I hope you didn't pay by credit card because I'd you did, you'll probably lose $30-$50 getting a refund. Send your PayPal details to Pickle via PM so he can pay back what he's cost you.

museguy 14 Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Hi All, Happy Holidays ! Today received my second rep watch a, Noob IWC Ingenieur Laureus Sport For Good Foundation. It took a while, but have been enjoying the hunt. Will take more photos. Purchased the watch from Li at J Time, Li was very good with the communication and shipping. I asked three times and he confirmed it is a Noob, not sure if there is anyway to know for sure if iit is a Noob or a MKF factory. The watch seems very well made and the watch dial is stunning. Would like to change the strap to a brown hornback alligator strap. Edited December 24, 2019 by museguy added text Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
museguy 14 Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Have found this strap, like the color and texture. From ABP Concept I welcome any suggestions for straps, thank you ! Edited December 24, 2019 by museguy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

museguy 14 Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) This beauty arrived this week, ZF Fifty Fathoms. @CurioLeo you are a very bad influence ! Since the title of this thread is "First Replica Watch Purchase Recommendations" and I am know looking for my forth purchase in less than five months, think I will close out this thread and start posting reviews of each watch. Thank you all for the guidance ! Cheers Edited January 27, 2020 by museguy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
