red series 3 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I have been searching for information and came across this forum, I have been interested in watches since being a teenager and have always put off buying myself luxury items. I bought a few reps about 4 years ago, It started with the Rolex President i was so drawn to the watch and i ordered a rep from the net it cost me like $260 AUDi ordered a yellow gold president and they sent me some garbage daydate that was different to the watch i wanted and and a Yacht Master that was actually a good watch. I made some good contacts overseas and ended up with a LV submariner that i wore for nearly 3 years without fault a datejust and a stainless day date. I want to buy a gen but i'm still not sure which one, I like some of the older series of watches. I was blown away by the vintage look reps i have seen on this forum with the end result looking incredible and a great way to achieve a watch that is rare and unavailable. I always liked the look of the older Date Just and I find these on a jubilee bracelet to be a very comfortable watch. I read some of the franken stories and nearly jizzed my pants it perfectly fitted what i wanted at the moment. I bought a 16000 case, dial, bracelet and crown off ebay, Just SS the bracelet has no clasp and the dial is not 100% what i want but i couldn't find anyone with the dial i want at the moment. The Submariner i have has failed the movement starts and then stops. I think i will replace the movement with an eta. I ordered a 2824 from the net and just need a datewheel hands and a movement spacer, oh and the new wheels to space the hands. I've worked out where to get most items just the H4 kit is missing. Great forum. Thanks already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
