It would be good to know what kind of watch you are looking for...Diver, Dresswatch, Aviator...Chrono, GMT, Complication...handwound, automatic, quarz...
There are a lot of German watches that'll fit your budgets.
But which one will fit your needs?

I purchased this little beauty last week from a member of RWI.
He offered the watch as new and as far as I can see it is.
I´m absolutely astonished about its overall qualitiy!!
I mean...for less than 100€ I didn´t expect that much...but what I got is amazing!!
Its even waterproof out of the box
And compared to my "16610 superrep" with TC case and case back I can´t see any difference on the case nor the caseback
I guess this one will be a keeper ...and...btw...I don´t mind the slow beat 21j movement as long as it keeps and tells the time
Thank you all for your thoughts about my 16610.
On Saturday I´m going to meet Domi and hopefully he is able to fix the movement problem in a second
For now I´m trying to find some parts...
TC dial & hands out of stock...any other options?
TC 93250 V2 already ordered
Gen inlay (still don´t know if it fits into a wm9 bezel without modification?!?)
Well..I love my avatar too
Saturday is the day I´m going to meet Domi in person and hopefully he´s able to fix the problem on my 16610 in seconds
And a second good thing is the latest status of my first watch from Andrew :
2013-04-09 08:14:00
UNITED KINGDOM O22634
Arrival at Delivery Office
Should be with me latest next week I guess...maybe end of this week
...that sounds promissing to me
A TC 93250 is already on my shopping list.
Does the WM9 bezel take a gen insert without any modification?
As far as i know Domi does no lume jobs, so I guess I have to get another dial and hands too.
So Clark will be good?
Will they (Clark hands and dial) fit to the case and movement?
I purchased this 16610 a few days ago.
The movement has some problems and will be serviced again by Domi.
But there are some other things that bother me:
The lume is pretty bad. It lasts only about 2h and then its totally gone .
The hour hand has some scratches.
The bracelet is...well...one can wear it...but it doesn't feel good.
The inlay is junk.
Here are the actual specs (according to the previous owner):
TC case, case back.
WM9 v3 bezel assembly, complete gen style
Clark crystal no LEC
TC crown and tube
Sean dial and hands
AS 3135 movement serviced by Domi.
Rep bezel insert, unknow source
I don't know about the case. Is it worth to add some extra money to get a superb rep or shall I just wear it like it is as a beater?

...but not so new to reps anymore
Hi
I´m a watch addict since several years now and am a so called "flipper".
I always buy and sell and buy and sell and I´m always on the hunt for "the collection".
I had some very nice watches which seemed to be, at least, the start of my exit collection...but (there is always a but )...there are some watches that I´ll never own as a gen since they are simply to expensive for me .
I tried with hommage watches like Steinhart, Davosa and else...no way...they look similar but at the end they are a just look-a-like and easier to spot even for a non-watch-addict.
So I asked myself...why not try to buy a replica...and...i found out...without even a little knowledge I don´t have to send my money somewhere...it´s easier to throw it into the bin...
So with that "knowledge" I started to read and learn and read and learn...(to be continued)...
Meanwhile I managed to buy a regmariner LV which is pretty nice for the money and a really good start I guess.
I too bought a "16610 Superrep" but this one needs some love since the mvmnt has some trouble.
Good thing for me is that I live only a few km from where Domi is located and the previous owner will cover the costs.
And...I purchased three watches from Andrew (TT)...one is already on its way
http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_10&products_id=10112
since the 1675 are not in stock yet I decided to change my previous order and switched to a 16750...waiting for QC pix now...
http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_5&products_id=249
and only because I´ve read a lot about the superb out of the box qualitiy of the actual ultimate superlumed SD I had to order one
http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&products_id=9085
And...last but not least...I decided to stay with this, sort of, new hobby for a while and upgraded to platinum today
...a 16610 when one doesn't have enough reputation to buy a TC 93250 .
WU is way to difficult...I tried to pay my watches from Andrew via WU. The things they wanted and the time it should take (about 15 workdays) was way to much so we agreed to switch to paypal.
Good for this purchase but as far as I know TC only allows payment via paypal if one has enough reputation on the international boards.
Is there any other dealer who sells good bracelets, takes a payment via paypal and is able to send it to Germany without having any customs issue?
Thanks for any hint
