These are the only pics that were sent to me. I'd post more if I had more, but it would be redundant being that they're clearly fake.

The first two pics are from two different Comex watches!
They are all fakes.

You are not supposed to post threads with knowingly fake Rolex watches. Even though it's "for laughs" the mods take it pretty serious.

In the past I would agree with you. I still do to some extent, and much prefer giving people the benefit of the doubt.

But occasionally someone comes on TRF, and their only posts are about whether watches look real or not, often several watches.

The harm is that their true motive is looking for expert feedback on how to improve their fakes, and we're giving it.

Damn that Sea Dweller/sub is bad. Crown guards are horrible.

If you think I'm the owner of these fakes you're clearly mistaken. As a proud rolex owner, I came to this site in hopes of educating myself on how to spot fakes, as I plan on adding more watches to my collection in the near future. I have never purchased a used watch before, so I never had to worry about buying a fake. These watches are the BEST in the world, but I am by no means an expert on spotting flaws. I could have easily trolled around this site without an account, but I chose to take the plunge and sign up. If you'd like me to show some of the watches in MY collection, I'd be more than happy to share them.

I know I'm a newbie here, but everybody's gotta start somewhere.

I was answering a question as to why similar postings like this may be harmful. That being said your posts did leave me a little suspicious, but I certainly did not directly accuse you of anything.

We get our fair share of trolling on TRF. These are typically done by newly created accounts (you can not troll/post without an account) who post a lot of fakes. Considering all of your posts to date have been in the Watch Out section and/or about fakes, you can't really blame me for being somewhat suspicious.

If you're one of the good guys then I sincerely welcome you to TRF. I would also encourage you to check out some of the other sections of TRF and post some of your own watches. I think you will discover TRF to be a great forum.

Best way to tell with ceramic subs is they always make the hands equally fat. The hour hand on a real piece is thinner than the minute hand. Only a GMTc has even hands.
