billfromtr Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Hello everybody, my name is Bill and I am new here. Found this place looking for a nice christmas present watch for my fiance. I found someone with a small collection of watches he is looking to sell. He is looking for about $350 for the whole set. I asked if they were replicas and he said no, but I don't believe him. Even if they are I think it might be a good buy. I can pick out the Movado and the oyster Rolex fromthe pics, but I dont know what the others are. Any ideas? Would this be a good buy even if they are reps and possibly not great quality. I am in the process of asking him for better close up pics. Thanks. I attached the photo. Edited December 16, 2009 by billfromtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billfromtr Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 The black Breitling is not my cup of tea, but is very nice nonetheless. I would like to get a nice rep, but i just feel like its to easy to get scammed with the overseas internet sight-unseen buying method. Thats why I am leaning towards picking up something from my picture, because it is a face to face, local meet up deal. He hasn't responded with better pics yet, but I'll be sure to post them when I get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 FYI.. all the dealers listed on RWG.,.,are "trusted" and have been proved not to be scam sites.. that is why the forum list them..these are the dealers that the members get the watches they sell here.. just so you know we are here to prvent such scams not advertise them..

billfromtr Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 (edited) I got more pictues of the watches. I may try to just pick up the 2 Breitlings and the Rolex. Are they bad reps? Edited December 18, 2009 by billfromtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 To be honest.. I wouldn't wear them.. but if you feel comfortable with them being and looking like pure fakes.. not "reps" then go ahead.. your the one wearing them..

Justasgood Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 O.k., so>>>>>welcome to you Bill. Plenty of experience and knowledge to be found here. In my opinion, I wouldn't spend $100.00 on that lot of watches. But hey, your money> Good luck, Kurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billfromtr Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Just curious to why they are so bad. Besides the Rolex magnifier not working. We can make this into a game, whats wrong with this picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Oh, so many things wrong with them Rolex doesn't make a dial that even resembles that. None of those are working chronographs. Even the Bulova appears to be fake. $15 or $20 each at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Welcome to RWG Bill. If you spend some time around here you wont have to ask "whats wrong with this picture" you will know. I give you credit for posting your questions. This way you wont have to make a $350.00 mistake. I think It's better to have one really nice watch that you can be proud to own. Better that then having three or four watches that will probably In up In a drawer, never to be seen again. So I hope you spend some time here and do plenty of research. The Information here at RWG Is the very best available, It really dosen't get any better. Trust me, you wont be disapointed, happy hollidays Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmarin.72 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Well...the Breitlings are not bad reps.....in fact...they are not reps at all,since they are not replicating any existing Breitling watch these are prototypes!!! Seriously now these are awful reps,not worth any money spent on them J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I think It's better to have one really nice watch that you can be proud to own. That statement while perfect for this post, is the exact opposite of why most of us collect replicas. I for one would rather have 50 replicas than one gen.

billfromtr Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Thansks for steering me away from these watches everybody. I looks like I'll be getting a nice one from one a dealer here!!! I don't quite have a "taste" quite yet for what kind to get. My favorite I've seen here is the white faced IWC with the leather strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
