Some quick advice on a watch please!

Recommended Posts

chriszammett

Hi guys

 

I've been off the forum for a while but I need to buy a rep very quickly.

 

I am getting married in a fortnight and I need to buy myself a smart 'dress' watch, or at least one that can comfortably fit under a shirt cuff.

 

In the past i have bought a couple of panerais and a hublot, both of which are too chunky. I don't really know much about the more subtle watches.

 

So - suggestions please, and dealers too, as I need it in double quick time!

You don't say where you are, but in general if you need it quick, PrestigeWatchCo is likely to be the fastest - but order it right away as you're cutting things pretty fine.

 

As far as dress watches go, how about a Rolex Day/Date II. Not too small at 41mm, but not chunky either. A very elegant watch: http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...showtopic=14553

To get better advice, what is your location and budget?

 

Also what color dial, strap and watch case is your preference; leather, metal?

 

Something else to consider is buying a rep from another member on this forum or another.

Sorry - should have been more specific.

 

I'm in the UK, budget is £300 including strap.

 

I would quite like a mesh strap on this style of watch, but it's not hugely important.

 

I don't generally like rolex's that much, but could be convinced otherwise.

I quite like the Chanel J12 and Audemars Piguet AP JULES AUDEMARS SS BLACK

 

What do people think? Is there a very good J12 rep available as whatever I buy I want it to be reliable.

and I also like the omega railmaster...

Of those two the AP is far superior.

 

The J12 is just too feminine for a man's dress watch.

 

Now the Railmaster is a fucking stunning watch. But although it's thin, it's huge. So be aware.

I think I'm sold on the AP JULES AUDEMARS FLYING TOURBILLON. I've found one on precious time but he doesn't seem to be responding. Anyone know another trusted dealer that would have them?

 

Thanks

Mary has this one, but getting it to you within the timeframe you stated is going to be problematic. You've left it rather late, I'm afraid.

@OP, it's been 4 or 5 days since your original post and you stated at that time you needed the rep within 14 days.

 

Considering you've already wasted a third of your time procrastinating your only viable option at this time is a EU based dealer.

It's been 3 days. I haven't been procrastinating just choosing a watch and finding a dealer. If I'm too late I'm too late. It's being bought for me as a present and I only knew about it the night before the post.

 

I contacted pt straightaway but had no response hence asking about another potential dealer.

 

Thanks for your advice though.

Not to bust your balls but your original post was on the 11th and today is the 15th. That's 4 days, the extra day I threw in for exaggeration, LOL.

 

Seriously EU based (stocking) trusted dealer, Period:

You must be in a different time zone it was the 12th when I posted! ;0)

 

Cheers for that other euro dealer though I hadn't heard of him.

 

Andrew at trustytime has it and 'thinks' he can get it here in 10 days so will have a ponder this evening then order tomorrow with fingers crossed.

Will do!!

 

Anyone know any decent strap dealers for this type of watch? I'm clued up with panerai straps but not for this style.

 

Strap will come at a later date mind as this watch is a bit of a budget buster!
