Dear All,

As instructed by welcome message, I'm making a hello post.

Been collecting watches in a leisurely manner all my life, have around 30 or 40, a wide range of everything from daily quality standards like Casio and Timex through fashion watches like Issey Miyake and Philippe Starcke/Fossil, through to proper autos like Chanel and Bulgari - all genuine.

I've never been that heavily into Rolex but recently decided I might pick up one to round out my collection: having settled on a rhodium Yacht Master the price of a genuine article is mind boggling. Even if I could get one, even second hand, I can't justify spending that much on my wrist and not my family.

So having been aware of the rep world vaguely for a while, I've recently become aware of the existence of high quality replicas and have joined up here to see what is out there in terms of getting a YM. Maybe its the start of a rep collection. Who knows.

Look forward to finding out more,

J
