Bosox 0 Posted April 6, 2011 I'm Bosox and I just stumbled on this site. It's fascinating but I know I'll be spending too much time lurking here to suit my wife. I have purchased about 10 replicas from a dealer whom I really like and trust. Unfortunately, he doesn't carry Ulysse Nardin. I bought a real one in the Carib in February and when I returned to the same shop last week, I saw another, far more expensive one that I really like. Is this the place to inquire as to a reliable source? I'm brand new here and don't know the ins and outs yet. Thanks, Bosox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bosox 0 Posted April 7, 2011 Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome. This afternoon I spent just a few minutes looking at the replicas of a few high end watches being offerered on the trusted dealer sites. Some of the prices were amazingly low, I mean in the $120-140 range. with free shipping to boot I realize that a high price does not guarantee high quality, but I have to wonder if I'd be happy with a replica Patek Philippe costing only $130 or would it cry out "fake" even when it's on my wrist? Believe me, I don't want to pay one penny more than I need to, but I would rather pay more and get a decent product. Your experiences, please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stolikat 1 Posted April 7, 2011 You get what you pay for. That said some of the cheaper reps can be very nice on the outside but there will be obvious tells to someone in the know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for confirming what I already knew. I have a Rolex Cellini, paid something like $120 for it a while back. I don't wear it often, but when I do, it keeps good time, but a 10 year old would have no trouble seeing it was a glaring fake. I wear it when I mow the lawn.

greg_r 81 Posted April 7, 2011 Welcome to RWG! You'd be surprised just how good some budget reps can be, but they do vary enormously. $99 can buy something really very convincing - it can also buy something that looks like it came out of a cereal packet Ultimately it depends. Anyhow, you'll get the idea - spend some time having a good read of the site and looking at some of the member reviews. Shout if you need any help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
