Well, you ended up getting your extra opinions here in this thread. Are you convinced now that what you have bought is a really bad quality fake?

Dear Sir,

Thank you for lodging you complaint. We take our forum members, especially the non-contributing ones, very seriously and endeavor to do our utmost to ensure sensitive feelings and emotions are coddled in a way that will give rise to future sniveling behavior. It is in this regard we have reviewed your complaint.

Please understand that the purpose of the Replica Identification forum is to identify fakes so no one is scammed by one. It serves an interest to our forum community unsure about a prospective purchase. The forum also actively scans eBay for sellers attempting to pass off fakes, reports them and aids the consuming public at large. What we do NOT do here is provide information which furthers the interests of owning fakes including, in your case, providing information about how close to real is a fake you knowingly choose to own. Please understand our concern is fake owners often use legitimate forums like ours to see how "good" their POS fakes are and then, in turn, they end up on eBay. In short, when it comes to fakes there are some things up with we will not put!

It is not the intention of the Moderators or members to cause any distress to any member, even the clearly misguided. Our Moderators are duly mindful of the overly sensitize members of society and do not wish to cause anyone to suffer humiliation or PTSD. In that regard, Roff saved you a raft of humiliation from the forum members by locking your thread. He was, in fact, your guardian angel. Frankly, it is our collective judgment you should be out in crowded "Black Friday" stores picking out the perfect Christmas present for our esteemed co-Moderator.

But since you have re-opened this naively nonsensical subject to the members at large, you have assumed the risk of any permanent damage which may be caused from the cognitive dissonance which may result.

Let us be clear - we are not and never will be a forum which tolerates fakes nor will the job of our moderators be to explain the facts of life to those who want information on their fake watch. May we suggest a trip to Canal Street where the vendors will be more than happy to validate you and your watch?

At least I didn't tell him to take a hammer to it.
