New to the forum & the rep game !

Hi all,

I’ve been documenting myself and learning about the rep world for a few weeks now. Great community and lots and lots of informations available!!

I still continue to read and inform myself as I contemplate the purchase of a rep Daytona 116500 or AP 15202, or eventually vintage Rolex.. All the topics available have helped me a lot understand differences with factories, TDs etc... I expect to go ahead soon as I feel way less unsecured after reading your posts, so thanks for that!

I will monitor as well the trade section as it could be a good option for a first buy of rep; maybe coming from a EU/UK seller.

Anyway, happy to join this forum as I’m passionate of watches, notably Rolex, but grey market prices have gone too crazy for me to follow...

Few words to present myself : 30 yo living in France, I own a couple of gen watches (submariner 14060m, date 1500, jlc reverso dualface, omega speedmaster, longines legend diver). No rep owned yet, expect maybe a Daytona I bought in Italy 15y ago and that has disappeared since then...

Looking forward to discuss with all of you

cheers

Welcome... Lots of great info here !!!

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to RG.

Thanks for the welcome!

Quick question, is a new member able to buy in the trade section or do you new a minium of posts/ time etc..

TBH I feel more confortable buying for a member based in EU, rather than from a TD coming from China.. Worried about customs here in France, but maybe I'm wrong..

Thanks!

You can buy but not sell. It may be hard to find a seller. People.like a member who has established themselves. Believe it or not, scammers come in and do damage to the many good members here.

Maybe become a VIP? It shows you have invested or put some flesh in the game.

Thanks DaleM for the answer!
Sure i'll then consider becoming VIP, have to admit I read a lot and document myslef but don't post really since I don't have anything to post about yet...
