Venomous 0 Posted September 7, 2014 Hi all, Probably like many, I ended up here after doing a few reviews about replica dealer websites to see if they were legit or total scams. I think I found this place by looking for a review of SoliSwiss.cd - I fell in their bullshit trap unfortunately, but lucky enough never purchased one. It's a shame because I loved the whole clone movement thing. On the other hand, I have purchased a Rolex Yacht Master II from PerfectWatches.cn, and after reading some reviews, I think I've lost my money before the watch has even been sent! Lesson learned. I was going to buy the YM, a Daytona, Breitling Navitimer and Bvlgari Diagono all in one hit, but something told me to get one and go from there. Those watches are in my wishlist to start with (if you can point me in the direction of reputable dealers, that would be much appreciated!), but I have a feeling I'm going to become a rep collector due to my addictive personality and love of watches. I look forward to viewing some fantastic reps and reading excellent threads and hopefully when I'm a little more knowledgeable I'll be able to contribute without sounding like a fool!

Daywatch 4 Posted September 7, 2014 Hi and welcome. It´s very advisable to research each model first here on rwg, some are better than others and some have more significant flaws. Overall best looking and working reps. have hours, minutes, seconds and a date - that´s it. Chronographs are a bit more complicated - either design-wise or some unreliabilities with the movements. Have fun reading, it´s all part of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Venomous 0 Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks all for the welcome. I've read quite a bit today and looked at some of the watches on the TD's websites. I'm totally blown away by the quality. And some of the members collections, I'm incredibly jealous. I'm looking forward to buying my first rep from a TD here and I think I'm going to purchase a MontBlanc. They just look the cats whiskers!

elp 26 Posted September 9, 2014 Great introduction. Welcome from a fellow UK'er. One suggestion: take it slow, buy a piece or two max at a time, learn what you can/can't live with/without in terms of faults and inaccuracies before moving on to the next purchase(s).

This is great advice I bought two watches m2m today was ready to order my first from a TD then the TD said they only had quartz available and I knocked it back even tho I loved the look of the watch Then I went back and bought it as realised I am not yet a movement nazi but only owning a couple of reps from m2m made me realise this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
