thomasb Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Dear FRIEND, I'm here to ask you an advice. I'm 19 years old (i'll do 20 in december) and I have an hard decision to do. 1 years ago I bought a WM9 submariner as my first rep. I loved it, but it was too heavy too big too large. I sold it also because it had a problem with the pearl. Now I would like to buy a very good rep, but more right for me. I would like something light, with small dial. What I can buy? I drive a Ducati. Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdavis Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 If you like Rolex, have a look at the Milgaus or Explorer I. Both are smaller and lighter than your Sub and are good for casual wear. The Omega Aqua Terra Seamaster should meet you needs also. Perfect Clones (Joshua)is a good source for your purchase. He as well as other forum approved dealers can be found in the dealer section of this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 This is an interesting challenge for a number of us because we have to think below 40mm. Perhaps a vintage Rolex (6263, explorer, etc.) or a Patek Nautilus or Aquanaut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Omega railmaster or Aqua terra? New datejust or milgause or get a vintage sub they wear smaller than a modern one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasb Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Thanks for your quick answers. Patek Nautilus don't like Patek Aquanaut what about this? I like it it's 36mm x 9.5 it seems small http://www.1-pc8838.com/ppaq10001-aquanaut-auto-ssru-black-seta-28242-p-6298.html is it a good replica? Rolex vintage Explorer II is 40mm, too large. Explorer I 37mm x 12 (bigger than patek) http://www.1-pc8838.com/rlex10001-explorer-asia-2813-free-shipping-p-8812.html How is this rep? 6263 -> http://www.1-pc8838.com/rldv01002-updated-vintage-6263-blackblk-manual-chronos-p-3621.html maybe 12mm is too thick? what do you think? Rolex Milgraus it seems good but big. Omega Aqua Terra Seamaster 40x8 good but big Omega Railmaster 39x9 mm. big? Rolex Datejust Is this good? http://www.1-pc8838.com/rdjms10043-jubilee-sunray-black-numeral-swiss-28362-p-6059.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 you can get the aqua terra in (gen) 34mm, 39mm, 42mm, only the 39mm ones have been repped to a good standard, i used to have about 6 of them at the highpoint of my At collecting phase and a the gen, the 39mm rep was literlay 99% of the gen, the the railmaster, 99.8% of thhe gen, and they do not wear large. I would sujest you get round a few jewelers and try on some gens and then come back with a better idear of what you like, also we all started looking for watches that fitted our skinny wrist, then we all bought 47mm fiddys and realised we could wear what ever we wanted.

thomasb Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 There Is only one watch for you my friend,Ducati Ahah! Yeah but it seems exagerated. I want something more classic but with a littlebit of sport in it =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Ahah! Yeah but it seems exagerated. I want something more classic but with a littlebit of sport in it =) Then It has to be a Panerai,Italian bike, Italian watch Take a look at some of the Gino Franco watches, they go for around $250.00,nice Italian sport watches,If you dont mind quartz. Maybe good for ridding your motorcycle,quartz watches have good shock resistance. If It were me and I had a small wrists, I would look at some 40mm Panerais. They are light because of the leather strap. I really dont think you shoud go under 40mm. Most watches under 40mm are womens watches In todays watch market. Thats just my opinion,you should get whatever you are comfortable wearing,good luck mia amico Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 They cant be smaller than my daughters wrists and she was 10 when she made this pam and that does not look out of place, buy a 40mm one and it will be even smaller and here is another one Narikaa has these 40mm pams for £68 in fact i may buy one for my daughter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerian Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Sweet pix of your daughter's wrist, Andy. at the OP: I'll vote for the Railmaster. Classic, classy yet not too conservative: I don't have a big wrist and the Railmaster fits perfectly. Good luck! Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the size of the aquanaut? I find 36 38 40. On official website of patek philippe they say 38MM. But on perfect clones i found only 36 and 40.

maxman Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 this is my little wrist I dont think you would have a problem wearing a 44mm Pam,or any other resonably sized watch,just make sure that there on a leather or rubber strap. SS bracelets add a lot weight to a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasb Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 This was my wm9 on my wrist, i very disliked to wear it. I feel to wear 1 kg on the hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that these are heavy watches,but the watch looks good on your wrist. I think It's the weight thats the problem not the size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasb Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I know that these are heavy watches,but the watch looks good on your wrist. I think It's the weight thats the problem not the size ok. so maybe i can also wear a 40mm. i very like the omega. the pam stay very good to your daughters, but i think it is not my style. what about patek philippe reps? are they good?

jkerouac Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 My first rep was an Omega Speedmaster, at 40 mm. For a year or so I seldom wore it because I leaned toward the 42-44 mm watches (I also have skinny wrists). The last year or so I enjoy the Speedmaster more and the largest Pams a bit less. The Speedmaster is another awesome watch for you to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 ok. so maybe i can also wear a 40mm. i very like the omega. the pam stay very good to your daughters, but i think it is not my style. what about patek philippe reps? are they good? To be honest I really dont know much about PP reps. I think they are a few nice models. Take a look at the Classic tourbillions and the Aquanaut models. I think they have Aquanauts that are 40mm,good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broker1981 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I think your best bet is a Patek Philippe Aquanaut Mid range. It is classical, beautiful and understated. Most people wont notice it, but you will be getting nods of recognition from connoisseurs. I just ordered a jumbo sized myself (but i have 9.5" wrists...)

cyphion Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Switch the WM9 to a bond nato and that solves the weight issue. Just a thought. Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lufcmattylad Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 the WM9 Pearl looks great... what happened to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasb Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 @broker1981 Do you think tue aquanaut is great? I read that patek philippe reps are note very good because they are approximated. Is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
