Super Heroes and Their Watches Part 2

 

 

 

Our next Hero up is the one with sticky fingers.

 

 

 

 

"The friendly neighborhood guy"

 

Now you won't be able to see it because of his suit, but

Spidey wears this watch while at work:

 

 

 

The Tissot T-Race

 

A close source said he has a wide variety of Swatch watches,

but it could not be verified.

 

 

 

 

Of course you have to ask his other half or it would not be fair.

 

Peter Parker is a realist, but he really knows his stuff too.

 

While he's not caught up in a web he dons one of these:

He's fond of the Olympics. 

 

 

 

Except if it's the weekend, then you would see him wear this one:

 

 "SHOCKING"

Isn't it?

Can you guess who will be next?

Wait and see. 



SUPER HEROES AND THEIR WATCHES

 

Have you ever wondered what type of watch your favorite

Super hero likes?

 

Well lets check in with them to find out.

 

 

Let's start off with the most famous Hero of all time!

 

 

 

 

Most people would believe that the man of steel would have no need for a watch but to tell the truth he's really into them.

    

SUPERMAN'S FAVORITE

THE C X SWISS 20,000FT WATCH

 

 

The "Man of Steel" was looking for something that could take hits from a shotgun and the occasional blast from dynamite,

what can I say? He's an educated customer.

 

Now Clark Kent on the other hand is a very no nonsense type of guy, so he sports this:

 

The Speed Master Day Date

 

 

Actually it's rumored that a close friend gave it to him for a going away present.

 

 

 

Next post we'll look at what another Super Hero is wearing these days.

 

 

Till then

 

 





REPLICAS FOR DESTRUCTION

 

You may have a fake watch if . . .

 

 

 

In this post I will show you a few fakes that would catch my eye right away.

 

Before I start I'll be the first to tell you, there are bad fakes and there are good fakes. Then there are fakes that have Frankenstein

DNA, what this means is that they have parts from "many" different "real" watches, but the parts (and or) serial numbers don't match up. Many watch companies deem these type as "fake" even though they have genuine parts. Even the Rolex company will tell you if you decide to have a aftermarket date magnifier added to your Sea Dweller "on the crystal" (outside of the watch) they will label it as FAKE, and they will not service it, NO JOKE!

 

TAKE A LOOK AT THESE

 

 

  

 

Most of the new Rolex fakes have a micro engraving over the

6. This marking is a very small "Rolex Crown", with having a fake and a real Rolex side by side you can see that in the fake the engraving is twice as large as the original.

Keep that in mind when someone wants to sell their Sub dirt cheap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fake markets are everywhere. Believe it or not, even in the USA.

 

 

 

 

 

So, we now have a question to answer...

...what to do with all those fake (and or) replica watches.

 

I'm glad you asked,

the usual way we have all seen is the

 

 STEAMROLLER!

 

The problem with this is that it is very yesterday.

 

 Now it is time for a new way to rid the Earth of these

"cheap imitations of another mans genius"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE REPLICAS FOR DESTRUCTION

ART PROJECT

 

Now you can get rid of that watch your Uncle Joe got you on one of his trips.

Put it to good use, send in your fake today to have it disassembled

and turned into a

 

REAL WORK OF ART

 

I am down about 575 watches to complete the sculpture I have named:

 

"THE WATCHMAKER"
