Buying a fake Rolex is a very special experience. You can feel yourself losing brain cells, everyone hates you, and your watch doesn't work. It's great.
Today the boys discuss that time Michael accidentally bought a fake Rolex and Christian wore a fake Day-Date to a high school entrance exam (I've never heard of a high school entrance exam). The boys also talk about why Christian rests his watch on the crown, taking photos of a Rolex Datejust upside down, a $400,000 green Patek Philipe Nautilus, Timex's new California dial, a Cartier for clams, Junghans, and much much MORE.
Are you interested in Rolex? Omega? Grand Seiko? Tudor? You've come to the right spot!

So funny, my dad gave me a Fake Rolex in 2010 when I was in my final year of High school and I wore it everyday to school for three months before the bracelet broke and the timekeeping couldn't follow up the real time. Nobody noticed it and I had zero comments about it. However, that's how my horological journey started and today I still have that destroyed fake Rolex in a drawer, as a souvenir.

My opinion on fakes is clear: if you can get 99% of the real thing for 10% of it then the original isn't worth its asking price. I don't see functional Sky-Dwellers anywhere on the fake market, nor any of my beloved Zenith 1/100 chronos. You don't see fake Ferraris that are a 99% rendering of its original counterparts and people worried about them being passed on as originals.

I got a seiko presage "Mojito" and a Tissot V8 automatic chronograph. Willing to learn and if I mess up on the fake, at least it'll be a fake and won't be of any loss🤷‍♂️ I'll pay for shipping 👌

I bought a bunch of Grand Seiko watches years ago. I sold them, and man do I regret it. They were mostly quartz, but they looked amazing. Furthermore, with all the noise regarding the 44G case, the 62GS is just plain superior. Although my biggest regret was an almost perfect Tudor sub. I thought I was robbing the guy I sold it to, then I saw the same watch on Hodinkee years later for eight grand.

The whole thing around buying a product (any product, not just watches) and people looking down on you when you choose to sell it, is an absolutely rediculous concept to me. You buy it, you can do whatever the hell you like with it, it's yours to wear, return, sell, give away, set fire to...whatever. I think people are more put out by the insane mark-up and profit this guy made.

Also, watch makers tune the watch with the crown like that because it’s the position your watch is in most of the time (if you’re right handed). Arm to your side, crown facing the ground, which is the same as putting the watch on the crown on the table. My watch maker said when you sleep leave it on the table with the crown down. It’s how it runs most optimal. (Or so I’ve heard)

You can see tho how it is inspired by the black forest. The Black Red and White (or silver) are typical colors for their traditional clothing. Also the fabric of the strap with this button is very typical. Idk the black forest ist not really a region that is appealing for young buyers who I think Junghans markets their watches to. It's just not an appealing watch.
