This cracks me up. TRF Sponsor with fake Sub photo

I was looking at one of the sponsor links ("Asset Appeal") and noticed something was wrong with their Submariner photo. Clearly, it's a fake Sub. Most of you will notice right away, but the dead giveaway is the magnifying lens. Also, the "Swiss - T<25" at under the 6 o'clock circle on a Maxi-Case?? Come on man, they're not even trying! I looked at their products for sale and they look legit, I just wonder how in the world did they miss this??

Check it out:

Looks like an AI generated image of a submariner.

If that isn't a business killer it should be.

I've always felt that their banner tagline "Stop Paying Retail Price" on a Rolex forum website (with the picture of a GMT Pepsi on Jubilee) was a tad out of touch.

I wish nothing more than to pay retail price.

What did they say when you emailed them that their stock photo was a Frankenstein (or worse)?

You did that before a bold call out here to sully their rep, right?

I noticed they don't have that item offered for sale in their listings.

pretty sure asset appeal sullied their own rep when they allowed such a ridiculous pic to be associated with their business, especially considering it's posted here where pretty much any of us could and would pick it apart instantly.
