RevBob 0 Posted September 25, 2010 Hello all; Just registered and look forweard to some informational reading. I am a Methodist pastor on Long Island, NY. Right now I am laid up with a ruptured disc in my back. To pass time until my surgery date I have been net surfing. I have been a watch affecionado for about 10 years, particularly drawn to Omegas. I have owned an Omega Seamaster pro 300 and Seamaster 120 in the past. I currently own an Omega Speedmaster, Omega Constelation pie pan dial, and Oris Miles jazz day / date. All authentic pieces I have also had Omega pro 300 and Rolex day/date replicas a number of years ago which were terrible in quality. Whilst browsing I hit a few of the newer replica sites. The pictures looked really nice (hope the watches are as nice). I took a leap and ordered an Omega DeVille and my old favorite, Seamaster 300 classic from different sites. I'm awaiting delivery (one is shipping from China, I know). Neither watch was expensive, in fact the Seamaster was extremely inexpensive. So, I joined this site as a result of my current resurgent interest in watches. I am hoping the quality for the reps has improved over what it was 10 years ago, but if not, I haven't thrown done much money. If my recent buys are duds, perhaps this forum will provide some guidance for future purchases. Thanks. RevBob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted September 25, 2010 Welcome to the Forum, Reverend! First - most of rthe sites on the net are scammers, so, to avoid loss of the money, please, stick to our Trusted Dealers List, that you can find here: http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...hp?showtopic=60 Watches you ordered, will definitely come (if they'll come!) from China. But I'd be very surprised, if you'd get anything decent. You can search, what our dealers offer, there's plenty of really good watches: http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...hp?showforum=75 http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...hp?showforum=73 http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...hp?showforum=77 http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...p?showforum=160 My personal preferences - Mary and Robert, bought many watches from both, very pleased. But all dealers on our list are great, so, search, ask questions, we're here to help. Good luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted September 25, 2010 Welcome to the board Rev, hope your back get's better soon. By the way, section 8 mightn't be your cup of tea... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 996 Posted September 25, 2010 Welcome Reverend glad to have you on board. looks like some 1st hand insight coming up in the eternal debate threads Your point of view will be valued I'm sure. You may wish to stay out of section 8 tho sir, just trust me on that one. You and sfa have a bit to talk about, he lives in your neck of the woods and is about to undergo a spinal fusion, falling out of an APC that swerves to miss an Iraqi family will do that to you. Regards, Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyB 0 Posted September 25, 2010 Welcome, Reverend! Be prepared, we are a bit more 'free' here than other sites. And Section 8 is not for the feint of heart, though I suspect it has aided Viagra sales numbers. We get into some pretty good debates as well, there have been a few religious ones of late, damn heathens. Vulgarities are not only allowed, but encouraged by some of us in all sections, and at least one of us says we're all thieves for buying replica watches. You might consider changing your board name to 'Friar Tuck' if you wind up liking the place! Enjoy!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Col. Welcome Rev...I too am a noob. I also ordered a couple of watches before finding this board, but like you, am not out much. You might know that I ordered right before a three day holiday that China is having. That much more delay. Once I read the information regarding trusted dealers, I ordered a watch from www.timeshops.net. I could see a big differance in his site as opposed to the site that I originally ordered from. My original order was with Kikwatches.com, which is actually overwatches.com. I checked out a number of sites and discovered that all the pictures of watches were exactly the same. I have not received any as of yet, but I got good notices from timeshops and they responded to an email of mine right away. I have also corresponded with overwatches, but I am concerned what I may get if I get anything at all. I have read that they will send whatever they have if they don't have what you ordered in stock. Live and learn. I will follow up once I get my watches (keeping my fingers crossed!). You will learn SO much from this forum...I know that I have. Good luck! I have sent up a prayer for you as I have certainly had my own health issues to deal with. Getting old ain't for wimps! God Bless! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevBob 0 Posted September 25, 2010 Well thank you Tinstar. I appreciate your prayer. Coincidentally one of the watches I ordered was from Timeshops. The price was very cheap (88.00 usd with shipping), so we shall see. I have already browsed through some of the dealer links and am fighting temtation to buy "just one more". In the meantime I look forward to chatting with you and the other good folks who welcomed me so cordially. Blessings; RevBob Welcome Reverend glad to have you on board.looks like some 1st hand insight coming up in the eternal debate threads Your point of view will be valued I'm sure.

Tinstar 0 Posted September 26, 2010 Welcome from Sweden! You're welcome RevBob. I know what you mean about the "just one more thing"! I have bought more watches this month alone than I have in my WHOLE life! I have hit my watch quota for the month, but the thing of it is...NEXT MONTH IS ALMOST HERE! Maybe you should say a prayer for me...I think that I am addicted! : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
