Hi From Melbourne, Australia

[Questions]

Hi all,
I'm a total noob...in Melbourne Australia and can feel in my gut that a full blown obsession is being born here!

I've always wanted a nice watch.....got onto Bluefakes.com and was seriously considering some watches there......but luckily i hunted around for forums and other people on the net that have been around....thank god! I'm now trying to narrow down what i want to get for my first rep.

The Brietling SuperOcean Heritage (Like the one Usil has posted on the net somewhere) is definitely high on the list....as is.....yep....a Rolex Submariner :-)

Would love to hook up with other Aussies who do this....especially in Melbourne.

1 question...........how do we go with customs etc? here in oz?

so many questions!!

Look forward to chatting/contributing soon!

Cheers

hi Sebby - welcome to RepGeek and good to read you did not get scammed by bluefakes.

We have quite a few members from down under - I'm sure they steer you in the right direction regarding the best shipping method.

cheers and again Welcome!

Welcome sebby.......

Yes the super Ocean Heratage is high on my list as well

Customs are hit and miss.

I had 4 reps come with no issues from customs, but my last one has been seized but the Deal*er is sending another one to replace it.

Good thing about the dea*lers here that they stand behind their watches.

Many Aussies on the forum,Sebby....will be along shortly to help with your customs question....in general, 'no worries,mate'....

Welcome to the forum.....

Hi Sebby,
Welcome ........ no problems with customs (6 purchases in the last 3 months) . They have had a peek at the packages but so long as you do not order by the dozen I don't think you'll have any problems. The service from Perfect Clones and TrustyTime has been great.
I'm in the ACT so little chance of catching up ....
Cheers

Thanks Tezact....I grew up in good ol Canberra (Tuggeranong)...Cheers :-)

no customs problems here either...
5 watches and 2 on their way, and i think only 1 has been opened without problem...
if only the shipping time was quicker...im impatient

[Questions]

Well....I think i'm about 98% sure my first foray into rep collecting is going to be the Breitling Superocean Heritage from Silix.

I just can't stop looking at it......and seeing the wrist shot on Usils thread elsewhere here (he has same wrist size as me 7.5") is sealing the deal.

I'm now tossing up between black dial and the leather rep bracelet...or blue dial with the milanese bracelet that usil has.

I'm obsessed!

G'day Sebby! I'm tempting fate by saying this but 5 reps so far and zero problems with OZ customs.

Note to Dave123: I think we might be giving you Canucks a run for your money in the RG membership numbers!
