Joshle 0 Posted February 1, 2013 Hi, I am new in the watch world... I own a Rolex and Cartier (Gen) and am looking for more traditional watches (IWC Portuguese, Jaeger Master, PP Calatrava), basically simple movement and simple watches. As I am browsing the forum and the TD websites I see a lot of PAM and Rolex available at great prices and not that many watches like the ones I am looking for. Is there a reason for that? Is it because the movements of these watches are easier to make? Sorry for this newbie question but I am trying to know more about the Rep business as I cannot spend $10,000 every time I want to have something new on my wrist... thanks!

RichardMiami 4 Posted February 1, 2013 Like any other marketplace, the replica watch world is a business. For profit. The factories make the watches that are in demand, knowing that they can sell 1,000s. There is no profit in tooling up to make a watch that will only be bought by a few people.

Joshle 0 Posted February 1, 2013 So basically, PAM and Rolex are the best sellers and this is why there are so many, gotcha. Now I don't own any PAM as I think these are too big for my wrist, any recommendations on a smaller looking PAM? 111? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted February 1, 2013 PAM 111 V3 from Noob factory. A must for the first time PAM collector. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't like the PAMs all that much until now. It's a great piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go with the regular one, if my petite wife can pull off a 42mm watch, you'll be fine with 44mm. And because, of course, the PAM is AWESOME!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted February 1, 2013 I've been a little afraid to admit this since there are so many of them on this forum, but I really don't see the appeal of PAM watches, they look really basic....... just sayin' lol! I'll get my coat! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slaughterer 0 Posted February 1, 2013 Some people like "basic" rather than baroque. Coat off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corv99 2 Posted February 1, 2013 which Jaeger are you after? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joshle 0 Posted February 1, 2013 Well there are several - grand Master thin - Master control - Master Memovox - Master Tourbillon Basically nothing too complicated, I am looking for a nice low key watch... (despite the fact that is is a JL) Also looking for a PP Calatrava and IWC Portuguese All of these watches in Rose Gold and brown leather band. Do you have any tip?

_DC_ 218 Posted February 1, 2013 I have a PP Calatrava in Rose Gold on black strap, there aren't really any quality reps of these so it's just a 21j manual wind Asian movement, and it's actually 40mm rather than 36mm so a little large too but it's great for black tie situations or weddings lol!

Joshle 0 Posted February 1, 2013 Love it! Where did you get it? From my point of view these watches are so rare that a nice rep is very tough to find... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
