16610 spotted in the wild....only to be ridiculed
Was at my local Starbucks today getting an iced coffee when I noticed the guy in front of me wearing a classic 16610. I complimented him and then they guy insulted me by stating that my LV-C was a "cartoonish" fake.
Without hesitation, I corrected him that mine was the new updated ceramic model in green. He then continued to state that mine was a "nice blingy fake" and to go buy a real one like his. I just shook my head and walked away before I hit that a**hat in the face. What a prick! |

Forums are full of us watch guys striking up a convo with a non watch guy it always turns out ugly. I for one don't do it anymore. Sorry you had such a bad experience!

That's actually quite funny, it shows you how some people feel the need to show they know things, whether they really do or not!

I did not pursue anything because it was obvious that this Rolex owner was all about "status" and not appreciative like us WIS's here on the forum.

truth is half the 16610s , datejusts etc we spot in the 'wild' are fakes anyways
unless you actually handle the watch its pretty hard to determine if the guy has a fake or authentic. i simply dont comment on anyones watches. a WIS is so far and few between that its simply a waste of time.

That's not only horrible - its deplorable! I compliment if I see a nice watch but I won't respond negatively if they do just because it makes them think it is ok.

Just goes to show that Rolex ownership penetrates all stratas of society!
Don't sweat it. He's just demonstrating his own ignorance and lack of character. Well played for letting it go. |

You should have told him that maybe some day he'll be able afford your higher priced updated version.

As the saying goes, "you can't fix stupid". Don't sweat it and enjoy your watch.
