geoffwa3 0 Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Hi All Just thought I'd say hello as it's my first time on here. Watches are my achilles heel and I have spent years buying inferior replicas, in some instances well over the odds for them to then fall to bits within 12 months?? Hopefully I can glean as much information from you guys on here and get myself a much better watch for the right money next time. The last watch I purchased one was just before Christmas it is a Hublot F1 (not everyone's choice on here I gather.......) but I liked it anyway, until I caught it and the strap snapped from the case? The holes in the rubber strap that hold it to the case just ripped off the screws so it is now confined to the drawer until I can source a new strap.Can anyone help with sourcing one please, it is the black rubber one with red stitching and deployment clasp?? I will post some pictures a bit later. The guy I bought it from told me it was a much better quality replica than average and that it came from Dubai. I paid him £250 for it only having seen it from photos beforehand. Be interesting to see what people think? Geoff Images here guys, not sure how to load pictures on...... if anyone can give me a step by step guide?? http://cpw.mail.aol.com/34561-111/talktalk-5/en-gb/mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=1260217197.293&folder=Sent&partId=7&saveAs=P1240011.JPG http://cpw.mail.aol.com/34561-111/talktalk-5/en-gb/mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=1260217197.293&folder=Sent&partId=6&saveAs=P1240008.JPG http://cpw.mail.aol.com/34561-111/talktalk-5/en-gb/mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=1260217197.293&folder=Sent&partId=5&saveAs=P1240007.JPG http://cpw.mail.aol.com/34561-111/talktalk-5/en-gb/mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=1260217197.293&folder=Sent&partId=4&saveAs=P1240006.JPG Edited January 23, 2012 by geoffwa3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted January 23, 2012 Welcome to the forum, Geoff, and my only advice is - read our threads, stick to our Trusted Dealers, and you'll never pay $320 for Hublot, that cost max. $50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
