Faustous Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Met a local seller from CL. Didn't expect much as far as quality (Canal Street would be more than likely). Hey... it's a start! Here is what I got: Breitling For Bentley : Back states J44362 The Internels.... meh: Porsche Design Regulator : Back states P'6780 - My research came up with a VASTLY Different model... so I assume... meh. BUT: The heft and build seems REALLY nice. Heavy... no BS... Heavy. Also, the second hand ticks... I don't think PD watches have a 3600bph hand... EDIT: Just took the back off of the Porsche Design.... QUARTZ! Also got a "B.R.W" Graham Chronofighter, that is OBVIOUSLY crap. The watch bands for both the Breitling and the "B.R.W." are actually Invicta gen bands... I don't know why =) All in all, for $100 and included a decent black watch five watch case... I can deal with it. =) Edited June 11, 2011 by Faustous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempire Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I may not be an expert here, but I would figure that a good timex is much better than a cheap replica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustous Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I may not be an expert here, but I would figure that a good timex is much better than a cheap replica. Nope, I agree with you! The PD was worth the price of admission. That exact model is on watcheden for $128. So I am chalking it up to "Got a watch I like and 2 others to tinker with".

It is a rocky start 2-3 years from now your collection will be qualitatively (and quantitatively) quite different from this me thinks and hopes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the wife... eh... she dictates what I can or cannot spend. =) and THIS month, I went for quantity over quality... not the smartest move.

maxman Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I look back to when I first arrived here at RWG. What was acceptable to me then Is plain scary to me now. It took time for me to appreciate movements,proper dial and sub dial layouts,quality materials,saphire vs mineral crystal for example. We all had to start somewhere. Take your time and read/research the Infomation here at RWG. You will not find a better horological community anywhere,enjoy Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g60racer Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I think I have that exact Breitling rep, a friend got it for me in Dubai. Keeps horrible time, but it's fun to wear out occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
