What do You think about this site- zenreplica.com ? I haven't found anything about this site here. Is it reliable ?

Well, that place is an obvious rippoff/scam. You can do much better with the dealers here. With that said, you should have your expectations in check. That full rose gold watch is a nice watch, but if you wear it every day the gold will wear through. You should probably pick up a nice steel watch to wear every day and pick up that Rose Gold one for special occasions.

Just my opinion but I've got a really nice day-date in RG and I leave it in a drawer most of the time because noone would believe I wear a $20K watch everyday, and I want to keep the plating in good shape for the good occasions to wear it.

Just my opinion.

I am lucky enough that there is a small independent "full service watch repair" place at the local grocery store. An older chinese woman runs it and it's basically a few display cases with bands and straps and all her tools are right there on benches. She's been there for about five years now. Every time I bring in a rep she says the same thing - "Beautiful Watch". When she is done doing whatever it is I need she says "real one is easier to do." And that's it.

I don't mind taking my reps there because I'm buying groceries anyway and it's a whopping $7.00 to have her re size the band. I have some cheap tools to do this myself but I always seem to scratch something. She never scratches anything, and it takes her all of 30 seconds.

She advertises movement repairs too, and I may take her up on that soon. That would be the real test.

I guess the point is go with what looks right. As long as you stay out of an AD, you will be fine. What does someone at a kiosk care? $10 is $10 right?! Who cares if its the usual Fossil or your UPO.

Question. I'm newb to this owning one replica Daytona in the past, which got stolen. I'm stiill upset about that one as my buddy haas a genuine and you could't tell them apart. I love this site with all the great info which I really appreciate but how do I know this site isn't just a big scam? No offense meant but how do I know even this thread isn't fAke? How did you guys know this is the real deal. Sorry to ask but it does occur to one reading this thread without being a longtime member that I could be being setup. Thanks guys and again no offense meant.

Well, I can tell you that I ran into the first version of this site back in, must have been 2004, and it saved my a** from spending too much on a scam site. The reps I bought back then from the trusted dealers on this board have served me well until now. I recently rejoined here to get some new watches and many of the same dealers that were trusted 5 years ago are still around. Many of the same people are still posting here.

Secondly, if this whole site is one big scam I am pretty impressed. There are thousands of members here, posting everything from how to take apart, upgrade, and service your watches to pictures of their hometowns, jokes, etc. This is truly a community dedicated to enjoying replicas. Everyone here could care less if you think its a scam or not. The fact that you or other people stumble on here and realize they've been duped or almost duped is pure coincidence. I can san that I've bought about 10 reps or so from sellers here and I have never felt I was shafted on a transaction.

It's been a long time since I've posted - probably a few years. It's good to be back.
