Over the last few months I have been an avid reader of this great site. I have taken a lot so I wanted to leave back a little. In the past month I have received three different reps from three different dealer as follows: Cartier Calibre (two town rose gold) from repilcafe.net Cartier Ballon Blue from marvellousreplica.com Breitling Navitimer from Joshua Here are my reviews and photos: my favorite and most realistic look, feel, and function is the Calibre: it is an absolute gem. It was about $250, and I think it was a wonderful deal. Swiss 25 jewel movement, sapphire AV (Which is phenomenal) domed crystal is almost completely invisible, beautiful movement, and a spot on 18k rose gold overlay. I've had it three weeks, and get a compliment on it several times a day. The Ballon Blue is also a very nice rep. It has Jap auto movement, sapphire domed crystal, and looks very genuine. The only problem is that it does not have an engraved serial number. The photos from their website showed the watch offered was with a distinct serial number engraved, but this watch does not. So any close inspection by anyone with general knowledge would know it is a rep on first inspection. Other than that the watch is beautiful.. I paid around $275. The last rep I received was the Navitimer from Josh.. and it was the most disappointing.. First off the watch is a bit too small for my average sized arm. It fits but is super tight and already on it's max expansion. Further that watch, just feels fake. the engravings on the back are sharp to the touch, the metal strap in extremely ridge, the date is sunken back too much, and the watch is just not that pretty of a rep.. The most glaring defect, is when I shake it to self-wind, it has a loud "grrrrr, grrr, grr, gr" like the sound of an old washing machine. you can hear the metal rubbing against itself. I have not, and prob will never wear this watch.. again about $250.. it was supposed to have AR sapphire, but as you can see, it has a glare to it.. NO WHERE NEAR as pretty as the Calibre i got from replicafe.net. so there's my review, two great watches, one dud.. here's all three together, and one more of my favorite driving in my car..

Very nice. It's bro in Cali says hi.

I know there's a WTB section but I thought I'd ask in this area becasue this is where all the IWC folk go. I'm in need of a nice 3717 bracelet. Anyone got an extra in good shape. Tired of using me 3717 as a pocket watch

On the other hand the Sean case is a lot less forgiving of things like stem height. You can make a 2836 work in a TC v4 case, but even a 2824 is a tight squeeze in a Sean case. You really need either a 2892 or 3135 for a Sean case.

very nice!!

Thanks for sharing but.......YOU GOT RIPPED OFF!!! More than $500 in total for the 2 Cartiers? Both with cheap Asian movements. You state the Calibre has a Swiss movement but one can clearly see the cheap 21j movement through the back. Maybe the watch from Josh has a loud rotor but that's the only watch that is worth the money and has a A7750. You state the AR from the Navi is disappointing but judging from your first pic the Calibre hasn't got AR at all.....

Jawo, you have done this forum and so many other folks just getting into replica watches a great service. Thank you! I, too, started by typing in "replica" into Google. BlueFakes offers such an enticing story: triple wrapped! ... 440 stainless ... and on and on! And all at only $800. I waddled around in these sites, almost all of those you list, for months. But something didn't 'smell' right. I kept looking and looking .and finally found RWG. When I found RWG and listened in to the discussion, I knew I had found the motherload and had been saved!! Hallelujah! Thank goodness for RWG!
