Who is Ryan. Sorry for the noob Question. 

Hi guys,

Was just wondering if someone could kindly point me in the direction of a trader on here who sells or can acquire Graham Reps?

Made the enquiry with a few but they cant seem to get their hands on them. 

Looking for something similar to this or their motorsport range.

Sorry to dig up an old post but I purchased the 43mm day/date from watch international and absolutely love the watch. Was wondering if there has been a revised version with proper silver screws in the back (to replace the blue ones) and also the correct 'G' for the logo

Thanks 'offshore' and 'whoever'. Great reading about your adventure.

Whats the best way to try to pick something decent up or a 'good rep' at these markets? Is it just down to some good old fashion homework on the watch model that I want to buy etc?

Hey all,

I'll be travelling to China (Guangzhou & Shenzhen) for work in March and was wondering if someone could kindly tell me where the famous watch markets are? Would you love to check it all out.

I remember reading somewhere on these forums that these markets have hundreds of stores.

Thanks!

thanks guys. I thought they could not replicate the monaco properly. Must be a quartz then.

Hi guys,

I have been looking for to purchase a Gen Tag Monaco for the past few weeks as there does not appear to be any reps which come close to the Gen.

I found this example on Ebay and was wondering if you guys/gals could kindly tell me if you think this is a Gen item or a rep. I have emailed the seller asking if he/she has original purchase docs etc and awaiting a reply.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Guys I know this is an older thread, however I REALLY like this watch and want to purchase it. This will be my first rep, and I’m still a little nervous about the whole rep world buying process. Is Mary the only dealer with this quality rep or do all the dealers get the same reps from the same factory? Also what is her site and is she still a trusted dealer I was not able to find her name in trusted dealer area.

After doing some more research I located another thread (newer 2011) with the same watch from Joshua. So I know Mary is not the only dealer with is rep. I also found things to look for during QC of the watch.

So I would like to update my questiion with a new one. Being a new at this is there a trusted dealer easier to deal with over others; and yes i know all the trusted dealers are good but its so many things that can go wrong and I just want it to be right if I will shell out $400

This watch was my first rep purchase and I went through Mary in securing it after doing some research on these forums. Great communication and answered all my questions. Did not look at the other vendors, in terms of pricing I would assume they would all be closely priced.

On another note, I wear the watch quite often and the bracelet is all scratched, could someone kindly recommend where I could take/send the watch to be polished, movement serviced and the blue screws replaced to silver ones and proper/better 'tag heuer' logo inserted?

Would anyone know if there is a good rep of this Monaco then?

Here are some QC pics that I recently received....

Received some QC pics of one example from a vendor on here and the rep was quite off from the genuine:

-Red hand on subdial

-crown looked to be different

-The 'Tag Heuer' logo imprint was incorrect on the digital side

Hi guys,

2012 is just around the corner so am looking for a new daily watch!

Was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of sourcing a good rep of the Tag Heuer Monaco Sixty Nine. Has anyone purchased a rep of this watch before? Any flaws in comparison to the genuine etc. Do the reps have the deployment clasp like that of the genuine? If not, where could I source the genuine strap+deployment clasp.

The gen watch uses a quartz movement so I guess this Monaco would be fairly easy to replicate?

Hey there,

I have been following and reading these forums for a few months now, pretty much since after I picked up my first rep watch a Tag Carrera Day/Date.

I'm now looking for another watch to add to the collection. The IWC 3717 caught my eye, I love the styling and design of the watch and after reading some threads and seeing pictures of what other members here have posted, I'm sold!

I have been in touch with 'Watch International' Mary regarding sourcing the watch as that was who I dealt with in securing the Tag. She has sent across some QC pics, could you guys kindly have a look and let me know if it all checks out?

Also would like to do the 'usual' mods. there have been a few names mentioned in some of the threads I have read but could you guys indicate how much it would cost to have these parts assembled/added to the watch?

Taka AR

Day/Date Wheels

Service

Perhaps Genuine dial

Kevlar Strap with deployment clasp

On with the pictures, IWC 3717 with A7750.

Thanks!

Great thread, I'm new to rep watch game and have been admiring the IWC 3717. About to pull the trigger and purchase one through watch international 'Mary', and do the mods as mentioned in this thread. However, where/who on the forum can service the watch?

Can I ask, where can I source the IWC leather strap with deployment buckle, is this a gen part only?

Thanks

Hi guys,

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but have recently joined wanting to know more about rep watches. I'm quite keen on ordering my first rep watch and really love the way this watch looks. Who would be the best dealer/trader to buy this watch through? I have read the survey thread and hontwatch seems to have pretty good feedback?
