scuzza 0 Posted August 26, 2013 Hi Firstly my apologies if what i'm about to ask seems naive or has been asked millions of times. I have returned from my holiday in Turkey and been bombarded with street salesmen selling 'snide' poor replicas of prestige watches. I didn't bite but it did make me think, I have a genuine Tag and is still going strong after 15 years, sadly I cant now afdford the Rolex i want so to have a 'looky likey' is the next best thing. My question is as follows; i would like a replica rolex, probably explorer or daytona, is there a generally recognised best source to get this from ? I'm happy to pay what it takes (to a point) so quality of replica and workings is the most important thing. Any guidance would be much appreciated. many thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scuzza 0 Posted August 26, 2013 so, is a good trusted dealer a good trusted dealer, or do they tend to be good dealers for specific makes ie John is great for rolex but his tags melt in the sun, but pete has great Tags but spells Rolex wrong :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onionbag 1 Posted August 26, 2013 Hello and welcome. so, is a good trusted dealer a good trusted dealer, or do they tend to be good dealers for specific makes ie John is great for rolex but his tags melt in the sun, but pete has great Tags but spells Rolex wrong :-) They all sell the same watches.

RichardMiami 4 Posted August 26, 2013 The Trusted Dealers tend to get all of their watches from the same sources. So they all are good for all brands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scuzza 0 Posted August 26, 2013 great, that's good to know, so if there is a model with a known fake floor, presumably the sellers report back to the factory and they release a new and improved model ? If this is the case is it fair to say that the older models have had more fine tuning and therefore better reps ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wriggles 12 Posted August 26, 2013 Welcome, and as Aren has already suggested you should go to the new members section and read, read, read. First to get your expectations set correctly, and second so that you can understand more of how this hobby works including the Do's and Dont's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scuzza 0 Posted August 26, 2013 honestly, my expectations are realistic, I was purely curious as the whether in the 'learned' circle there was a head and shoulders above the rest Rolex rep reseller or specific models that offer the most relistic replicas or models I should avoid.

g.man 0 Posted August 26, 2013 Explorer II is the best bang for buck you'll currently find my friend. Avoid reps of the modern Daytonas like the plague though. Most are ticking time bombs that will die prematurely. There is a tonne of info about this on these boards. Seek and ye shall find. welcome g.man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bgreg 0 Posted August 26, 2013 Welcome and good reading....as it has been stated, all trusted dealers can get the same watches. If you are interested in explorer or daytonas, Explorer II is your best option at the moment. Good luck with your research. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scuzza 0 Posted August 26, 2013 I like the white faced explorer 2, are their varations of this as prices amonst the recommended dealers seem to vary quite a bit (swiss mech aside) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scuzza 0 Posted August 27, 2013 has anybody bought the Explorer 2, that they are very pleased with and if so can recommend the seller, Ive tried a couple o nthe recommended list but either the websites are shut down or had no replies from the email contact. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scuzza 0 Posted August 27, 2013 http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_4&products_id=9418 would this be the best replica of this model money can buy ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you should look at one of BK's Rolex's. He does have the white face Explorer 2 in stock. You can not go wrong with one from BK. That's where I would spend my money.

scuzza 0 Posted August 27, 2013 How better to chose a dealer than to ask peoples experiences of them :-) As I mentioned earlier, I've attempted to contact 4 on the list without any luck. Also, it does appear that certain dealers show different stock and different models albeit they may originate from the same factory. (do othey really all come from one factory ???)

TKO 0 Posted August 27, 2013 I received an Explorer 2 from Trusty last week. I received the watch within a week of placing my order. Excellent overall service and a superb watch. I also learned that 1:1 does not mean 1:1 in all aspects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted August 27, 2013 All of the TD's have feedback as well. Patience is also required with this hobby, 24 hours at least is required for a response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
