Corv99 2 Posted July 2, 2011 Hi All, from Newcastle in the United Kingdom. been into watches for some time, almost spent some years back thousands on an original... then after a trip to the far east bought 2 cartiers, a breigtling, jaeger le coultre... if I had more money with me I wouldhave also got an IWC and a porsche design not one of them more than £30!!! probably not the best copies, but I think they look fine, and a fraction of what the real thing costs.... whats not to like. since coming back I have managed to get a nice Panerai, although the strap has now broke. the way I look at it if it tells the time, right weight and size etc.... thats all that really matters been looking for a site like this to aid locating watches!! but I feel this is going to be expensive.....already think I may part with my collection, and start again... concern here is locating good dealers, and getting them past customs anyway, been interesting looking through posts, no doubt will be asking for advice in due course!!!
