About to order, BUT who from?

[tictoc 0]

I'm new to all of this and need some advise to get started.

 

I have decided to purchase 3 watches and i would like to order them before the holiday period in china.

 

I am torn between who to order them from as i have gone through loads of sites and picked out the watches that appear to meet with what i want.

 

Two sites offer the watches and there is next to nothing between the two in terms of price.

 

I am down to Replicamake.com and Timeshop.net.

 

Obviously a three watch purchase is not a big order but i just want some re-assuring that the two i have short listed are worth dealing with.

 

Hope someone out there can help me as i am last at this point.

 

Thank you in advance for some re-assuring help.

 

best wishes

So what have you chosen to buy then ?Have you tried House of Souvenirs Lawrence seems very helpful

[Akira 0]

I advice you to buy from Replicamake

Lay is a good dealer, great QC.

Since you are new to this, hes a good choice, since he will answer your questions.

Moreover you'll get pictures and a video from the actual watch you will receive.

He can ship though UK if your country has costum problems.

 

Go for Lay

[ebzen02 341]

+1 on Replicamake..

Now that you've selected the watches you want, and you have identified two Trusted Dealers to buy them from, it is really personal preference after that. Some people will tell you they prefer TS, others RM, some neither, etc...

 

I have bought several watches from TS within the last 6 months and they have all been superb with no issues. I haven't purchased from RM but others have posted great experiences dealing with them.

 

Either way, you will get good watches and good after-sales service if it is required.

 

Good luck .

I have actually ordered from both and each dealer were seemless

 

but all i can say is my next purchase will be from RM,

[sconehead 5]

IMO, Replicamake...

Hi tictoc,

 

Between the two dealers I would choose Lay.

As Akira said you get a photo and a video of your exact watch.

I had a completely smooth transaction with RM.

My first rep came from RM and I was very pleased.

 

I don't know what you are ordering, but for whatever it is worth,

I would avoid the 7750 movements unless you read up on them.

With the 7750's I think you need to be an educated consumer.

Some people confuse disappointment with the watch movement with

disappointment with the dealer.

IMO (which isn't very knowledgeable)

I find the 7750 movement to appear to be unreliable by it's nature.

I don't know how to work on a watch, and can't oil and service a new watch.

Some members like the 7750's, but most of them appear to be veterans not newbies.

For me as a newer rep buyer. I want something bulletproof.

 

I have read good things about TS, but don't have personal experience with them.

I think the important thing is to choose the most reliable reps to start out with,

because I think you won't go wrong with the trusted dealers here.

There are plenty of great reviews here. You can find them in the search box,

or just ask.

 

All the Best in your purchases. Can't wait for the photos and the reviews.

I've ordered from both of those dealers, as it happens. The watch I ordered from replicamake.com arrived 9 days later, the one I ordered from timesshop.net hasn't arrived yet, 16 days later.

Thank you for your help and the detail.

 

now i'm about to show my level of knowledge as i don't know about all of the different movements. I see them listed but really it kinda goes over my head. I had hoped to find somewhere a list of the movements and the detail about them but i couldn't find anything after a while looking so i moved on.

 

can you help in this area?

 

The watches i want are:-

 

Rolex Sea Dweller (not deep sea as its too big IMO)

Rolex Daytona (all stainless)

TAG Monaco or Omega Speedmaster

 

Hoping you can help me before i make a fool of myself.

 

Thanks

Thank you for all of your help out there.

 

It appears that i have narrowed the search reasonably well as no-one had bad words to say so i am relieved in that respect.

 

The watches i am hoping to get are:-

 

Rolex Sea Dweller (not Deep Sea as IMO its too big)

Rolex Daytona

TAG Monoco or Omega Speedmaster

 

If anyone could help further that would be great.

 

Thank you all again for your assistance.

Sorry for asking silly questions.

Thanks

I'm a newbie as well, and I've been looking at similar watches as you for my first purchase (Tag, Omega etc).

 

Between Lay and TS, I would go with Lay for my first purchase for the simple reason that Lay will replace your watch if its stopped in customs. TS wont replace your watch to the same extent.

Rolex Sea Dweller (not deep sea as its too big IMO)...these may be tough to find. I do not think they are repped anymore. Maybe go with the submariner. I like the swiss eta version of these personally

 

Rolex Daytona (all stainless)---there are loads of info here about the a7750 movement in this watch. A time bomb to tell the truth as the 'second hand' location is really not designed for this movement. If you must, get the 21J version, save yourself some cash, and forget about the chrono functions and you will be fine.

 

TAG Monaco ---I would go with the a7750 movement here. I do not believe there are any issues with this movement in this watch

 

Omega Speedmaster---either a7750 or Lemania ( it is not really Lemania, but that is what it will show).....there are several different designs on this watch so it depends which one you actually want

 

hope this helps

Lay is your man and Dingle's advice is solid. My only addition would be to go with the Lemania (ST-19) version of the Speedmaster as it's definitely the best of the lot.

 

Good luck.

[tictoc 0]

Thank you for your help.

 

In the end i have split my bets and ordered 1 watch from each dealer.

 

The Sea Dweller from TS and the Daytona from Replica.

 

I have left the monaco and/or omega until i see how i go with these.

 

Cheers

I've been very pleased with TS and their prices, check my recent post.

http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...showtopic=10665

 

I will give Lay a try soon though

[Slim 0]

I've ordered from both of those dealers, as it happens. The watch I ordered from replicamake.com arrived 9 days later, the one I ordered from timesshop.net hasn't arrived yet, 16 days later.

 

However it has arrived this morning, so no problems there.

[ebzen02 341]

You have made it to the safe house..aka nuthouse..your chances of being scammed have drastically diminished! Stick to the trusted dealers and you should be fine.. Have fun and remember to post pics of your very first loot..
