At the bar at the club on Saturday, taking a break from setting up the boat (hey, any excuse for a beer!

).

An older member sitting next to me was wearing a TT DJ. A couple of sideways peeks at it confirmed the tick-tick-tick of the second hand. A cheap quartz fake. Oh well, not my place to comment on it, but I was a bit disappointed in the wearer.

Yes, that's always my reaction - disappointment!

I must admit and say I once bought a replica, a very good one, the reason being is that I always wanted a rolex sub date and the thought of spending $7000 aus for one scared me. When I buy something I research the life out of it, I bought the replica as part of the research, how will it feel, the weight, the size. A replica made me want to buy a real one. Quite truthfully There is a difference but not much. I was also much more relaxed with the Replica on my wrist, I didn't have to worry about sratches etc.

I don't wear the replica any more, in fact I wear my Tag F1 as a day watch because I flipped the LV and I don't want to wear the 5513 as a daily watch.

I really really want a Dweller (if my wrist allows) or maybe a sub no date. (if my wrist is too thin)

Do you think others should buy one as a "test drive" or just as a reminder to save?

Hey Al, are you sure he wasn't wearing an TT OysterQuartz?

Actually, thats a good question. Weren't there some early models that were realitively indistinguisable from their DJ counterparts?

after owning my current DJ i actually thought that if i were to buy another watch it wouldn't be a real one, would rather buy a fake or something i can wear without fearing for scratches something i used to do for my cds. my heart always skips a beat whenever my hand bumps against something and i bump into stuff all the time.

Are you referring to the Tru-Beat?

I don't think that the Tru-Beat was offered as a Date-Just.

Nahh, it was a fake. Wasn't there a version of the DateJust back in the day that was housed in an OysterQuartz type case and integrated bracelet? That'd be the one for me, I love that case/bracelet setup.

One more page and this will be a ten-pager.

That doesn't rhyme with:
"ten - sive."

Does it?

It didn't last time I looked.

BTW, I don't know what your page set up is like, but I've only got 5 pages for this thread.

Apparently not. Now we have 168.

estatehomes · 9 May 2007, 11:14 PM

This is still page 9.

Where's the formatting numbers?

Can you change formats?

the service advisor that fixed my car was wearing the fakest rolex i have ever seen in my life! he made sure durring the transaction that he flashed it to me a couple of times cause i was wearing my LV SUB. He then asked me if the Green Bezel'ed sub was a cheaper version. I bit my tongue sooo hard because I was going to ask him how much that fake cost him.

i just stopped talking to him about it because any other word that was going to come out of his mouth...i would have said "hey bud...save up some money and buy a real rolex!"

I would be concerned they are using knock off parts in your car

You must have really had to bite your tongue hard. However, I definitely agree that you wouldn't want to make a point about yours being authentic right as you are turning the car in for a service estimate!!!

estatehomes · 11 May 2007, 12:16 AM

That number is the, "post number."

Is that also the format number?

Can you can the amount of posts displayed on a page?

Does your screen size dictate the number of displayed pages?

This content might be better in a new thread specifically addressing forum settings.

estatehomes · 11 May 2007, 01:33 AM

Who's gutsy enuff to start the new thread?

I hate to be a thread starter.

It may be addicting.

The last one is definitely no, I have two computers on 3 monitors and there hasn't been a change.
