Good to see you Ace.
Welcome to RepGeek, enjoy and make yourself at home.
You will surely like it here.
Cheers and again, Welcome!
glad to have you aboard!!
Welcome!
Because I cannot afford a real one, ha...and I have been debating on purchasing a Replica. It appears that TrustyTime88.com is a reputable website from all the posts I've read....I just cant quite pull the trigger on purchasing a replica yet....I am looking hard into the Brietlings, Chopard and Rolex replica's though.....It's that whole uncertainty factor as to the quality of watch I will receive that is holding me back......Quote:

but read around, seems that a lot of people also like the BK-modified rolex reps...
they're supposedly closer to the gen than "off the shelf" josh or andrew
Get a cheap Noobmariner. You'll be spoiled then. :)Quote:

I agree that there are many reps one can have a lot of fun with. But not with a rolex rep. Even these "perfect", "ultimate" and "super" reps have so many so obvious parts that just look wrong that any guy beeing into watches will know that it is a fake.
There are a lot of good Breitling and Panerai reps, but don't buy a Rolex rep.
A noobmariner is nice, quite good watch for the money. From distances about 2 metres it will have the look of a genuine, but on your wrist it won't. And it does not have a genuine feel, not the genuine quality.
A noobmariner is a nice cheap watch, but quite expensive for a rep, as it just is a bad to average rep and not as good as many other reps for the money.
Be patient, save your money, buy a used Submarine NoDate (14060M) from the mid 90s and you'll get a watch that will stay with you for the rest of your entire life. You should get one for about $3,300 ...
IMHO any money spent on a Rolex rep is wasted money as they aren't any good rolex reps in a price range that does not allow buying a cheaper genuine model (e.g. the genuine NoDate sub instead of a $4,500 rep of a vintage seadweller using a genuine movement).
To all above, thanks for the different opinions listed above. I think my first replica will be a Chopard / Gran Turismo XL / Asia 21J from TT88. I like that this has a rubber strap, also like the face alot and the round magnifier. Anyone have any comments to share about this model?
Thanks!
Ace
Welcome Ace..............

Where can I find one of these $4,500 reps?
Buy a Panerai 183H with Swan neck!! Actually, I think there might be a good deal on one here on the forum.
Let me see...YUP!! Here is the link

I personally like my watches to be 45mm or bigger, the only exception to that would be to get a rolex, but that is one of the major things that gets to me, is the case size being so small for the rolexes.....Thanks for the idea though...Quote:

The do quite a lot of nice Rolex reps, but they are that expensive, that a cheaper genuine Rolex wouldn't be any more expensive. But those vintage Daytona reps are just wunderful... could be one of my next investments :)
You're right saying that a noobmariner has a lot of bang for the buck, but IMHO only for a watch, not for a Rolex rep. Any cent spent on a bad rep was too much for me. When buying a rep one should be sure to buy something accurate with high quality.
Go for the swiss ones then...
