Reply With Quote:shock: Blatant !! how to fek your whole reputation !
Now we all know that fake watches are widely available, but I was a little surprised to find a car dealer openly selling them in a decent car magazine. These scans are from the April '09 edition of "Classic Cars" and I've chopped the advert to hide the dealer's identity. I doubt I'll be buying a car from this particular establishment....."oh yes sir, all our cars are serviced using genuine manufacturers' parts" :roll:
:shock: Blatant !! how to fek your whole reputation !
Replicas of those vary in cost from ~$75 to ~$350. Better off buying off the net where you can get better pics and a spec.
better off not buying this shite at all ! :?

Agreed!

That Jalpa looks nice :)
Why not name and shame them?
They can't complain, after doing that so blatantly.
Judging by the watches for sale, it could have a Rover V8 in it :D
It was more not wanting to show where the watches are for sale rather than protecting the dealer.
Surely an email of the scan may find it's way to the people at Breitling?
Perhaps he misguidedly thinks that as it's OK to sell replica classic cars (as is routinely done in these mags) then it's ok with watches! :shock:
Surprised the magazine didn't pick it up either.
Yeah that can't be legal, not with the actual name on them.
Yes, I'm sure all the honest reputable fake watch sites send what they advertise...
Nice Citroen SM, but fitted with the wrong engine?
It's not.
I noticed that.
Some were fitted with a carb engine from the factory but if you were going to buy one of these you would want it as original as possible especially at that price.
Dodgy car dealer selling hooky watches :shock:
“Don’t look back, you’re not heading that way.”
The honest ones do, yes. I can attest to that. There are a large number of scammer replica sites, but these can be avoided with a bit of research and homework.Yes, I'm sure all the honest reputable fake watch sites send what they advertise...

All this fuss over a two year old advert?
Are you suffering from irony deficiency?Not at all.
I honestly think you get some sort of trollish kick by "bigging up" this counterfeit crap you constantly recommend especially when it must be obvious by now that nobody with any reputation on here wants anything to do with that rubbish.Not at all.
Cheers,
Neil.
Don't feed the troll.

It's my new mantra, Neil. Fortunately, there's only a couple on here and so it's easy to no longer feed them - as per Eddie's request. :wink:I think you are probably right Ralphy. :(

trolls are to genuine posters what these fakes are to genuine watches. best avoided entirely.
i do rather wish our host would ban him.
I think your opinion holds true in the case that the seller has a reason to suppose that the buyer isn't aware that it's a replica, otherwise I can't agree at all.?????????? ANYONE who knowingly sells a fake is DISHONEST.Not at all.
This is a facile comment. I don't start threads about replica watches. I don't think they're horologically very interesting frankly, so it's odd to see threads started about them in my view, quite honestly. I certainly feel entitled to chime in with a sincere opinion when others have done so though, so it's clear to me that you're employing the term "troll" in the time-honoured sense "someone whose opinion I dislike".
Despite the frequency of its use in that sense, that's not actually what it means.
Spot on
If you look closely that Aston is actually a badged up Austin Princess
Quite frankly I'd rather wear a Klaus Kobec to every TZ GTG, than wear a FAKE in my own home.
Every one of them is a POS.
If you want to keep discussing the merits (as you see it) of these rip offs, I suggest you look for a new forum.
Be fair, there are, apparently, people who actually like Breitlings. And they're not all used car salesmen. :mrgreen:

Selling fake watches is illegal simple as that - I have no time for them!
It's just a matter of time...
Genuine Breitlings are horrible blingy over fussy faced things, so why on earth anybody would want to buy/own a replica of such a poorly
designed watch is beyond me.
Basically the vast majority of Brietlings are very poor for clearly showing what the time is IMHO.
I certainly couldn't trust a car dealer selling hooky watches. Fakes are not legal and for me it's a bad sign of their integrity.
I think that some Breitlings are horrible blingy but by no means all. For instance the Headwind that Murph has on SC looks great. You could say the same applies to Rolex. Some of their gents offerings, in gold and with diamonds to my eyes are garish. But others such as the Submariner are understated class.
I assume that's not a particularly well informed opinion.
I completely understand the attitude towards replicas / fakes / whatever you want to call them and the dealers who sell them but the quality of some is excellent. I don't own any (apart from a TAG I bought in Tenerife for about a tenner in the early 90s and must still have in a drawer somewhere :D ) but I've seen and held a fair few and many now come with ETA movements, etc.
What I do absolutely detest is those individuals who knowingly pass these off as genuine watches to make a fast dishonest buck. This is quite different to the dealers of replicas / fakes who sell exactly what they advertise.

That seems fairly inexpensive, even for 21 months ago. They are rare here in the states and tend to go for a lot more than that.
Some are estate agents. :lol:Be fair, there are, apparently, people who actually like Breitlings. And they're not all used car salesmen. :mrgreen:
Also, on the subject of replicas, I too find it hard to understand that there is a similar set of people banging on about replicas on special forums for replica watches. Weirdos :lol:
Very silly way to make a few hundred pounds. Especially given the readership of Classic Car magazines find originality and 'word' count for a lot a lot like Vintage watches I suppose. Definitely don't think someone wanting a fake Bentley for Breitling from the Phillipines is really going to be looking to spend tens of thousands of pounds on a rarified car either.
I'm certain as recently as a few months ago that was on their advert in that magazine
the SM is also still for sale too from memory
