  1. Hi All, I received my 1st 2 decent reps from silix in December and just received 3 more today. I also have a terrible Sub that I picked up in Ibiza a few years ago but that shall be replaced soon enough. I am adding another 2 or 3 to my collection then I shall force myself to stop before it gets out of hand
  2. I was very nearly fooled by these sites as I am sure a lot of us here almost were. I am so glad I get obsessed with things once I get the idea in my head otherwise I would never have found this site and would probably be sporting an overpriced pice of [censored] on my wrist lol.
  3. Hi Kemit, Welcome to the board. I have found the place very useful and it has guided me to make some purchases. However the choice of what I wanted to buy was my own as I believe yours needs to be your own. If you dont know what you want have a look in a local jewelry store and see what takes your fancy then search around here to find a descent rep. Also have a quick look here for some ideas TOP 10 Under $150 From a fellow newbies observations the most popular reps tend to be Rolex Submariners, Omega Seamasters and Panerai Luminors in no particular order. Thats just my observation though. Good luck with your search. Paul
  4. Sorry, I cant believe I forgot to post the link duhhhhhhh DUH
  5. I have no doubt about that, as I siad, I am not interested particularly in the watches but for the case and strap alone that seems very cheap.
  6. Hello All, Has anybody come across this dealer before? They seem to have a mixture of extremely cheap and also fair priced reps. I am not particularly interested in the watches but even the cheaper Omega reps come with the box and for the price seems worth it. Here is a Planet Ocean (45mm) with a Rubber Strap and the "Omega Presentation Case" for
  7. Hi Andy, your avatar has just inspired me to download DOA I shall be watching it this week.
  8. Welcome from a fellow noob. You need to add the pic as an avatar in order for it to show up.
  9. I realigned the bezel after reading your review on the watch (thanks). Does anyone know where I can get a replacement though?
  10. OK, here is my first serious rep. It was $225 from silix. I have managed to scratch the Bezel insert (a week after I got it) so I shall be replacing that as soon as I find out where to get one from (any ideas) Other than that I am over the moon with it. It was running about a minute and a half a day fast when I got it but I have managed to get that down to about 5 seconds a day (with a lot of patience) Anyway, enough of me, here are the pics. Cheers Paul
  11. I am just about to take some photos so they shall be in the Omega section in the very near future
  12. I have no idea how I didnt spot that I guess I need more practice lol. Thanks Musicale.
  13. Hello fellow rep lovers. I have been lurking around this forum now since about November when I decided to purchase my first serious rep. I already had a VERY shoddy Sub that I picked up from a lucky lucky man in Ibiza a few years ago and that kind of got me thinking that surely there must be descent reps out there if this one (AT FIRST GLANCE) looked so real. I nearly fell into the huge pitfalls of the rep world namely shiny sites showing pics of gens that turn out to be a pile of sh*t but eventually I stumbled across this place. I am now the proud owner of a Omega Seamaster Chrono that I purchased from silix. I also purchased a cheaper Tag link from him but thats not really worth mentioning. Anyway I am wittering on. Thanks for all of your help especially By-Tor and I look forward to chatting to some of you. Cheers Paul (Liverpool UK)
  14. Loving that strap!! I think the Black strap on the Pumpkin is the best combo.
  15. Hi All, Can anybody tell me if this is the same watch as reviewed or a cheaper version? http://www.watchsilix.com/product.asp?id=1599 Thanks Paul
  16. you must have read my mind. I am just struggling finding something I think she will like.
  17. I have recently bought my 1st serious rep (SMP Chrono) and it has sparked an addiction that I kind of thought it would. I have just ordered the Seamaster GMT (swiss eta), a Panerai Luminor Marina (Asian 21J) and a Planet Ocean with rubber strap (swiss ETA). After that I intend to finish off my collection with a Asian 21j Sub and a IWC Cousteau Chrono. I am preparing myself for the wrath of the wife . I would just like to say also, thanks to this forum as without it I would have almost certainly been scammed. I even fell for the fake rep review sites. I browsed here for about a month before purchasing my SMP Chrono from Silix and I am in love with it.
  18. Happy New Year all, I have just purchased my 1st serious rep, an Omega SMP Chrono from Silix. I love the watch but have the problem with the chrono wandering at the 6 and I would also like it servicing. Does anyone know of any watch smiths in the UK? Thanks Paul
