Yup, you *almost* got here in time, maybe you did. You might consider a little white lie with the credit card company. "My wife used my card to surprise me with a new watch, but when I realized what she did, I found out is was a replica". They might be able to put a quicker halt on it, i dunno?

Glad you did get here. Best to find pictures of the exact watch you want, make a post about it here, tell us your rough budget for it, and we can tell you your options.

Your research about Subs here should consist mainly of two areas, "tells", (little problems that let you tell it's a replica), and movements. 21 jewel or 21j is cheaper, asian clone is better but costs more, and Swiss is rare, if you can find it at all.

Happy Sub hunting!
