New here and to the game in general. Trying to do my research but it's a tangled web. Have a budget of $300-$600 and looking to get the best quality, most accurate rep in that range. Ideally a GMT Batman V7. Better to buy direct from the factory or from a dealer on here? Cane across a website xxx.com Any feedback on that one? Many thanks

Hello everyone! I'm new here, but this forum seems pretty awesome (nice people, good vibes). I want to buy my first replica Audemars Piguet, but don't really know how I can get one... Also I don't know about transfer costs for shipping to The Netherlands (where i live), i've read something about high extra fees or taxes? I'm looking for an AP with decent quality (not the very cheap looking ones), and open back. I would really like to hear from someone who has already purchased an AP. How did your purchase go? How is the quality, is it worth buying one? The watch I'm looking for is attached underneath! I really hope someone can help me! Have a great day. - Thijs

Hello all. New to to this site, but have been on others for the last year. I've managed to pick up a Franken PO, TC/bk sub, and a franken YM. Amazing. Right now im looking for at 31mm datejust and a 33mm Cartier BB for my woman. Anyway... wanted to drop in and say hi.

Just thought I'd be nosey and find out what the last watch you bought was.............mine here

Hi all, just wanted to touch base, and say that from the brief reading and reviews, you all seem like an awesome crowd, with some great knowledge base that I can only hope to achieve someday. Thanks for having me.

Hello everyone am new here!

Hello all! Earlier this week I bought my first Rolex replica after a long (long long long long long) time searching, reading and asking questions. Please welcome my Rolex Submariner Ceramic Noob V1. If this looks boring, and it probably is, just skip to the pictures! (i'm sure they will do some justice!) Why Did I Go With The V1: Trust me, I know the V2 is out! But if I were to buy it and spend the $300+, I only wanted to buy it new with a Asian clone mvnt. Pureti.me was the only person I was talking to about Stock availability in the V2, and they kept telling me 2 weeks until they get it in... 1 week passed, 2 weeks passed, 3 weeks passed and still no stock for them. So I decided to spend less money on a V1 and live with the flaws! It has nothing to do with the differences between the V1 and V2, I simply bought it since I was eager to have my first rep Rolex! My First Thoughts: I definitely never noticed how white Rolex' lume applicator was until I went in a local Rolex store and took a peek. By the looks of it, the V1 doesn't have many flaws... Okay maybe if you know your watches and get in its face then you can tell the flaws, but the quality of this watch is amazing. Flaws I've noticed w/ out Having to go Back to the Books: By this, I mean what I noticed myself that differed from my genuine Rolex research without having to go back on the Forums and ask questions or search for differences of my V1 to the Gen. It seems like the flaws are minimal. I bought this watch via M2M and the previous owner did a Bezel paint mod and waterproofed and tested. With that it is very gen-like already. However I did noticed the minute markers do not reach the reheut, the 'm' in '300m' is not spaced away from the '300' enough and not italicizes enough. (I have not done research on the following so don't judge me). --> the pearl is definitely off on this one. It is centered to the triangle, however, if you can tell in the following pictures - the previous owner must have accidentally brushed the paint on the pearl while trying to do the bezel paint mod. This is not that big of an issue to me as I am currently searching for a replacement Bezel + Pearl. As for the bezel, I don't know much about the difference with the gen. ceramic and rep. noob ceramic so I will let you all be the judge of the. The bracelet feels light to weight but the fit and feel is as comforting as a leather strap. Ok maybe I'm exaggerating... The brushed S/S is a nice look but the 314L definitely does not compare to Rolex' 904L S/S uses. I can already notice some wears and marking just from moving the adjustment clasp up and down. The date-magnifier gets a lot of reflection and does not look gen-like at all when taking a close look, or even when trying to take a picture of the watch outside. From what I remember, I will need to have the mag AR? coated. Future Expectations (modding): - I don't know if it would fit, but I'm thinking of buying a Noob V2 bracelet from another member who has an extra one lying around and try to fit it in. - I definitely want to replace the ceramic bezel and pearl on this one, something doesn't look right to me and I can't put my eye on it! From here I will need to do some more research on modding a Rolex to decide what else is necessary for mine to look more gen-like, but I will definitely appreciate any suggestions! The main reason I wanted to write this review: I wanted a better eyes opinion. Not because I can't live with it, I love it, but I would like to know what you noticed that I haven't. This will help me in the future when buying Rolex. Do you think there are major differences between the Noob V1 and Noob V2?: No, honestly a replica watch is a replica watch, each will have its own flaws, they will never be spot on but like we all say, buy it if you can live with its flaws! And I'm still living. . . . . _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Now for the close-up shots.

I want to buy the best Submariner Ceramic Bezel, found out that the 116610(LN?) is the best one. I've been talking to PureTi.me and TrustyTime, i found these: http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=10408 http://pureti.me/product/submariner-116610-ln-black-ceramic-11-noob-best-edition-a2836/ are those both 116610? Andrew states on his website it is 116600 but in description of the watch it says it replicates the 116610 Also, the video for Andrew shows a very dim lume, is that just cause the lume didn't have enough time to charge up or is that how i will see the watch? Anyone have any watches from TrustyTime or PureTime and pics? Please post I need more reference before buying.. PureTime says they dont have it in stock, but Andrew says he has it in stock and ready to ship. Also: TrustyTime has 116600A - 116600B - 116600C . I know he states that they are just changes in the movement from Asian to Swiss and higher prices but are there any differences to the watch itself? Which one should I buy? THANKS ALL AHEAD OF TIME!

Here's a dial on the bay that I am thinking about buying http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-dial-for-steel-or-white-gold-Rolex-Submariner-/331034919809?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d13380381 I need to know; would this fit the Noob V2 SubC or BP ? Also, I don't have a watch-maker so who should I go to to put this together with the Sub i end up buying? (i.e i live in NY) How much would it cost to pay someone for replacing a dial with this? THANKS

The Topic does not lie! I just made my first purchase with TrustyTime. After speaking to Andrew for a good amount of time, a lot of research and a feel for one watch, I finally sealed the deal. The watch: Ulysse Nardin Black Sea Marine Chronometer 263-92-3C (Red Markers) Picture will be posted below. I will also update this thread as much as I can, including when the package arrives and my notes on it. May even upload a video and some modding? My question is, since I know a lot of people here have good faith in TrustyTime, what was the first watch you bought from them? How long did it take for it to arrive? Upload your pics!!! Do you have a Ulysse Nardin? Upload picks i'd love to see it. Have you done any mods to your Ulysse Nardin? Upload pics & info - i'd love to read it! Also, if anyone can answer this question: From the date that Andrew gives me the tracking #, how long should it take to arrive to New York, USA? Thank guys looking forward to seeing your photos and comments below!

Greetings, anyone from Msia? Newly joined, need guidance on rep. I have some queries that need inputs and thoughts from you guys if anyone mind sharing - Anyone (specifically from Msia) has any experience with Trusty Time? Like the quality, price, delivery satisfiable? Do they look very similiar to genuine? *I'm looking for an AP (navy or bumblebee or panda) and a Hublot BB Steel Ceramic - BTW, why AP bumblebee wasn't labelled "BASE" but "TACHYMETER" in the inner yellow ring? and it doesn't has a forged carbon casing right? will there be a new breed of reps or any possibility in ordering the parts stated above? Cheers ~~~~

Hi, So I'm new to all this and joined because I've started a new job that involves a lot of high profile client interaction, so I need to look the part with the right watch on my wrist. Because of this I need to know the places to buy that has the best quality but is also safe to buy from, I've obviously been on Perfect Clones and know that their work is supposed to be of a very high quality, wondering if there is anywhere else or if anyone knows anything more about Perfect Clones? Thanks guys, Ben

I've loved Omega watches for a long time but have never been able to afford one. Now I've been looking into reps and want to make a purchase. I've seen a couple sites and been doing some homework but I could use some advice. Thanks!

Gents, Im new to the RWG community, and relatively new to the rep business! Stopping by to share my greetings to everyone, and looking forward to the countless posts and discussions on "fine watches" with fine people Jay

I have bought hundreds of rep watch over the years and modded many but one of my favourite things to mod is the crystal. I have or have had crystals from Jakob, Chief, Taka and Uwe and they look amazing (on occasions even better than the genuine). However, I have a real issue with this new "Sapphire Crystal, 6mm Thick as per the Genuine Colourless Double Sided AR Coated... Swiss Genuine Standards as per the Genuine!!!" Is it me or is this the The Emperor's New Clothes (A link for those that don't know the story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor's_New_Clothes) I own two Panerai's and the new Breitling Seawolf V2 with this crystal and I think it looks terrible. I have compared it to the "out of the box Omega Planet Ocean V5 blue AR" and there is no comparison. The lights from the ceiling above me are very feint in the Omega and in the Breitling they look bright and glarring. Am I the only person who thinks it looks so much worse and is it the same with the genuine watches? Cheers Rob http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor's_New_Clothes

Really hard to tell IMO.
