Rolex Sub LOL! Get a noobmariner or BKmariner :)
these are some to think bout:
-4th gen omega PO
-ultimate omega 45mm PO aka UPO
-tag link, chrono or not
-tag carerra chrono
-pam111h asian or a fully modded pam111h Davidsen
-breitling super ocean
-breitling CE
-omega GMT black dial asian
and the list can go on.
Panerai 111h
sfso (breitling steelfish) or UPO (Maybe you can get the Asian UPO for $118 from Josh if he still has it available). If not try to get a really good accurate rep...that way you will definitely be hooked. LOL
I say either
PAM 005
PAM 112
PAM 111All good beginners
i agree rolex sub
Rolex Super SD
Breitling SFSO and ultimate chronomat
Omega UPO
Panerai pam111 (angus modded)
IWC aquatimer/diver
VC overseas
I will go with either 1 of those... something that look great out of the box... :D :D

The Rolex Exporer I appears (to me anyway) to be the most exact 1:1 rep and only cost about $99-$108.00.
Aloha and E komo mai (Welcome) to the best replica discussion site on the internet. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home. We are all here to help you satisfy your addiction to watches.
The only must have rep is the one you like the best!! Don't worry, the first turns into the tenth sooner than later. Eventually you will have all of them;)
I agree with smstar--your 1st is only the beginning and there will be nothing you can do about it!!!
you want the best of everything and every model! welcome!
Just buy what YOU know and what YOU like!!! Enjoy your discovery and acquisitions!!
IMHO go classic lines:
Rolex DateDay or Date Just white face or silver concentric dial with stick markers
Rolex explorer II - my favorite Rolex model :) :)
Rolex LV mariner

Mont Blanc Automatic with leather strap
99.9% of all replica collectors start with a Sub. Best beginner rep, maybe not for everyone, just 99.9% of everyone.
Welcome to RG!
My first was a BR01. But I'd suggest a Chopard GTXL, great rep.
Steelfish!! And welcome to repgeek:)
I'd have to say the SFSO or UPO. Think you would be pleased with either one as a first rep.
Pam111e
Upo or sfso if you are in this, rolex if you are old :-)
For the price, Rolex SSD. Most here will agree that its pretty good out of the box. I have seen good reviews of Josh & Andrew's stuff. Sead1999 has them for $260.00 shipped. You can PM him and ask him to get one.
Depends on how much you want to spend on your baptismal...
but I'd vote for the SSD over the sub in the rolex family. Or better yet a SOSF.
PAM 111h (or any other beginner pam models)
Omega SMP
Omega SMP GMT
Omega PO
Breitling SFSO
Rolex Sub
I'm a noob, and I went with Ultimate BCE as my first rep, and I've been on compulsive buying frenzy ever since!!! I blame my addiction on these guys here. :p
I say DO NOT start with el cheapo. you will very likely be disappointed by how 'off' they are. There are a few exceptions however.
Like many here sugested, go with the 'Ultimate' models with cheaper asian movements. You won't be disappointed, and won't break your bank either.
I would suggest get the SSD and yeah the 'ultimate' with asian movements. Good luck!
For me the Vacheron Constantin Overseas is the must have in my collection.
Strangely, I would barely have given it a second look when I first started collecting but that seems quite common here. Your opinions will change so your chance of getting your perfect watch first time in virtually zero.
Guess you'll just have to build up an entire collection ;)
