Yep, I paid 1300, but its 2006 with papers and a service dated Oct 2011 with Cartier. I reckon I can get 1500 easy for it x

For those who don't know who that is on my wallpaper its Van der Vaart and Gareth Bale. Tottenham Hotspur football players (the real football.. not the American attempt at creating a sport) < WUM

It seems I completely missed this forum and didn't introduce myself.

I think I am relatively young (to the rest of the forum) but have a huge fascination with watches and I have some gens myself (some of you may have seen them already as I posted photos). Looking into buying a rep in the future, but i'll see!

Anyway,

Hi!

My watch is 20 years old, so I presume it should glow?

Trust me, I'm 18 and have a gen Submariner blue and gold and a Tank francaise full size in steel and the same one in bi-metal.

I'm not an idiot, I just want to see what the difference is between a rep and a real one and considering I am on this forum, surrounded by them, I have become interested in buying one.

Should my sub glow in the dark? i've seen photos of peoples that do... i'm yet to test mine, but should it?

P.S. its a sub blue and gold from 1992

haha good share!

Been looking at these, they look awesome... let us know first hand what they're like and does anyone have a gen they can post pics of?

Ninja - I realise that, I have a box / case (with glass and cushions) aswell as a winder.

(bear in mind im working with gens) the stands should be fine and look nice with one or two of the watches positioned there constantly and changed around every day or so.

Did you search? I'm one of the few who post on the topic.

Google glass display acrylic display check user findking on eBay

So far i think this is the best variety

Yep, I checked google and ebay. Ebay were requesting crazy prices.

I'll check out the site you gave.

Thanks!

I would like to have my watches on stands like that of a dealer. Where are they purchased?

Alex

exposed movement, it looks horrible in that 'rep' but i can imagine a good one would look nice.

I'll look for soemthing else then! Thanks guys

This is a good price, since they're over $4k new. If you get tired of it, I would be happy to buy it for what you paid.

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind. I think I will try and sell it to dealers in London first for around £1,600 just to see what offers I get.

I love this watch, but the quality of that rep looks rubbish.. anyone know where I can get a better quality one?

Alex

Ah, so i'm not running a risk buying reps... the thing is, I don't want a watch that people will feel (the weight especially) and know its a rep!

Even second hand value? I paid 1300..

How about in the uk? When searching, its been hard to get one for under £2000, especially in this size..

Hi guys,

Just wondering, is the weight of the replica watches usually similar to the originals?

I have bought one before (offline..) and it's weighed 1/4 of the genuines weight.

I bought this, genuine Cartier Tank Francaise.

Just want to see what you think and how much its worth. Second hand with papers, box etc.

What do you reckon?

btw, I have just started collecting watches, looking into getting a rep after this!
