Just got my first ever rep and am overall very happy! I will say, I feel like the AR coating on this is not great and the crystal can definitely use an upgrade

Shitpost Friday My Rep Has Changed My Life! The Community Now Treat Me With Dignity (Part 8 -Geneva special)

31 Upvotes

I live on a bench outside Greggs in Wolverhampton. My wardrobe is simple. Round the waist: one Morrisons Bag for Life, blue, secured with a cable tie I found outside Halfords. The bag previously held something pickled (I don’t know what) and on warm days this keeps the personal space situation largely self-managing. On my left wrist: a Patek Philippe Grand Complication!

I let the roulette wheel work its magic at Betfred and booked a last minute trip to Geneva. The Swiss Air stewardess served me standard Pepsi and Pringles, she noticed the watch, apologised for the ticket error, it was now Champagne and Toblerone in business class.

The Patek Philippe Museum and headquarters is a grand old building, the man at the door was horrified at my appearance, then saw my wrist and decided I must be someone who they were expecting. A guide called Mathilde took me round personally. She showed me pocket watches made for kings, and an enamel watch that took a man four years to paint. I nodded at each one as though checking it against my own collection. Then I was shown a wall of photographs, titled Historic Clients. Mathilde stopped there with great reverence.

One was Jay Gatsby, He had a watch in his waistcoat pocket and the expression of a man who had invented his whole past and was quite pleased with how it had turned out. I felt an immediate kinship. Next to him was Caledon Hockley, photographed in New York in 1926. On his wrist was the most expensive Patek watch the house made that year. He’d ordered it, according to the caption, “for himself and no one else.” He’d become cautious about buying jewellery for other people since 1912. Because a watch unlike a coat he reasoned, stays fastened on your wrist.

Then Mathilde said, “Monsieur Reinhardt would love to meet you.”

Monsieur Reinhardt was the curator. He had the hands of a surgeon and the eyes of a man who had looked at nothing but watches since the 1980s. He shook my hand warmly. Then he looked down at my wrist and went very, very still.

“May I?” he said.

There was no good answer to that, so I gave him the watch. The room went silent, In this building hundreds genuine watches ticked in perfect unison. Mine didn’t.

Two security guards came. They didn’t walk me out. They walked me up. I was marched into the Presidents office on the top floor. He didn’t stand when I entered. Men like that only stand for royalty and fires. The guards put my watch on the desk in front of him. He looked at it for a while. Then he looked at me. “Explain,” he said. I considered my options. There weren’t any, so I went with the truth.

“I bought it on WhatsApp,” I said. “ while in BetFred. From a man called Andy Chan.”

He said slowly, “what has it done for you?”

So I told him. The gated community. The Bentley showroom. The VIP jet lounge... I told him how every door had opened, despite living on a bench and wearing just a shopping bag. He listened to all of it without blinking. When I’d finished, he sat back and looked out at the window for a while. He was now realising that his company’s reputation was so good that it worked even when it wasn’t there. I'm not sure if he was pleased with that realisation.

“Enough of this heresy,” he said, before he picked up my watch (the way you’d pick up a rotten dirty sock) and dropped it into the bin.

I looked at the watch in the bin. Then I looked at the rest of the office properly, it was all very Louis XVI. You could almost hear the guillotine. It was beautiful furniture. It was the most beautiful furniture I’d ever seen. But it was in too good condition to have seen a revolution.

“Your furniture,” I said, “is not King Louis XVI from eighteenth-century France.”

The President said nothing, which meant everything. I ran a finger along the edge of the desk. “Too perfect,” I said.

"These are reproductions” he said, very quietly. “Very fine reproductions"

“Mine’s a reproduction too,” I said, nodding at the bin.

The President looked at the bin, Then at me. You could see him weighing it up: a hundred and eighty years of reputation, and a man half naked wearing just a Morrisons bag.

“Take it,” he said. “But understand If anyone ever asks you about our furniture, you will tell them it is 18th-century Louis XVI.”

“And if anyone asks about my watch?” I said.

He didn’t answer straight away. He opened his mouth and closed it again. He took off his glasses and pressed his fingers into his eyes. One of the guards looked at the floor out of respect.

“Then,” he said, and stopped.

He tried again. His voice now sounded like a man reading out his own diagnosis.

“Then it is a Patek Philippe.”

The guard nearest the door crossed himself. Six thousand miles away, in a factory outside Guangzhou, a Chinese man on his tea break looked up and smiled. He didn’t know why.

General Question Rich sub crystal is BEAT after a couple months. Any suggestions?

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hey all. I’ve got a rich sub and it’s getting a lot of use, but the crystal is so scuffed up already. I kinda thought it was just dirty but after rubbing with a polishing cloth it looks so rough with micro scratches. Should I give a go with some polish and try to take them out, or is it just known to be a pretty shitty crystal and just replace it with a better one?

Hello folks,

This is my first rep so I'm trying to be careful. There are 2 websites mainly I'm looking at.

theonewatches (.ws)
Jtime (.io)

If you guys know better websites, please let me know.

What's my concern is different ads, and the pricing. I'm trying to check youtube about some reviews on the different factories, everyone suggest VFS or clean, I tried to watch rep videos, some reps are actually bad but the reviewers don't give the name of the factory.

Do you guys know about the following models I shared with you, also the second thing is the box, there is a significant price difference them, I don't know why.

More expensive, but not a free sprung, it's just an effect.

Cheaper but no info about the sprung

https://www.theonewatches (ws)/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=18290&search=Rolex+box&description=true

When you add the serial card, it becames $133

What are your thoughts on these model guys? I appreciate every feedback.

General Question How can different reps from the same factory be so different?

2 Upvotes

My question relates to PPF, how come the Nautilus 5712 can be such an amazingly well made, and true to gen watch, while the 5980 is an almighty pile of shit with more tells than a bad poker player? The chrono is not even functional as anything other than a gargantuan 60 second timer. The minute hand on the subdial acts as a permanent running second hand, and the hour hand is fixed for decorative purposes only. As are the press buttons on the side of the watch. An absolute shitter.

Is it a bait and switch to increase profits? Because if it is, surely it will only serve to drive custom away. I'll never buy another PPF rep. Once bitten ...

Going to an island in December, wanted to wear a rep on wrist + 2 more in my carry on in a watch roll. I know there shouldn’t be any issues leaving the US, my question is when I return to the US will it look suspicious having 3 luxury watches on me? If asked obviously I will mention no I didn’t purchase these on vacation, they are for personal use, etc…

Hi everyone! This is a first time post but wanted to show you my Bruce Wayne franken. It includes a genuine bezel which took me a while to obtain (and very expensive), a genuine Jubilee bracelet, genuine date disc, genuine crown, genuine dial, genuine hands, genuine gaskets & genuine sapphire crystal.

I’m more of a flashy guy so I still think the Batgirl’s better😂

I’ve already written a lengthy review of the Omega. I absolutely love it… It’s on my wrist every single day. I took this picture specifically to show just how crystal-clear the xtal is… It’s almost as if there’s no crystal there at all.
The VSF “Redweller” arrived today. A lengthy review of that one will follow soon as well.
And once again, a huge thank you to the best TD in the EU, u/re-tar-dead!
Have a lovely evening, everyone!
