I spent the weekend identifying some unknown models and adding new ones, including a bunch of "hidden" watches and more of the quartz offerings. Including the $4 Ice Watch replicas... One of the unlisted watches I found was none other than the (in)famous Colamariner. (Note that you have to be signed it at PA in order for the link to work.) At less than $38 shipped, I'm tempted to get this piece of replica history. lol With these additions the list is now over 700 items big. I still need help identifying the remaining unknowns, so let me know if you know what brand they are.

Pretend you're an olympic athlete and get lots of groupies?

I'm sure I saw a banner advertising replica medals a couple of days ago, I thought it was Price Angels but now I can't find it again. They are available on iOffer though: http://www.ioffer.com/i/london-olympic-2012-souvenir-medals-high-quality-repli-518013572

Very nice restoration and good pictures of the process. Why is there one part of the movement that still looks black and dirty? Everything else looks so shiny and nice.

Price Angels sell a lot of cheap chinese gadgets, including watches. A lot of those watches are replicas, but unfortunately they don't list the brand and even go as far as to mask the logos on the watches. Presumably to avoid the wrath of the brands... So it's hard to get an overview of what they have to offer. So I decided to code a small app using Google docs to scrape the PA site and make a comprehensive list of all their reps. It's a bit tricky since some of the models can only be found if you are logged in and have the direct link. I focused on men's mechanical watches, but there are some lady models and quartz models in there as well. The list has over 600 watches listed at the moment and can be found at http://goo.gl/H9D4U Sorry for the ugly layout, but there's not much you can do design-wise with Google docs... There's a bunch of watches listed at the end that I haven't been able to identify, so if you know what they are please feel free to send me a pm and I'll update the list. Also let me know if you have any links to "hidden" watches not already on the list or other missing models.

Is that the 45mm version on sale for $35? If so, did you get it for the same price with the rubber strap?

I have a Datejust with a 2813 clone with a datewheel just like that. No markings though. The datewheel has a small notch that fits into the plate it rests on and is held in place with a small metal washer.

The white moon watch is also available for cheap at CQOut http://www.cqout.com/item.asp?id=11043403 http://www.cqout.com/item.asp?id=3156598

I don't have time at the moment to put up a full review with pics, but I'll try and do that in a week or so. In the meantime there's an older review here: http://www.rwg.cc/to...ew-lot-of-pics/ My order was mainly a bunch of ties, which were good quality. I also ordered a hoodie (OK quality) and a watch (movement died after 24h). Main lesson learned is to not trust the colors of their pictures. The colors can be very different from reality. If I needed non-leather soft goods I would consider buying from them again.

Yes, but only a small test order to see if they would send me anything and if it would pass through customs.

DiyStorm (http://www.diystorm.es) has a huge inventory, but the quality probably varies a lot between the brands.

I would stay away from Purse Valley. Search for "Eva Knox" for more information. The soft goods guy on the board here is KB, I haven't bought anything from him but check out his reviews. I have bought from fabulousaaa.com though and would recommend them, but they are not a trusted dealer here.

Maybe this one? http://www.cqout.com/item.asp?id=14956549 Not sure about the crown on the crystal, but it's cheap enough to give it a shot I guess...

Those Rolex straps looks nice! How much are those?

Of course it's a scam. Do you really think they would sell real watches for $700?? Even if they would happen to send you something, paying $700+ for a replica is a scam as well. They are listed on the replica watch central scam list btw.

That's a nice looking watch. I like the real moonphase.

I think the giant wristwatch trend is ridiculous as well. I guess it's the same sort of compensation as with cars:

The Patrimony is a nice watch but I wouldn't call this rep accurate considering the big fat AUTOMATIC they added to the dial...

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso.

Is there any accurate dressy replica? Most focus seem to be on the big diver/chronograph style watches, not the simple understated ones like the Pateks mentioned here.
