dditty708 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I know everyone loves all the Ultimate Reps, but what are some of the best reps for under $200? I personally only won Ultimate reps, but I was thinking about getting a few cheaper reps just to have some cool colors and different styles in my collection.

Mickey Padge Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Why not push your budget by 10% or so and pock up one of the new PAM's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dditty708 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I could do that and was thinking that. $200 isnt a set budget I just was wondering if reps around or under $200 are even worth buying. Im worried you get what you pay for. I do love Pams and do not own any yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 You do get what you pay for, but these new PAM's have a great deal more value to them, they really can't be beat right now Plus they will re-sell in a flash if you don't like them for whatever reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dditty708 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 What model PAM are you speaking of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbjoer Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Rolex. I used not to be Rollie person, but just had another fantastic one, the GMTIIC. $130 from Timesshop. Edited June 5, 2011 by mbjoer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vuggy Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I agree that Rolexes are the best reps for the buck at this time. Simply because they're so popular and have been for so long, rep 'factories' have gotten pretty good at generating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opti Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Sinn u2 21j version. Everything is the same but the movement, saphire with the best AR I have seen on a rep( reviews say its actually better than the gen) waterproof and tough watch, highly recomended.

dditty708 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 How can you tell what watches are the same quality make on the outside, but just made with different movements on the inside?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opti Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Its rare that they are the same, they usually castrate the 21j version to entice you to buy the more expensive one. But when it is the same the seller will usually state it. the 2 that I know off the top of my head, they are the Sinn U2, and there was a bunch of Brietling Steelfish that were also the same as the swiss version (with saphire and double AR) around at one stage.

maxman Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 U.N. Maxi Marine Diver 43mm all colors,just amazing watches for the price plus they are waterproof and keep excellent time. I have to agree,for under $200.00 It's hard to beat the Ulysse Nardin maxie. I have the 45mm with the black /orange bezel. The 23j movement has been a excellent timekeeper,over 40 hours of power reserve. As far as the water proof thing,at your own discretion. I dont go Into the water with my reps unless I know for a fact that they have Indeed been prepared for water preasure. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
