modelizer Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 In the Rollie rep world the $300 watches are usually the top quality stuff (with "normal" dealer mark up) unless it's daytonas/ chronographs with reliable movements or frankens/ highly modded watches from members.. Keep reading and you will get the big picture.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I have a feeling I'm going to learn a lot about those terms..triple wrapped, swiss quality AAA+, exact markings etc. What I am discovering is that some of the classic looking subtle watches are AMAZING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hi Melissa and welcome to RWG. We do have other female members but in general they tend to stay a bit incognito, for that reason you are destined to become a favourite. Don't let that overwhelm you as we do have a great bunch of guys here that will be happy to help with any of your requests. But we also have a very good Admin team should anyone be less of a gentleman. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Welcome to the forum. My first advice - your brother can wait. It is time for you to get a new watch and I suspect there are plenty of folks ready and willing to help. Seriously, to the extent you have been interested in the current high fashion watches there are some really great reps. I fear I will become addicted.... If you saw how many handbags and shoes I have collected over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wat44 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Melissa - youve picked a good forum for women in this place so many fine gentlemen! never venture in to the dark places of RWG.... mwhahahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I fear I will become addicted.... If you saw how many handbags and shoes I have collected over the years. Wait until you realize that forum dealer "Bergie's" is a soft-goods merchant, with the most amazing AAA quality designer bags and accessories for the best prices you will find. Both my wife and my daughter have Hermes bags now, and they are truly perfect. Internet rip-off sites want $650+ each for these, but Bergie does not even charge half that.

freddy333 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Melissa - Welcome & read this. Most of what you need to know about reps is in that article. Briefly, for long-term satisfaction, stick with stainless steel (SS), avoid 'jewels' (they almost always look fake &, unless the wearer is an Arab sheik or rap artiste, make the watch look fake) & complications/features - simple, plain reps tend to contain the fewest mistakes & the fewer mistakes a rep has, the more genuine it looks. Be aware that nearly all rep watches contain used &/or unserviced movements. This is like buying a new replica car from someone that cannot tell you for sure what type of engine it has or whether the oil was ever changed. Therefore, it is a good idea to have the (mechanical) movement overhauled upon receipt of the watch by a professional watchmaker (about $100-$150, depending on pricing in your area). Finally, anyone that tells you a rep watch is made anywhere other than Asia is lying to you & you should not have to pay more than about $300-$400 for a basic, high quality rep watch (but remember to get it overhauled).

krpster Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Welcome Melissa. You have stumbled into one of the greatest forums there is. There is a lot of help around to cover any brand you should be interested in. It can be somewhat overwhelming at first but do continue wading in the sea of information here and you will be all set. Your brother is very lucky to have a sister willing to go to such lengths for him ( by that I mean put up with us ) Happy reading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabularasa415 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Melissa, welcome! You'll get more help than you ever imagined.

Or simply providing with a delightful truism?
