Flakmonkey 0 Posted August 17, 2014 Im fairly new to replica watches, in fact these are my first. Ive just purchased a work friends entire replica collection, he has been in the hobby for 2 years but has moved to genuine watches. I thought it would give me a had start on my new hobby I picked the lot up for £200, my question is was it worth it, are any of these considered good reps? I have very little information on any of them, the collection was brought as seen. I know one of them is called an "lmpo", and the octagon shaped one is a v3, the rest I haven't a clue! They all work though, all either manual wind or auto, no quartz. The pics, (apologies for quality, just quick phone snaps): Did I get ripped off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

k3rm87 181 Posted August 17, 2014 Bloody hell mate, you got the bargain of the century! That AP in itself.. woowAAA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flakmonkey 0 Posted August 17, 2014 Some of them do have quite a lot of wear and tear, the leather straps need replacing I think and the omega ones are scratched to hell in places. I did think I got a good deal to be honest, I looked on a site my friend pointed me towards and they all seem to be $250+, except the one which it said was like $500+ which I think was a bit of bs.

Flakmonkey 0 Posted August 17, 2014 Lol, I don't think he won the lottery but I didn't ask. +as far as I know they were just brought online over the space of a couple of years, he would always turn up at work wearing something new. He does have family in the Philippines, I think some may have been brought back when he went to visit. The Web site he showed me was http://www.pure-time.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,510 Posted August 17, 2014 Yep, that's Angus's site, a trusted dealer on other replica forums Anyway, to get the real values of the watches you should know what movements they have inside. An asian Eta clone is a thing, a cheap DG2813 is a different story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted August 17, 2014 Yeah as everyone said so far it was a really good price! If you want to sell any of them on I want them all lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flakmonkey 0 Posted August 17, 2014 Anyway, to get the real values of the watches you should know what movements they have inside. An asian Eta clone is a thing, a cheap DG2813 is a different story. Sadly not sure on the movements, apparently though the chronograph one has a genuine breitling rotor on it (he said it was quieter than the original)+ the breitling with the blue seconds hand has a genuine strap apparently. To be honest, as far as value I'm not too fussed, as long as I've not been screwed I'm happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,510 Posted August 17, 2014 An easy way to get the movement inside is to install the free version of the Clock Tuner app on your smartphone, not 100% sure about the free one but it should tell you if the watches are beating at 21600BPH or at 28800BPH. In the second case they're most probably ETA clones and so good ones! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genius 281 Posted August 17, 2014 You got a Bargain - I would give your mate a big drink ! I think you owe him a few! The gen strap is probably worth the full £200 everything else you got is a bonus Anne a big one at that. Do some reading on the forum and you well realise how Good a deal you actually got!

Flakmonkey 0 Posted August 17, 2014 This is a pic my friend emailed me of the inside of that breitling chronograph that supposedly has a genuine rotor: I might have a look on ebay for some caseback tools to open up the rest and see whats inside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flakmonkey 0 Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Even if they all would have low beat movements you got a great deal for what you paid. Well I've installed the clock tuner app, had to pay to get it to show the beat. But tested each one, results were: All 28800 except the 2 panerai ones that were 21600 From this I take it that 28800 is "good" high beat and the 2 panerai ones (21600) are the not so good low beat.

norrie 1 Posted August 17, 2014 That's about $2500 worth of reps. Something doesn't add up. Stolen goods or does someone have a meth problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flakmonkey 0 Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Well I could ask him if he has a meth problem, but he's my boss, or at least higher up the chain than me so probably wouldn't take it well +There's no way he stole them, just not that sort of guy, and I sure as hell didn't so I think we are good on that front He brought himself a genuine Oris a few weeks back, since then he has lost interest in replicas from what I gathered.
