How flattering! Of all the reviews they could pick to copy, they took yours! You don't think they'd write an "original" review for a copy watch...

I took a closer look at the site. It appears they offer info for both authentic and replica watches. The dorks could've atleast asked persmission before stripping it from this forum.

That is just plain rude. And wrong.
I think Rolex should shell out some $$$ and form something like their own 'A-Team' that travels around the world and set things right in the horological world. Come on guys.... who's with me! :comeandge :armed: :machinegu

Well, you do have the team vehicle, even though it might be tough fit us all in.... :chuckle:

Hows the mustang going? would love to see some more pics of it. I like them alot, especially since they look more like the originals. One of my favourites would have to be a '65, canary yellow with the white interior. :thumbsup: mmmm... bananalicious.... :rofl:

Oh yeah, that would look sharp :thumbsup: I would take a 68 Shelby :clap: :clap: Tha's been my dream car for as far back as i can remember :agree:
The car has been on hold since the scoops went on. I have to let the hood, bumper and spoiler set while on the car for three days unpainted until they form to the appropriate shape :thumbsdow I think the car would look hideous like that, so I'm waiting until the summer ends before I have them installed :crying: But, they look great in my attic, though :chuckle: :chuckle:

I look forward to seeing it!
If my addled brain remembers correctly, yours is a metallic grey?
I saw a fastback on the road the other day in a dark, metallica grey and it looked mean! :thumbsup:

Tossed in my 2 cents' worth. How long will it last before the schmuck deletes it?

I don't remember seeing that before. I think it's been added recently.

It certainly wasn't there when I first read it. Jerks.

Nothing like digging up a thread from 3 1/2 years ago...

well, at least they gave you a writing credit and cited their source. That might make it legit, but I also understand the feeling of being slighted.

Maybe we are expecting too much from these guys who make their living ripping off legitimate brands.

They will rip anyone off.......don't expect them to have a conscience about it!!


So they cited the source......BIG DEAL......they are using this ligit source of our good member to sell dodgy watches!!!!!!:thumbsdow:lame:

I say #### ém:rant:

Lets call our friend Bear Grylls to kick their A##ES:pow::machinegu:armed:

SteveK

Bear Grylls would need his camera crew to assist in the kicking of the asses, but only after staging it.

I personally prefer Les Stroud of "Survivorman"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorman

Now he's hard core, no crew or anything, sets up and retrieves his own cameras all the while surviving.

Actually crediting you with the review is even worse than just stealing your words...

Just cutting and pasting gives the impression that you are endorsing the site.

I'd be pissed.

Suggestion- copyright your review, then you can take them to court to have it removed for using it without your consent

Thanks for the heads up....do you have any recourse? Do any MODS have any practical advice on how to avoid this in the future?
