Based on replies and some research, I'm thinking that the Noobmariner that TTK has is my best value for the money. I'm a bit wary of using MoneyGram and am unfamiliar with the process, and I just wanted to make sure that it would be a good deal. I was reluctant to get a Rolex at first, especially because of the assumption that most people will make that any Rolexes are fake, but it seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. Kevin

I'm most definitely an undergrad - a freshman in fact. I just bought my first suit (a black john varvatos from Bloomingdales when I was in NY for a finance conference) and I was looking for a watch to go with it. Next stop - shoes. Kevin

I just spoke to Andrew and he informed me that all of the Asian 21j Seamasters have Seanaster written on the bracelet. Not really sure if I still want it now...

Hey all, just a quick hello, I'm a college student at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania but I'm from Folsom, California. Glad I found this site because it seems to hold such a wealth of information and expertise about a subject that I thought would be impossible to research. I'm really looking forward to my first replica and I hope that I make a good choice so that this can be an enjoyable hobby for years to come. That being said, I posted a help thread (http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=60536) in the Omega section to help me choose my first watch (after reading all of the community guides and reviews I could find carefully of course), so feel free to post there if you'd like to help out a newbie.

Well, I guess I wouldn't necessarily choose the Seamaster, it just had good reviews and seemed like a decent price. I want to make sure that the watch I get isn't too large, probably a 40mm or 42mm at the most, and it would be a bonus if it was dressy enough to wear with a suit. I wasn't really thinking Rolex because I feel like that would stand out immediately as being fake. That being said, it doesn't have to be an Omega. Anyone have specific suggestions in the sub-$150 price range for a reliable watch that has a good design, and perhaps a link to where I can buy it? FYI, other watches I had considered were a Tag Heur Carrera and I also liked IWC and Breitling watches, but couldn't really find a decently priced one. I was sorely tempted by the TT Navitimer when I saw how gorgeous By-tor's was, but I figured I couldn't really pull that off as a college student. Kevin

Hey all! I've been looking at various replica watches and I've narrowed my choice to an Omega - mostly because there's some fairly cheap nice looking ones around here. I've basically narrowed my choices down to two watches because I wished to start with a relatively cheaper watch (I'm a college student and can't exactly afford to drop $300+ on a rep). My question, then, is if I should go for the cheaper Omega GMT Seamaster or the Omega DeVille. I know both are using Asian movements and I read the review of the cheaper asian Seamaster on this site, but I was wondering how accurate of a reproduction the DeVille is. Also, are these watches prone to breaking, do they have a decently smooth sweep, and do they keep time well at all? I might even consider getting both if they're both of good quality, as having a nice dress watch would be nice (I go to the Wharton School of Business at Penn, so even as a freshman, I regularly have to go to recruiting sessions and dinners and such). Thanks for answering my questions, and I'm really glad that I found this forum - I've been having a great time browsing through and reading and learning about this hobby, which hopefully I'll enjoy for a while!

Someone suggested the Moon Watch, so I pulled up a quick search on Andrew's site and found these: http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...word=omega+moon Are the $108 ones good, or am I just going to be getting a low quality bad rep if I purchase one of those?
