hi all

[thebra1n]

hi folks

stumbled across this place whilst trying to decide which of the million sites to order my first rep from, and im so glad i did.

i'm looking to take the plunge with a Tag Heuer Monaco LS, tryed a gen on in the trafford center, manchester and fell in love, sadly i doubt i will ever be able to afford the gen so it will have to be a rep not that thats gonna be a bad thing looking at some of the beauties on here

be gentle with a rep n00b

bra1n...get ready, it's an awesome time to get into reps. It might get overwhelming but stop by the Hublot & Panerai section...& the Omega, Rolex, AP, Cartier

Friendly bunch here, don't be afraid to ask questions

Welcome to the best place on the net for replica watch information!

[thebra1n]

thanks for the warm welcome, well ive bitten the bullet and ordered a monaco ls for watch eden, just got to count the days till its on my wrist

[Rav747]

excellent choice. Please post pics when you get them

[thebra1n]

well my new watch arrived in only 9 days from placing the order, which isnt bad at all, sadly after getting as excited as a kid at christmas whilst opening the very well wrapped watch, i find that the minute hand isnt on properly and points in the direction you point the watch, i have sent a message to watch eden to inform them and ask for a plan of action so ill have to wait a little longer to wear it.

On a plus side the watch does look very very nice which only hightens the frustration of not being able to wear it yet

hmm.. any chance you can post pics? if i cant help, im sure someone with more knowledge may able to help you. Might be a small fix.

not sure pics would tell you much Rav, basically the hour hand works fine the seconds dial at 6 is fine and the chrono works fine, its just if you move or shake the watch the minute hand swings around, i would imagine it hasnt been pushed into place properly and as ive never opened a watch before i dont fancy doing it lol

[Rav747]

I dont blame you. I am no watch expert, but if its a small fix, paying shipping back and forth might be a lil' pricey. But ya, i have not opened a caseback, so i would be pretty clueless. lol. Hope it works out, at the end.

Yep easy fix !, prob got a hard hit on the way over! just take it to any watchmaker they should be able to fix it while you wait...

figured it would be easy enough to fix, but not for me.

Havent got a clue on how to find a watchmaker to sort it, any ideas ?? im in Cheshire England

[Rav747]

I went to a local mall and asked a watch smith if he would feel comfortable working on a rep, and he said, no problem, so went to him and got mine fixed. Shouldn't be to hard.

[thebra1n]

might be worth a try rav, last one i went to many years ago with a rep rolex looked at me like id just run over his dog lol

[Rav747]

LOL. don't sweat that stuff.

I cant stand people who think all n' mighty that they own gens OR people who look down on people who buy reps.

Honestly, i had 3 gens; sold two due to hard times and one, so i could buy more reps

Buying reps has taught me so much. To be honest, i dont think i would ever buy a gen. Thats just me though.

Def, give that a shot. Esp, if its a small fix. Not worth the doh sending it back and forth and the worst part...WAITING... lol.
