Welcome to the community.

I was much like you when I stumbled across this place 6-7 months ago, I started with a POrikaa at around $100 and was amazed by the quality, and this is a cheaper 21j rep. I now own a fantastic Breitling Super Avenger which is fantastic quality, I'm much happier paying $300+ for this than the same for a seiko/citizen type watch just due to looks! I'm about to pull the trigger on a Hublot Ice Bang to go with it.

General consensus is that Hublot and Breitling rep's are some of the best quality / closest to gen you can get out of the box, then there's the whole modding world to explore to push it even closer at a fraction of the genuine price!

I'm sure you will enjoy. If you're interested in Hublot you may want to check out the brand new "v1 lite" HBB versions some of the dealers are now carrying for around $270, plenty of info available in the Hublot subforum
