LightGeek 25 Posted June 22, 2023 It’s my time. Perhaps it was due to the challenging times we faced, maybe it was a matter of financial constraints... Regardless, I must express the immense joy I've experienced within this community. It's hard to believe that over a decade has passed since I first encountered the remarkable craftsmanship of TD sourced replica watches. Throughout my search, I've always sought a timeless piece of modest proportions that would serve as my final acquisition. And now, I've found it in the form of a 1971 Rolex Date 1501, whose tritium markers have long since faded away. It possesses a simple and classic design, with a smaller size and folded links, complemented by an acrylic crystal. Though I would have preferred a jubilee bracelet, the passing years would have surely taken their toll on it — and be stretched beyond recognition! Reflecting upon this journey, I can't help but recall the virtual friendships I've forged and those who have departed. I am sincerely grateful for the enriching experiences along the way. Most, if not all, of my replica watches will soon find new homes, alongside a collection of genuine timepieces. My hope is that they will bring as much joy to their new owners as they have brought to me. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

porschespeedster 19 Posted June 23, 2023 Great piece. Is it all Gen? Congrats on the idea to 'thin the herd', hope it all works out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GC 4,511 Posted June 23, 2023 @LightGeek over the last few months I’ve gone through the whole process of letting my 13yr collection of replicas go… there were times I questioned my decisions and sometimes my sanity regarding particular pieces. You will find a balance in the collection, keeping the one piece you love most till the end, by then you can decide how you feel But like the old saying goes… “a man with one watch knows the time, a man with two watches is never quite certain ” Congrats on the beautiful Rolex 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OLDBLOKE74 6,894 Posted June 23, 2023 Good choice ! There is no occasion or dress code that the silver 1501 would be inappropriate for. I sometimes question if I should get rid of my reps but the value is so small compared to gens that it almost feels like it’s not worth the hassle. That is my excuse anyway 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, that depends on if the interest rates keep on hiking up, haha. Still, I don't think so. I've got a bunch of watch projects that have stalled, hard. COVID has made me take much more time with the kids. On 23/06/2023 at 16:26, APjumbo said: Did someone say reps for sale in Canada? Its like music to me ears. No. Nobody said that. Hi, I'm Nobody.
