yes i am indeed a noobie
i have searched a lot in the last few days and read what must be hundreds of threads, and FAQ, and "start here" guides so im a little... less clueless
i actually own two reps i bought in china town... went with the GF last week and she *needed* to buy some rep purses, so we go through a movie-like-adventure and long story short i end up in a little basement in chinatown full of every kind of rep of anything you could ever want...
i didnt know much about watches besides, rolex is expensive, james bond wears an omega in the new movies, and patek philippe makes that 1.5mil watch lol
so i picked up these two... one an omega so its not too off topic i guess hehe...
the omega seemed a little off when i looked at it, and now looking at photos of real ones the differences are pretty apparant... and the patek is a fantasy, no similar watch actually exists, but thats ok i just bought it becuase it looks pretty not becuase of whos name it has on it (well, the patek, not the omega ) plus at $120 for the pair I'm happy
also i dont want to start a war of mechanical (automatic) vs. electronic (quartz)... i just figure theres less variance in quarts movements (even cereal box watches keep time "ok" lol!) but from reading more and more about the movements they seem to be ok... i just worry becuase i would like a watch i can wear every day and not worry about knocking something out of wack...
