Ipcress

Most definitely agree, tho' for me it goes further than 'much more fun'. We have been bombarded with fakery and replicas in a multitude of almost unimaginable ways and means, so in my book a Rep. watch of quality if its one thing its 'touche' in the eye to those fakers. Searching and trying to decide now ...

GOOD MORNING IN THE FIRST Instant I would like to thank people who took the time and trouble to reply to my post including those thinking they'd posted clever ones...one in particular and will get there later(so much to learn, LOL!). And okay, I think I'm beginning to understand what this site is about now which is more like a private online Gentlemans Club for Horologists rather than a sales corner pitch for vendors and any sidekicks. Consequently I'm warming to it and will stay a bit longer if I may, and this is because of my gen. interest in watches since knee high, which wained with time due to priorities blah blah, but has now returned. Likewise Reps. - but not necessarily for the obvious reasons ie I'd like a 'rea Wolex' but can't afford one?! In fact I was tempted to walk into the dealer and get the Milgauss I was so enamoured with but something stopped me and it wasn't so much the money and what else I could do with it, it was something far far more important. And that's where I get to one of the comments posted here...the so clued-up 'gent' who checks out peoples 'interests' and spouts forth to the world and his dog about that which he knows and appreciates so little - if indeed anything at all. Before I go on here, I will be ordering today but you guys have presented me with a slight problem in that having overcome my initial skeptisisms about the watches and vendors, there are just so many nice pieces I'd like and choosing just one as a tryout will be hard. Buy hey, life is full of major decisions like this so I'll just have to ride it I suppose... And that should answer any 'troll' accusations I think. Anyhow, my 'interests' do extend beyond watches, gen and Reps. and no I don't mean the golf course and birds either, but instead to matters which I do indeed outline in 'interests' as highlighted by a smarta45e or two here, I just thought a bit of honesty and sincerity to open an account with would be good, and seeing as I was looking for top Reps. for a very specific reason to do with my 'interests', well why not post it. As some my begin to pick up on I like to get to the nub ASAP and spare the timewasting and wasters, this goes for most things, Reps and 'interests' alike. And that's where the two meet as never in the history of the modern world have so many people been so fooled by so few. If you need truth then follow the evidence and it will take you there - see Dr Judy Wood for that, but please don't come screaming for mummy if you cannot handle the truth she exposes and wish to revert to the nevernever lala land of OfficialDum, because that's where most people live on those 'interests'. Now we get to my Rep. watch or watches depending upon how the first one goes. My Rep. will be 'A Special One' that will have added lettering on the dial and/or rear but I need to find someone to do that for me. That's not easy as I'd like it in red and just where the Rolex 'reds' have their red lettering, but hopefully I can source a skilled watchman to do that, maybe here, who knows. Now, hopefully you all will be much aware of the GeoPolitical situation between the major world powers as that's what is helping shape your lives as much as mine. The thing is I don't much care for it, and especially not after 9/11 which reaches further and wider into our lives than anybody could possibly imagine. And even if you're thinking 'well, it was an inside job we ALL know that, they blew them up, didn't they but so what?'..... well no, not so what. That was fake too, or rather what I should say that was 'faked' and in more ways than you'll ever know and understand, unless you go seek out Judy's work, study it hard and take time to piece it together. Normally it will take people months if not years as it did me so count yourselves lucky I'm giving you direction to short cut that. Back to the GeoPolitical wars going on around us, well they've been upped pretty much everywhere but this post is long enough already so we'll leave that, tho' leaving just a final thought on it and my Rep. watch (that's if anybody is going to be willing to sell me one now of course..?!) - if there was 9/11 as per the Official Report and accepted by all Western Goverments complete with pernicious legislation, invasions and wars all over the place - then there ARE no Reps. they likewise are as good as 9/11 Official Fact Books are, and they can't have it both ways. Food for thought I hope - feel free to shout and holler, but only after researching properly, please. Now I did say I was ordering today so I must get on and do it. It must be Top Spec, have Swiss ETA, good glass etc, which might rule out the Milgauss now as someone has posted in reply (thank you) that the green glass doesn't cut the mustard. This is a good site very much like it, well designed, nicely laid out and it serves a good purpose as an online Gentlemans Horologists / Enthusiasts / Hobbyists Club offering great advice, tips, links etc and a bit of fun along the way too. Have a nice day!

Is that a fact, in which case I'll stick around a bit longer then. Thanks for your thoughts. Kind Rgds

More than very nice - thanks for showing. BTW, who's 'Toro'..? Kind Rgds

Okay, thanks for your advice. Kind Rgds.

Hmm, looks very nice. Thanks for your help. Kind Rgds

Respect is earned and not given free for irrelevant waffle. Thank you for your reply. Kind Rgds

Who is 'OP'? If you're referring to 'moi' then I don't drink (really I don't) and sanity is not an exact science anyway, so who cares. I hope that helps. Thank you for your reply. Kind Rgds

Okay, thank you for that, it is appreciated. Of course I do not know what watch you have (haven't looked out your past comments yet) but I take it in good faith. Would it be too much trouble to ask you post any pictures of your watch, please? The issues preventing me buying are solely confirmation of what you see is what you get - and I'm not convinced by the videos presented and linked to in my posts that they are Reps - instead I wonder if they are Gen. That's all. Kind Rgds

Thank you for your patronising reply but I notice that yet again someone (you) attempts to explain the blazing obvious (this is a 'rep game'....duh?!) while missing the reasonable and valid points I have concern over. If you think that keen observation and refusing to be taken for a mug are 'trust issues' then that is your problem, not mine. Have a nice day. Anybody else with something positive and honest to respond with I'd be delighted to hear from you, until then - I will trust my eyes and instincts as they never let me down. Kind Rgds

What on earth are you talking about?! Yet more misinformation that attempts to distract from the topic in question. Please don't bother with responses like that they are pointless. Kind Rgds

Right. So what I've established in less than 24hrs on this marvellous website is that some of the best and recommended Rep. Watch Sites & Sellers who comment and effectively advertise here are playing games. Make no mistake, I would very much like a top quality Rep. Rolex and am prepared to pay for it too in the proper sense, but what I am not prepared to do is to be hoodwinked. All I am trying to establish here from anybody including the obvious sellers and any so-called self-proclaiming 'independent' buyers and recommenders, is that the watches I'm interested in are GENUINE REPS OF THE QUALITY IN THE VIDEOS I LINK TO AGAIN HERE : p-cls.com/rlm00008-milguass-green-sapphire-swiss-283631-p-12835.html ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_237&products_id=10003&zenid=2cb18314cc62e39839ef647d052b1aa6 Please stop taking 'us Westerners' ALL for complete fools, will you, and just fess up - are the watches in these videos REAL REPS or are they in fact the genuine Rolex 'things'?! Quite simple. So, who's up for a bit of honesty and making a clean and good sale - and before anybody replies, please read my posting and think carefully beforehand because the one thing that will prevent me buying is lack of honesty, yes - even in the Rep. business it requires honesty, okay. Likewise, before any smart a45es respond 'well, get a gen, then' - that's not the point and not what is required for the purpose I intend, which is my business, not yours. Yes, I appreciate this is not a sales site but raising that also avoids the issues that I raise. No offence intended to anybody who is genuinely being, well ...perfectly upfront and straightforward... After all, that's all I'm doing too - being honest and straightforward and hoping to find a like-minded straightforward Rep. Dealer. I hope that is now clear. Kind Rgds

Thanks for that & Good Morning to you. Okay on Perfect Clones and thank you for your recommendation. But how do you explain them having the same video of the Milgauss that I'd like as the video on TrustyWatches? Please see links to above. They both there own company logos across the video - which appears to be exactly the same video of the same watch. It doesn't inspire confidence. Kind Rgds

Dear Dr Rolex, Thank you for your reply which was so prompt too. Yes, I very much would like either the Milgauss or the DeepSea. But what I asked is to see the pictures, any pictures of your Milgauss that you ordered. And with reference to my initial query, the videos on PC and TT for the Milgauss are identical are they not? Or have I made a mistake. Please take a look : p-cls.com/rlm00008-milguass-green-sapphire-swiss-283631-p-12835.html ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_237&products_id=10003&zenid=2cb18314cc62e39839ef647d052b1aa6 In which case who is copying who's videos or are they all the same company and same company representatives? Kind Rgds

What are your findings on the ETA 2836 black dial 39.5 mm you ordered from Andrew? Would you kindly post some pictures, please. If Andrew is the chap from TrustyWatches, I posted a query about the Milgauss here yesterday. Perhaps you can evaluate it and the whole situation for me by showing pictures and a report of your Milgauss that you ordered and most probably have received by now? Kind Rgds

Hi there and thank you for your reply. It is however focused on 'green glass' which is not the point I am making, forgive me. Instead it is all to do with authenticity. Those are two reputedly good rep companies - different companies, Perfect Clones and Trusty Watches - who are showing the same video of the same watch. I thought they were different companies and in which case how can they be advertising with company logo banners the same watch on the same video? This doesn't fill me with confidence ordering a Milgauss from either of them, or any watch come to that. Or have I missed something? Anybody...

Hi, I am looking at getting a top quality Rep. Milgauss or DeepSea and have come across two great looking companies. However, their videos of the particular Milgauss I'd like look very similar to me, one is Swiss ETA. Can somebody advise me please if this is correct and 'normal', the sharing of videos in such circumstances, if indeed this is what has happened here? Or perhaps I'm wrong, it has been known on occasions. I understand that I cannot post links at the moment, so as best as I can do before Crew can assist possibly, are as follows : p-cls.com/rlm00008-milguass-green-sapphire-swiss-283631-p-12835.html ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_237&products_id=10003&zenid=2cb18314cc62e39839ef647d052b1aa6 I do not want to cause any issues anywhere but would just like clarification. Kind Rgds

Hi there, 1st post to this amazing and most interesting site. Now there appear to be a lot of clued-up and knowledgable people here, I shy away from using the term 'experts' ..but that's just for personal reasons, and I'm hoping a little job I need doing will be answered here. I'm about to order a Deep Sea or maybe a Millgauss from Trusty most probably, they seem to do the best rep 'rolex' for the models I'm interested in, but I need a little job doing on some lettering to the dial and wonder who can do it for me. I've seen the advice on decals etc, but really I need a process/technique AND someone honed in the art that will match it up to the 'Superlative' or other wording - just below and in RED - that is fitting and as good as it could be. So is there anyone here who can do that for me please or recommend someone.. Its not 'just no ordinary Rep watch' that I'm looking to do here....its way more than that. Thanks in advance, Kind Rgds
