Now he is having a discussion with the guy who spotted the fake. But he is backing up as the guy is right and he knows it is fake.
Entertaining at least!!!

The response of the fake gmt owner to the guy who spotted. He's allegedly spoke to the guy who sold him the gmt...lol

I'm trying to look out for others since you like to give bad advice based on what i've seen.

that other thread would've been 100x better if you had never posted..what does that tell you?

I've warned others, now they can do what they want with the info.
Dude, let’s dial back the personal animus...I read the sub thread referenced cover to cover...I don’t think anyone claimed omniscience. And we all can be a bit rough around the edges in the way we phrase things.

I think you’ve made your point and Gladiator has answered. Let’s move on to helping out this OP with his query.

Mate im in this section all the time and i can tell you from what i have witnessed Gladiator will never pass his opinion(and its a very experienced one at that!) unless hes 100%
Ive seen guys bashing away on watches and he will quite clearly say "without better pictures he cannot judge accurately"
He has never mislead anyone and ive yet to see im make a wrong call....... so do yourself a favour before insulting one of the good guys around here and do a search through the forums...... might make your stay a bit more friendly.
Alot of people have been saved alot of heartache due to his knowledge and i for one appreciate the effort he puts in


And if Crowncollection passes his opinion its gospel lol!

shabaang - you seem to be basing your "opinion" on just one thread - neatly ignoring the other 2,980 post that the man has made

Seems like dodgy arithmetic to me, but you can choose what counts as you see fit .....

That is twice you mentioned you are a new member, and having watched this site for a bit I am not sure you should be offering advice.
