    Default Newb to replica watches, need some advice!

    I was referred to this board by another member on here. I am new to the replica watch community, so, of course, I have some questions, mainly looking for recommendations.

    I tried out a Breitling Bentley and loved it. It had a white face and beautiful dial, SS band. I'm not sure the exact model name. Anyways, I guess I will post my wish list and hopefully the "pros" on here can point me in the right direction. Bear with me, I'm new at this!

    Watch 1
    - Something that goes good w/ business casual (khakis and button up)
    - Nothing too "blingy".... Would like a SS Band, white, somewhat large face

    Watch 2
    - Something that goes well w/ jeans and t-shirt/polo
    - Would still prefer SS band, but open to leather

    Watch 3
    - Something to wear w/ a suit and tie
    - Maybe some "bling" factor to the watch

    Watch 4
    - And of course, the "bling" watch, I love the rather large faced watches, maybe something similar to a Haimov This Time, HM1 or HM2 watch, I would even venture to say a Jacob and Co. style, but w/o all those crazy colors.

    Again, I'm sorry if this is a bit much, but, I am truly impressed w/ the quality of the replicas, but just don't want to get ripped off. Plus, I am unfamiliar with the brands and styles and where to buy. So, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    1. Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow, hand wind.

    2. Omega Planet Ocean, regular or chrono.

    3. Breguet

    4. Can't help with the bling. Every time I see one, all I can think of is Elton John!

    Just check the dealersection m8, these are trusted dealers, and read the dealerreviews to pick your dealer...
    When you are based in Europe then maybe a better choice to start could be the UKbased dealers, no customs troubles for sure

    These threads could also be helpful

    Thanks... I will check those threads.

    I'm located in the U.S., near D.C.; I hope that won't cause any customs issues!?!

    I guess my bling watch would be worn to the Casino or some place where "over the top" is accepted. My wife carries the real deal hand bags and bling jewelry, I figured, what the hell, it's time I gave up on the Fossil watches and got me a bit of bling too!

    Hey Off2buds,

    Welcome to the forum. Watch 1 can do double duty as watch 2. Pretty much anything by Breitling, Omega, Panerai, or Rolex. Might consider the Vacheron Constantin Overseas. May as well get one of each for variety!

    Watch 3 - Maybe look at something from Cartier, A. Lange, or Jaeger. Breguet would be nice too. Something on a black leather band. But, take a look at the prices of the gens. Would your friends look at you funny if you had a $20,000 watch on your wrist?

    Watch 4 - Hmmm, not much into bling either, but the Hublot Big Bang is getting a lot of attention at the moment.

    Good luck.

    -lux

    Great options are already posted for you. I'd suggest going through the sites of some of the dealers with a lot of watches and just clicking on watches and see what floats your boat. If you have any specific questions just cut/paste the pics here and ask away!

    off2buds,

    You could get a thousand recommendations with no two the same for your list and you might even want multiple watches for each category to fit your mood.
    All I can suggest is that you spend some time browsing the dealer sites and see what you like. As well as the main recommended dealers you might want to try Kingwatch http://cclv.net/ as the pictures of every watch are on one page, just keep scrolling till you see what you like.

    Once you've got a shortlist you can pick your dealer and start ordering.
