I have to share this awful experience

[sahcivan]

So here's a quick story, you might want to sit down!

I was at a friend of my partners for dinner last night. Nice meal, nice couple, it was the first time I had met them. My partner has worked with the wife for a few years and they finally got around to arranging a night for us to come over for dinner.

The conversation was flowing, having not met them before we were talking about all sorts and the conversation turned to watches. My partner mentioned that I had an unhealthy watch obsession, particularly with Rolex.

At this point the husband had a huge grin on his face and with a smile and wink said he had something to show me.

He returned from upstairs with what at first glance looked like a Yellow gold Daytona. Well it was, sort of, but it wasn't.........

He passed it to me and within half a second I came to the conclusion it wasn't genuine, it felt nowhere near heavy enough to be made of gold, but I looked over it and everything else looked OK.

He was staring at me waiting for a reaction, I asked his where he got it from. He said it was left to him in a will from a friend. I asked if he had it checked out to see if it was real (it was the politest way I could think of phrasing it that it didn't feel right to me)

It turns out that it was in fact a genuine Daytona! BUT (here's where you might want to grab a sick bag) he had it "modified" by one of these places you can send things like IPods to get them gold plated!!!!!

I was genuinely speechless, I didn't want to be rude and tell him what I actually though, but I was disgusted hahaha, who the hell would do that!!!!

WHY WHY WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:ba nghead:
