Hi everyone,

new on this forum and have already found a lot of useful information. 

I came in touch with replicas while in Kuwait and while doing some research, I found this forum and thanks to the information you guys provide I did not waste my money on cheap items and decided to invest in a more reliable replicas.

I am a fan of Panerai, especially the GMT versions, and looking forward to buy one with an actual GMT working hand that I can independently set.  At this time it seems there are none  but I might be wrong since I am not educated on the replicas topic at all. 

Any advice or if any of you can point me in the right direction will be appreciated. 

Again hi to all of you. I’m glad to be here.

Hi everyone!!! I'm new on the forum... I'm from Puerto Rico, someone else from Puerto Rico ???...I read and already found a lot of useful information. I own a few gen watches, but I  suffered a robbery and I do not intend to spend money on original watch, so I am interested in the replicas, good replicas and I have read that there are good suppliers. Any particular recommendation. I will soon make the purchase and let you know and upload the photos. I'm interested in Rolex gmt (I lost it in robbery) and Omegas Planet Earth.

Hello, everyone. Long time lurker, now member. Interested in mechanical watches for over 10 years. More and more interested in getting a nice rep before making up my mind about the real mccoy. But maybe reps will be my future passion. Who knows. Happy to be aboard.

Hey guys! Also a long time lurker and now member! I've got a couple of gen watches but I'm quite keen to explore what the reps can offer - especially for my daily drivers who have to withstand a lot of wear.

Hi folks. I’m new to the forum. I have some genuine watches and some replicas and wear them interchangeably. The good replicas have never let me down and I’m keen to build the collection.    I didn’t know such a forum existed with a vast bank of knowledge and information on replicas. I’m intrigued to learn more.

Hi there,

I'm als new on this great forum sinds a couple of months  materfact, I also orderd two watches. One is in the shipping now, Rolex GMT 2 Jubllee band 904L So I can't wait. This is a great forum. I have had some genuine watches, and still own a couple. (Haldor Abissi and Tissot T touch) but al cheap :( Great Hobby. Had two genuine Rolex watches, a submariner Gold Steel and a GMT. Did sold them years ago. Felt sorry for the GMT, because there rare these days. But I needed the money. Jung and lots of other important things, like a daughter Iive in the Netherlands. Greetz

Hey guys...I’m not new..just new to posting here.  I’ve been buying reps and active on other sites for probably 10 years.. what was once an interest in putting a “Rolex” on my wrist in order to look cool/rich soon became an obsession with reps themselves (factory vs factory), then modder vs modder, then I got into straps (first obtaining different ones, then modifying them, stripping the paints, dyes, etc & doing it myself, then making my own lol), soon I also had an obsession with gens, then a deep love and respect for ALL watches, now I’m into building (or attempting to build lol), I love reshaping & polishing cases and bracelets & painting/refinishing dials because I’m an artist at heart. I wish I was more comfortable with movements and taking hands on & off dials lol....I guess that’s about it. 

 

Oh yeah, I’m also WAY into checking and buying off member tto member sales from HF, RG, and RWI (? I think that’s the other site). I’ve bought dozens maybe even 100+ pieces off other members in the last decade but so far I haven’t ever sold anything...admittedly, I am typing this post because I want to access m2m sales but my post count is zero lol

I am glad i foumd this forum. Being an admirer of fine watches, we want them all. With the right knowledge this is a great hobby for those of us that can't afford an authentic AP, omega, or whatever maker that really catches your eye.

Thanks for the vast information on this site!

There's better ways of increasing your postcount. How about sharing pictures of your 100+ collection?
