Wow that's scary.... Hope all goes well let us know what happens..

Thanks, your .02 is a big help actually I'm just having such trouble deciding on what to get them because it has to be affordable to me(19-20 by the wedding) and has to be at least conventional?(not socks or something???lol) So any help even in the general sense is much appreciated.

lol As of now I wasn't even talking about a GTG I was just curious if anyone was close. I'm actually in the pittsburgh area myself. I just figured it'd be nice to know of a few members of the forum that were in my area. :-) If you guys are looking for a GTG maybe we can plan something what do we usually do at the GTGs? Are there any like quicky sales that go on there? lol because that would be fun :-P lol

Yea, I still need groomsmens gifts so I was looking for an extremely cheap rolex rep that I can grab 6 - 7 of lol I was hoping for like $30-$40 per rep because as stated there are going to be 6 groomsmen.... So I was looking for a cheap just working rep that I can grab 6 of.. Any thoughts? If I goto canal street I can probably do that but the problem there is I live in PA.... lol so any thoughts? Thanks RWG!!

I feel like I shouldn't participate as it's always the same watch (my only one ATM) but here's a pic anyway let me know if you get tired of seeing the watch haha:

Sweet! can't wait until i can afford it... lol

Cool don't have to worry about the 21j then.. though how bad does a slowbeat look?

Ok, I have seen a ton of reviews on this and stuff but this seems to be an updated version I haven't read about... It's 108$ on perfect clones it says it's got ETA 2813 movement and 316 steel. Is this all accurate... does anyone know? I might order this watch ASAP if that's the case... It's RLSS10010 on Perfect Clones...

Is that general of a location really a worry though? I mean what's wrong with people knowing what state?

lol Come on all these people on this forum and not one of you is from around pennsylvania US?

lol @ Demsey and chrono I found this guy... wtf... the way people are wearing their hats now adays baffles me haha..

Anyone else here from PA? Just realized I wasn't quite sure figured I'd ask around :-) EDIT: Pennsylvania of the US that is.. sorry forgot we had international people here haha

I'm still trying to get the pages by the names such as Andrew, Josh and what not ... what is Narikaa's website? I would love to order one of these beauties but I don't know how to access the page lol.. Thanks in advance...

lol Thanks for the responses toad and dropbear. I guess the other thing you're paying for is the ease of access lol If I lived in New york I could go down the Canal Street every other week and buy up a bunch but I don't and I don't live in GZ or CN or anything so I guess that's the other thing accessibility. And like you guys said in most cases they're dealing strictly with their own factory of choice.

Isn't the "Wanted to buy" section Supporters only? Now I'm planning on doing that soon (probably actually around the same time I buy the watch or of course before if we're talking about the same section haha). I'm not looking to buy the watch immediately just trying to find the best one for the money. I've got to wait a few weeks until the funds balance themselves out haha. Thanks for the tip BT. I'm also considering Eurotimez RN-SUB-001 watch it seems to be the same and I heard ET had access to the TTK one. As for BK he said he can get either ETA or 21j just (obviously) ones cheaper than the other.

Because now I'm considering Eurotimez RN-SUB-001 and can't seem to find anything on it. I'm rereading (I read it yesterday actually) your comparison for reference, toad.

Thanks toad. I've been looking around and it would seem it goes like this: Andrew and Josh's Noobmariners are sub par while TTK's was good and Eurotimez and BK have access to the same one TTK has? Right? lol I've just been trying to find something affordable ATM haha and I don't mind getting the movement replaced once in a while I guess if it's that easy (relatively) I figure I'll eventually figure out how to do it on my own for now my jeweler will do it (He's already worked on my current watch a few times without whining about it being a rep haha) That being said you are so right about the first one being nerve wracking haha that's an understatement. With limited money supply and being my first purchase I'm trying to get the best deal but also hearing all this about how with josh and andrew the people who have ordered before are getting really nice watches while the first time buyers are getting crap watches scares me too haha. I, of course, consider this to be my first purchase since this is a different platform than my original (Canal Street haha).

Ok, so I was looking on I think it's Andrew's site and found the Rolex Submariner 'Newbie' version ($98) as compared to the Submariner Upgraded ($118) I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the difference is? Also, I've read a lot about this 21J movement and am worried. Is it really that bad? What happens with it it breaks right away? I'm concerned about this fact but being a newb and also still working part time am low on funds and looking for the best deal possible.. What say you RWG? Thanks, Alex (I don't know if we're not supposed to post links here or what but I never see them so I'm avoiding posting them... The $118 one in question is ROLSUB0008((Yes I know it's green but that's just the one I'd pick if choosing between it and the $98 and finding out it has some major improvement)) and the $98 one is ROLBEG002A on andrews site. If this doesn't help PM me for links or let me know if it's ok to post them? lol

I know what you mean man I got this watch(My daytona) and started looking aroudn for more and finally found this forum. I've been obsessively reading it and posting and looking at them just anticipating when I am finally able to buy some (I'm part time now... soon to be full time at a different job hopefully) then the spree begins haha. I've finally found the thing I love collecting lol.

That's pretty comforting. I think next time I get paid I'll buy the noobmariner from here: http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...products_id=257 Seems like a good place and I haven't seen anything bad about them. Seem clean to you? (Yes I've read I just figured while I was at it I'd get a consensus haha)

The lone warrior:

Cool, thanks for that info goat. When they do seize it though just to be sure it's just an offer that you can still have it if you pay but otherwise they'll destroy it right? No like crazy cops or anything? haha EDIT: Also, goat just noticed your other post.. I'm going to PM bklm1234 now

With US Customs am I correct in saying the process is like this: They get it (1) They Seize it (2) They release it 2 - it gets to you in a few days 1: (1) They send you a letter telling you it's been seized and asking for a sum of money (19% of shipping price or something?) (2) They destroy it 1:1: (1) You send money they send you the watch wala (2) You ignore them and they destroy the package 1:2: (1) That's it here Is that basically a correct tree or is there some legal issue incurred also?

Nobody answered the 2 questions that were seeming important: Don't all the dealers just get them from these markets anyway or do they get them from their favorite factory? Also, are these watches people are paying like 100$USD for and stuff really just $30 watches from the markets?

Who are the US dealers who might have it? If their are any I'd rather not deal with customs... I've been searching about that too can't find any confirmed US stories... How are customs in the US?
