Hi guys(and girls)=)
I made an account years ago but have not until now bought a watch.
But for 2 days ago I did my first buy, I used Kuvarsit.
I went for a GMT2 A2836 from DJF. Hope it will be good. Will throw up photos somewhere here when I get it.
The hardest part of making my first buy is deffinetly which watch to pick.
But i bet I will buy a lot more like the rest of the watch geeks here=)
Anyone have a good place to buy tools for example opening backcase and change the bracelet?

Amazon or eBay foe a starter watch repair kit

Helloooo!!!

I'm just laughing / launching myself into the giddy world of Panerai and was just about to purchase something from Perfect Clones when i stopped and wondered whether this would be a good option, can I ask any of you watch geeks to let me know? It's already a bit too much money for me at $353 so is this the best choice i could make? Love you crazy watch lovers!!

Thank you, great advice and info for me to go through.

My only question at the moment, is TC still in business as my TC sub 16610 was stolen in a burglary in Jan 2018 along with my 20 year watch collection, it broke my heart as insurance companies don't recognise rep watches, so could not replace it.

Regards.

Hi folks, I'm the new guy. :)

I'm mostly here to buy replicas. Fell in love with the all-black Daytona and hope to get me one.

Like Maurits, I live in Germany, too.

Greetings!

All mods/admin are sadists so give them a wide birth.

Don't obsess about what is NWBIG/Superrep - just buy what you like (but do your research on that model first).

Buy from Mary of MaryWatch.

Stay clear of Americans.

Ditto Canadians.

Ditto French.

Ditto Northerners.

This should see you fine!

Admin edit : Stay clear of Gingers too

It’s standard Aussie site rules; steel toe caps, hard hat, high viz and kill all gingers on the site. I think aboriginal peoples too. Although the preference there, I believe, is to hunt ‘em down on horse back! I’m sure my information is both accurate and current.

kick a ginger day was on august 20th, sorry we missed it old boy...

other ginger dates to remember are:

-hug a ginger day will be on february 22nd

-international kiss a ginger day is observed next on january 12th

-love your ginger hair day is on november 5th

-and finally, gingerfest happens every year during the first weekend of september. gingers from all over the world will make the pilgrimage to breda, netherlands for what they call roodharigendag. you can still make it to this one.  

 

the notion that gingers have souls is absolutely preposterous.
