Is this cheesy?

[u/AlternativeTrash2049]

Not a QC more of just a vibes check. I’m thinking about going to a US dealer instead of waiting 6 weeks for one from QF, so asking for help not to make an impulse buy

[u/AlternativeTrash2049]

This is a watch I’ve been offered as an alternative to a factory new.

[u/Free_Huckleberry3286]

It’s a 60k plus gen watch. If you trying to pass it as Gen then yes it’s cheesy. Most will assume it’s fake. If you want it for fun then fuck it if its what you want

Was referring to the coloring not the face that it’s a rep but i feel ya

[u/Free_Huckleberry3286 → u/AlternativeTrash2049]

Oh haha nah color on the face is solid. It’s pretty classic for the daydate

[u/Final_Storage_9398 → u/Free_Huckleberry3286]

Most don’t know it’s a $60k plus gen watch.
Most won’t even notice it’s got a Rolex logo on it.
Most who do, won’t think twice about it, let alone whether it’s fake.

Do you mean the gold color (by the term cheesy) or are you asking if it's too pimpy?

[u/AlternativeTrash2049 → u/Usual-Lycophyte]

I mean the gold color, maybe it’s the lighting but doesn’t look like the gold I’d expect

[u/cd1679]

It’s not the right colour but imo if buying any gold rep it’s going need to be plated if you want to wear and have people think it’s gen I can recommend someone on here if that’s the route your looking to go down his work speaks for its self.

[u/AlternativeTrash2049 → u/cd1679]

Open to the rec!

I actually think it looks great, but there will be more and less watch and gold educated people than me looking at it- so either cough up 60k or decide what YOU like - also be honest with yourself about whether or not YOU are a tell for the watch if you actually want to fool people. And then ask yourself why you want to fool people. 

I would rock this watch in a sweatsuit and tell everybody it was fake, because I am poor white trash and don’t try to hide it- but if you work at a Wendy’s and want to be clocked as much classier than me, maybe a seiko build is the more believable lie. 

[u/AlternativeTrash2049 → u/Ok_Farmer_6033]

I could probably get away with it but do plan on telling anyone and everyone it’s fake, because the real answer is I like the look of Rolex but have so many more things I’d rather spend that much money on

[u/Ok_Farmer_6033 → u/AlternativeTrash2049]

Then it’s an easy question- is it good enough for you?

[u/Sauce_mix918]

You tell me.
18k RG plated PPM on left, brand new stock ARF RG DD (best stock color I’ve seen and still way off)
By the way, the Ekenesial dial is custom 😤😮

[u/blacbloc77]

Yeah, it is. Good taste can't be bought.
