Is it too expensive, I don't mind paying more if it's good quality

Does the site seem 'trust worthy'

 

Thanks,

Damian

I can't imagine getting decent quality in a rep costing less than $100. My experience with watches costing less than $150 is spotty at best. Some look very good and have lasted, others look fine on the wrist but clearly are reps if examined off the wrist, and one I bought for $100 is a joke that I now wear while mowing the lawn. If you experienced purchasers of inexpensive reps are happy with $100 watches, that is great news for me, as I will be enticed to buy some. Right now I'm looking for a very thin dress watch and PP and Piaget look to be the best choices. Finally, I really like knowing what the movement is, and many dealers don't give that info which makes me very leery right off the bat.

I agree, what you make of the watch on the link?

Pictures can be so deceiving. I am more trusting of them when they are clearly NOT professionally done. It's a crap shoot, for sure, until you find a dealer you can trust. I have one, but he doesn't carry a wide variety of manufacturers, so I'm a bit limited. I guess I'm never satisfied. If it's too cheap, I think it's junk; if it's expensive, I fear a rip off.

I guess I shoulda just posted some crappy pics then B)

 

Look, if any of you think that you're going to get Patek quality movements and comparable gold cases and finishes at $100 or $150 or $500 or even $1000, then please swallow this

It will bring you back down to reality, it's impossible to achieve, HOWEVER, if you want a nice DRESS watch for OCCASIONAL wear that 99.9% of your coterie of acquaintances at Bodine's Big-Rack-O-Ribs not to mention the girls in the typing pool won't know from genuine, then you have to pee with pecker you've been given, if you're gonna turn up to the wedding of a Boston or Hyannisport socialite, then you'll need to dig a little deeper.

 

QC doesn't stand for quality control, it stands for 'quality costs' B)

Well, there you go, all my experience, not to mention TTK and other members here are obviously not up to your imagination !

Ok, I bought a Channel J12 from Lay. Watch £68 Inc postage. Quartz movement, sapphire glass and bezel. Ceramic everything else. It is amazing quality. You don't have to spend loads for quality.

I think it's fantastic, great quality and a steal at the price, I suggest you snap it up immediately, don't wait, there might not be many in stock and you wouldn't wanna mniss out B)

Bump as your question got burried, and that Calatrava has been on my list ever since I saw it in a Tourneau catalogue (product brochure companies used to mail. B) )

 

My plan was to send the picture below to Mary at WatchInternational. The question still is, how do I find out if it has Sapphire not to bother her needlessly

 

Maybe an experienced poster will help.

I can't find any contact details for Mary, tries the wi site but no email a dress or anything. Is it possible to send me the email address?

 

Not sure if I would rather yellow or rose gold.....

Mary is a trusted dealer, she is down as 'watchinternationl'. Find a picture of a watch you like and e-mail it to her, with a request for sapphire etc and she will tell you the options and prices. She is really friendly and doesn't mind you asking questions.

Baldrick, These are beautiful photos of a gorgeous watch.

 

Why are there no hands on the sub-dial on the last photo?

Do you happen to know? It looks odd.

 

Great stuff tho and thanks for sharing.

There are three known ways of eliminating the second hand as above photo>

 

1. Open the watch and rip the thing out

2. Spend 30-60 min w Photoshop

3. Use long exposure (several seconds)

 

Take your pick

Different dealers have different preferences. To find out:

have you considered reason 4: Baldrick just likes to mess with you B)

[Baldrick 1]

@ Aren, with YOUR eyesight !

Well, hit me over the head with a wet haddock and call me Harriet, I have no idea

 

If you look at the exif data on the penultimate and ultimate pics of the grey dial, the one that shows the hand has an exposuretime of 2 secs and the one that doesn't show it has an exposure time of 6 secs...ergo B)

You're very selective in what you quote. Sure you're not a politician? I went on to say that it would be good news to learn that experienced purchasers are satisfied with the quality of $99 watches. And who even suggested that any knockoff would compete with the real thing? Finally, anybody can use stock photos that don't represent what they're really selling. That's why I like the pix that are clearly homemade,. They don't guarantee anything, but I think they just might be more accurate as to what is really going to show up at my door.

And you think those photos aren't home made

A modicum of research as an alternative to an outburst of waffle is always a good start

 

 

All the rep watch fora abound with a myriad of more than favourable reviews of $100 reps (you might even assuage your thirst for mediocre photos in them too)
