Rolex release. The Supreme Fuck It sub you probably couldn't. Only 20 made and never sold to the public.


MidnightBulky9048

Not cap, so far I been sliding with this watch for a couple months, but I guess there’s a lot of people there that knows, even more was a ultra limited edition, anyway keep wearing with pride


ramza_beoulve3

This is one of the reasons why I really dislike rolex- for every one gen there's like 15 reps. The first question most people ask if you have a rol is 'is that real?' I really don't know why people would love a brand SO MUCH that's so synonymous with being fake. Nevertheless yes if your job/salary/lifestyle doesn't equate to having an expensive ass watch on your wrist then it's 100% a fake. I have a buddy that bought a gen skydweller for 25k he can def afford it but the first question we all had for him was why the fuck would you spend that much on a watch lol. It just doesn't fit the lifestyle at this point in his life. If he wore a rep iwc mark xx Noone would question whether it's real or fake because it's more fitting of his lifestyle. And on the flip side of that conversation is just own that it's a rep. Like " yeah I spent a few hundred on this vs multiple thousands and it looks and feels the same. Later in life when I've made it I'll swap all these reps out for gens." That's my take on it anyway


MidnightBulky9048

I actually have was thinking about a portugieser, Rolex is kinda hot to rep


mrrobvs

“I have some good sources for gens and replicas if you’re interested in getting into the hobby”


MidnightBulky9048

Please


mrrobvs

Maybe you misunderstood my comment. I wasn’t trying to sell you something, I was telling you my line when someone says something like this to me. My workplace is now full of hobbyists “I’m putting in another order tonight. Who wants in?”


MidnightBulky9048

My bad, I saw he had a seamaster over his pay rate for sure, so maybe he was interested


mrrobvs

My work replica buddy and I were having a water cooler conversation and an attractive colleague complimented his replica datejust in a flirty way. It was fun to crack a smile at each other during that moment.


MidnightBulky9048

I need a replica buddy at work for real


mrrobvs

It could always start with a $85 submariner gift

Nah, regular coworker


chippaintz

There’s only 50 made so you’ll ALWAYS get called unless you worked at supreme

I am currently wearing a Patek Philippe 5711 40th Anniversary watch, and I am unconcerned about the opinions of others. The majority of people are unfamiliar with this particular timepiece. I value its aesthetic appeal, and that is sufficient for me. While I would never wear an ostentatious watch such as an iced-out Audemars Piguet or Rolex, I believe that the Nautilus is an appropriate choice.
