myaz 3 Posted August 23, 2012 $25 Rolex Presidential as a gag gift for a brother bought in Progreso, a mexican border town you can walk across from the US and get amoxicillin and other stuff without a prescription. I thought that quartz watch was as good as reps got until I found this place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DFH 0 Posted August 23, 2012 1992 - Canal Street, NYC - Rolex Explorer and Cartier Pascha... Paid $100 a piece for them, they were phenomenal and lasted me more than 8 years, and were in perfect working and cosmetic order when I sold them to a friend... Those were the days - the NIgerians in NYC with their briefcases full of Rollies!!! Everyone from Wall Street was down there on their lunch breaks, collecting watches....

onionbag 1 Posted August 23, 2012 My dad bought me this, sometime in the early '90s. A beauty I'm sure you'll agree...........no?

DeLaForce 2 Posted August 23, 2012 I don't have a pic it's buried in a box somewhere! but it was in patpong a breitling navi with fixed dials , was a shocker. But not as shocking as the entertainment that followed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balad1 0 Posted August 23, 2012 This is the first rep I purchased from TS after finding RWG. Best at the time with 7750 movement; I've worn it maybe 4 times in 2 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lapinobel 0 Posted August 23, 2012 Tag Heuer Carrera 16 Day Date, from a non-trusted dealer, because I didnt know the forum when I ordered this. It's ok-ish, and have to say the seller was both correct in communication and shipping. But I didn't know a thing about movements, quality etc, so the "swiss case" explanation pulled me over, believing this was actually made in the EU It's a pretty ok watch, especially when it comes to the casing. But the movement is simple (chrono doesn't even work) and the bracelet feels very light. Paid $125 dollar for it Think I'll sell it in a few weeks, and might order a higher quality DayDate from Wi or Toro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhounsell 0 Posted August 23, 2012 This thread made me think to go dig this out....Quartz Tag Link that I ordered when some friends were putting in an order for football (NFL) jerseys from China. Think I paid around $80 for it.......then thought "I wonder if they make better quality reps" because the football jerseys were amazing! and that is what brought me to this forum.....and finding a new addiction Planning to sell some reps soon, I wonder if anyone would want to buy this thing for a few bucks?

Crusader 0 Posted August 23, 2012 Here's my first two, crap compared to nowadays 1:1 Noob quality AAA+++, but I wore them a few times before I knew there are actually quality reps out there and I got few compliments like ''nice Rolex'' etc. The bracelets are also crap, broke 2 times on both watches, but they are fun watches, reps now with such close replication are too serious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
