Retrouk 25 Posted August 14, 2018 Hi all, I’ve recently discovered that I really like watches (mainly Rolex) and well I can find the money for a decent watch I can’t stretch to a sub or GMT. Therefore I’m here to gain replica knowledge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted August 14, 2018 Why of all the interesting brands out there, 90% of the people go for the boring Rolexes...End of rant.Only one suggestion: read carefully the welcome mail you got and all the new members sticky posts. And learn how a mechanical watch should be used not to kill it in the first 3 days... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadApple 13,081 Posted August 14, 2018 I had five Regmariners and sold them all because when I was out everyone assumes because it was a Rolex it was a fake / copy / replica. As @GenTLe says look at other brands. Tudor and Panerai occupy my collection now . Have a look at those. Omega, Patek Philipe, etc..... but not boring Rolex.

RepGuy 108 Posted August 14, 2018 Ignore people who tell you what to like. Although I'm not too into Rolex anymore, most people start there, which is a testimant to their marketing. Get what you like, but make sure to research first. Utilize the search bar at the top of the site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,285 Posted August 14, 2018 You think it's just marketing? No way. Some of their designs are awesome!

I think the hulk sub will be my starter watch and then see where it goes. Edited August 14, 2018 by Retrouk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll find other brands that might attract your attention, and loosen your purse strings so quickly........... you'll be reeling in shock and awe. All good at the end of the day.

Glaude 1,615 Posted August 15, 2018 I do agree that Rolex are boring in comparison to some other brands, but they remains classics and are worth considering if you can get past the fact that everyone that notice your watch will assume it's a fake. GingerBlubba had a Hulk once, but we are not allowed to talk about it.... Welcome to the forum ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
