grimbo 0 Posted August 20, 2011 Hello everyone, From Aust :gday_mate_haveabeer: My watch just broke today (some crappy rip curl i got for birthday few years ago). Decided need a new watch and thought I might look into some replicas. If anyone has any suggestions for a newb to go about this please suggest away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pollux1 3 Posted August 20, 2011 Hi and welcome mate! What kind of watch do you like? Best thing is to read, read then read some more, there's loads of info here and plenty of good advice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grimbo 0 Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Hi and welcome mate! What kind of watch do you like? Best thing is to read, read then read some more, there's loads of info here and plenty of good advice! Idk what I would like, I am 20 and want something that is more 'mature' compared to the rather teenage looking watches I've had. Started reading all the sticky and already learning! EDIT: I have a rather small wrist so not fan of anything that has a massive face. Edited August 20, 2011 by grimbo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,463 Posted August 20, 2011 Hello and welcome! Depends on what you like and when you will wear the watch. I'm a big Breitling fan but also like Rolex and Panerai - if you click on the link in my signature you'll see pics of my current collection, which might give you some ideas at least. Also check the review section. :gday_mate_haveabeer: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wat44 0 Posted August 20, 2011 gday I recommend Omega planet ocean for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paule11 0 Posted August 21, 2011 Omega planet ocean or a Panerai as most people would never have seen one in Australia or heard of the brand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted August 21, 2011 Hey mate, welcome. A Tag would be another good choice, very popular with the younger crowd and a lot get given as graduation gifts so believable. Don't knock the Rip Curls too hard, they are a surprisingly good watch, well made and long lasting with quality movements. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
