Silverspeed 10 Posted April 9, 2010 @Silverspeed, I do like that strap on your 312, can I ask if it's 24>22 tapered and where you purchased it? Yes it's tapered from 24 to 22mm. I got it from www.abp-paris.com Not cheap but amazing quality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tdubt 0 Posted April 9, 2010 Its a Gen. I've only recently (last 2 weeks) become obsessed with Rep watches. Please pray for me LOL! Seriously though, amazing forum you have here. I've been lurking for about a week and have learned an enormous amount. My first reps are on their way and I'll post picks when I get them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harley357 0 Posted April 9, 2010 Invicta "Planet Ocean" for Friday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tdubt 0 Posted April 9, 2010 Well, I actually ordered 1 before I found this forum. so my hopes for it are very low. Its a Yacht Master II. Then after finding this forum I ordered 2 from timeshops.net...the one I really wanted was the perfect newbie rep...DSSD. I ordered the best one he has so I am really excited for it's arrival. Also ordered a 007 Planet Ocean from him at same time. I have high hopes for the 2 from timeshops, but I'll posts picks of all 3 and let everyone gives their feedback as well when I get them. Last 2 days i've been trying to figure which PAM to order...a clean one, or a rep with the markings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted April 9, 2010 Go sterile IMO - less/no risk of being called out and you still get the shape and 'feel' of a PAM without the added expense of paying for a few letters on the dial and a bit of engraving Order a homage from getat (his section of the forum is here: http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...mp;s=&f=68) and you can specify a superlumed dial, what strap and buckle you want, whether you want a PVD movement or different colour hands... I fear you may well be disappointed with the YMII, though, as I don't think a decent rep of it exists! Still, we'll cross our fingers... Hope you didn't spend too much on it!!

tdubt 0 Posted April 9, 2010 When wearing a sterile and someone asks about your fine watch...what do you say? Its a custom made watch designed after the look of a Panerai? Yes superlume sterile was exactly what i was looking at...i better get one on the way... i paid 190 for the YMII. in the world of scam artist reps its not a bad price. in the world of people here who know what they are doing...i'm expecting it to be a $190 lesson learned.

Member X 91 Posted April 9, 2010 $190 isn't the worst it could have been, you're right - someone on here posted the other day that they got scammed for over $2k for a cheap piece of junk... Still, live and learn and all that! lol You've found this place now so you should be fine for the future re: the point about what you say when someone asks about your watch... Generally 'the public' will never notice your watch so you don't have to worry about them. I think I've only once had someone stare at my watch! If you have colleagues and acquaintances to impress/consider then it's a different ball game. There's lots to consider, such as whether you're wearing a watch completely out of your price range (the blue smurf rolex that's about $18k and solid white gold, as an example lol); whether you have a collection that would mean you must have about $100k's worth if they were all genuine and you rotated them regularly; whether your bosses will think that they're paying you too much; whether your colleagues will think less of you if you reveal you wear replicas or if they know enough to know they're replicas; etc etc... Sterile and homages are a comfortable way to get a good looking watch at a reasonable price, with none of the risks of being called out or sending out the wrong 'message' if someone notices a rep of whatever quality - and if someone is keen to know more, you can just say "It's something I had made up by a guy I know..." and leave it at that If they're still keen to know more and you think they may be sound of character, you can tell them more about the hobby!

Pix 0 Posted April 9, 2010 A project is born : my new Navi L.E. with FineDD's AR coating, gen Valjoux 7750 and gen Breitling rotor. Not looking for the perfect clone (SIC) but for an accurate, reliable and credible watch. Missing : looking for a standard Breitling caseback (as the L.E. one has spelling mistakes...) Blue and burgundy, I believe the match is pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
