Fake Rolex stopped
S K
I shake it, the second hand starts to move but stops as soon as I stop
shaking.
Is there any way to get the watch going again?

large hammer?
Olaf Peuss
Street roller? Sledge hammer?
AFAIK the only way to repair fake watches.
If you can't afford a genuine Rolex, get yourself a look-alike, which
can be found by the thousands on the Internet.
Kind regards,
Olaf

I mostly lurk here and read/learn about horology, and thought at first
that you were just being provocative by posting something like this in
an horology group. Then I did a Google search and see that you
recently got into a pissing match with some poor store owner over $1.99
on some mis-labeled shoes. You really need to not be such a tight-ass,
then bug other people with your problems.

Surely people who buy *real* Rolexes are also desperate to look like having
money?

I thought that was the main selling point of a Rolex? I mean, given
that you can get watches that contain the same movements, in quality
cases, with sapphire crystals, even designs that look just like a
Rolex, for just a few hundred dollars.
Is there some aspect of Rolex-ness I'm missing?

You can't get the same movements in any other watches.

Be seeing you.

FUck alright it's time for the monthly Rolex warthread. Has it
been 30 days already ? My how time flies.
If you mean "how can I make it work" you probbaly cant. Any
competant watchmaker can and it could cost you as little as nothing
or as much as $200 to fix or replace the movement if it's a cheap
nasty knockoff.
If it's one of the more expensive "replica" watches as opposed
to the cheap "fakes" then it can certainly be fixed easily
as theyuse stock and very good off the shelf movements, irognially
better than the movements Rolex puts in them. Go figure.
As you've no doubt noticed some poeple here are rather judgemental
about fake watches. I could care less. A watch is a watch; some
of the replicas are very good and a ride in a replica Shelby
cobra at 150 mphs is as good as a ride in a real one, better
actually as the brakes actually work. The difference in
both cases is the price and loss of snob appeal.

I wouldn't say desparate but sure they go into a store
looking to buy the most expensive thing than can afford
(and there' always somthing they can't).
I was at the Amelia Island Concoure d'Elegance this
weekend and saw lots of this, and it was wort of amusing.
In a group of primarily rich old guys (we're talking
about the exhibitors here) watches ranged from
a 70's LCD thing to Patek grand complications,
but I don't think any watch screams "I have more
money than taste" than a gold Daytons with a diamond
studded black dial. Holy shit is that ugly and I *like*
black dials and I like the new Daytons (despite it's
faults). I don't know why but this thing gave off
a telepathic vibe that said the guy just walked into
a store and aksed for the most expensive Rolex they had.
Richard Sexton
Yes. The fact that's it's a genuine Rolex (tm). This
makes it worth a lot of money, because of the demand,
not any intrinsic value. In other words it makes it
a more expensive watch, but it doesn't make it a better
watch.

Actually it's been 32 days, but your Rolex didn't know there were only 29
days in February.

quite nicely forever probably, and you won't worry about having your hand
cut off as you walk down 52nd street.

Only if the bezel is covered with diamonds. Lots of rappers have these
things and they ain't desperate to look as if they have money; e.g.. Puff
Daddy.

Rolex OR Seiko).
Richard Sexton
It's all mass produced. Even Patek has an assembly line very
similar to the one Rolex has. If you thin watches are made
by little old guys leaning over benches you're way wrong.

Excuse me but Seiko is definitely NO sh... and can't be compared to fake
Rolex watches.
You may not like Seiko's design but their quality is beyond all doubt.
I'd rather wear a real Seiko than a fake Rolex, no two ways about that.
Stan Stocker
Yea, but Seiko is Seiko, fake is fake. I'll take a real Seiko over a
fake big name any day. Given the number of Rolex/Omega/IWC/Whoever
watches made every year, does that mean all of these are also
mass-produced shit?
Cheers,
Stan
Brian Talley
Tell me (real) Rolex aren't mass-produced, at least to some
degree.

So if rappers aren't desperate to look like they have money, what are the
huge gold necklaces for? Medicinal purposes? In gangsta culture, money is
everything, and it doesn't matter if you got it from selling guns to minors
or beating up prostitutes, so long as you've got that Rolex on your arm,
you're a hell of a guy.
JR
I have ever noted to having one is that when it breaks I at last am less
inclined to have it fixed and more inclined to buy a newer, cooler looking
one.
I guess I'm a trashy watch person cause I'm just about as happy with my
Chase Durer or my Vostok as I am with my Rolex which is not fake. Could
have 4 of the former and 20 of the later for the Rolex price, but hey that's
just me.

it will also be against the professional bodies code of practice). You may
find that is has a quartz movement and just needs a new cell to replace the
flat one...
