Bought in Beijing this week, don't think it's a noob factory but it's pretty darn good.

You are correct and accurate when you say that the Super Reps are hard to find, some fairly high quality reps are available but very limited & I had to buy a few middle of the road watches from the dealer and keep coming back to build the relationship and over time... they start pulling some really neat stuff out of the hidden drawers.. I'm not kidding myself, when I order from say TrustyTime and pay $300 for a watch, I do get a product that is worth at least that..and probably better than 75% of the watches I got here but those are for my personal amusement, not because I was in search for the holy grail of rep watches. I feel I got a really nice Carties Santos 100, very good Rolex Submariner (although clasp is not perfect) and I'm happy with the others and their flaws 'cause it's fun to enjoy that wide variety for under $1500. Cheers mate.

At the silk market in beijing, if you are savvy there are some pretty good reps, I will review the better ones on August when back at home and can take better pics. The El Toro Ulysse is awesome, just wasn't sure if the color scheme was of a gen or not but in the end I didn't care, very nice watch for weekend wear.

I was just looking at Gen Tudors at dealer in Beijing, would love a rep of the Fastrider.

Spent about half that, been negotiating hard.. Crossing fingers as I handed 12 to ems today. The Chanel is ceramic but quartz so was quite cheap and for the wife. The others were all on average 90 to 130 us a piece. All Asian movements. The best reps in the bunch are imho the Rolex sub date, omega po seamaster 50 year bond, ap royal oak. The black iwc big pilot is also pretty good, working power but sunken date.

Got a bunch of medium quality reps.. a few higher quality reps. The Omega Bond with orange rim being for my father-in-law (cheap but it's a gift). The rest are really for my collection.

This is awesome advice, thank you.

Here's my Sunday casual

As stated, bought a collection while here and thinking of doing like trusted dealers and shipping 2-3 at a time in small box by EMS to USA home. Have a gen Tissot coming back with me that is old and beaten along with 1 rep that I bought since that is allowed. I would mark as gift with 150 to 185 usd declared value for each set. You guys think this is my best bet to diversify risk? Thanks all

Curious here too

yes, the date wheel is definetely better on the other version (V1), closer to dial due to not having the additional internals to power the reserve dial. I still like the functionality of the Dial. The color of the date wheel though, maybe I can swap to white.... if I get brave.

U-boat

Same as by-tor .. To my eyes anyways, no expert here but I love this ceramic sub with blue night effects!

paid about $130 us dollars, it was purchased with 2 others so not 100% sure but that is the amount if all 3 were equal price. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
