The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Well said Roff

No I haven't called anyone out, but one of the guys I work with over here saw my collection and then he broke out his stash of about 5 Breitlings. Of course all of them were "Wannabes", but that was the first thing out of his mouth. If he had not said that I probably would have asked him what he paid for them and then educated him a little bit. I would not have ridiculed him however, as it would serve no purpose to add insult to injury to the poor sap if he had been taken by someone and he would have already felt bad enough about that. If he had been the type person knowingly wearing a fake and passing it off as genuine because he was trying to impress people that's a whole different story.

Have never tried to call someone out on a fake, but at least since I've been on here I've got an idea!

In my experience, whenever you try and show yourself off to be more knowledgeable than your 'potential victim', it invariably bites you on the ass. You'll unwittingly stumble across a rare marque specialist or whatever who'll make you want to curl up and forget you opened your gob.

Humility and acceptance, people.
