jks123 0 Posted April 25, 2011 Hey came across this site while trying to find which sites are legit and not. Over the past few years I have been buying some gens in the $700 to $1500 price range while wanting watches in the $5000 to $15000 range just couldn't afford them so I settle on a Movado or TAG. I knew reps existed just never bought any before because I did not know quality reps existed until a few weeks ago when I decided to start researching. I came across this site a few days ago and have been scouring the site to get knowledge and am now looking to purchase my first rep. Not sure who to get it from yet or what to get. The Brietlings I have been seeing are georgous same with some of the Omegas. Its awesome to think I can get 5 reps for the price of what I was paying for a gen before. Does anyone know of a good place in the Houston area to get reps serviced? Thanks, JK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted April 25, 2011 Welcome to the Forum!!! Breitlings are one of the best replicas "out of the box", especially Super Avenger and Avenger Skyland. Many great replicas exist, so, prepare to be thin in cash quite soon. :gday_mate_haveabeer: For newbee I'd recommend Mary (Watchinternational), she's very patient with noobs, Lay (ReplicaMake), also great dealer, and Mark (TimeShop or TS). Robert (PrestigeWatchCompany, or PWC) is fantastic dealer too, just need to know, what exactly do you want. And... Yes, I think we have one professional watchsmith from TX. it is or "14060 or 16610?", he's member of our Forum, or Katt Repair. One of them is from TX. You can fing Katt on RWG jr forum. Good luck!!!

themoo-12 0 Posted April 25, 2011 Im from Texas too so Howdy! For servicing, I use a guy in Minnesota who is not on this forum, but has rave reviews on our sister forum. I have owned both Breitling and Omega reps, both were fantastic! I used Mary initially, but I have also used Robert as well, very, very pleased with their service!

jks123 0 Posted April 25, 2011 Ok going to pull the trigger on the first rep. going to go with something inexpensive to test it out. From what I've read from other posts everything is the same as the 7750 version just this one has the 21j movement. Is that correct? http://www.asiakrono.com/tagheuer/carrera/tagheuer_417.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted April 26, 2011 IMO a very poor rep. All the sub dials are wrong and what should be the chrono second hand is actually the regular second hand which means it will always be turning. Do yourself a favor and if you insist on a cheap 21j Chinese movement, at least don't get a chrono. A cheap quartz would be much better if you don't want to go with an actual 7750 chrono movement. Tag Heuer Carrera 42 mm. Asian automatic movement. Stainless steel case & bracelet with lock deployment folding clasp. Silverdial. Functional day (subdial 9), month (subdial 12) & hour (subdial 6) Date window at 3 o'clock. Glass back case Synthetic sapphire crystal glass. USD 98.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted April 26, 2011 Very good watch, if you have small wrist. At least it's real chrono. If you have a wrist 7" and up - 41mm watch will look kinda girly. I'd recommend 43mm TAG, it also has Day function. Little bit more pricey, but worth every penny. Lay has it too. Choose your dealer. http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...?showtopic=3093 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jks123 0 Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Checked the wrist. Its 8" exactly. I'm looking for one with a white or silver face. Edited April 26, 2011 by jks123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

egb893 0 Posted April 26, 2011 Hey jk! I noticed the more expensive Tag Carrera reps on replicamake dropped in price by 50 bucks. You might consider one of those. I have one on the way but I paid the higher price, guess I should have waited a week! texski, I'm not in the metroplex but I am down the 35 a ways in San Antonio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
