sillex-prime watches

[archierocks]

just had a right good going over his site has some great prices now i know in reps you get what you pay for but im really tempted to order 6 of his cheap watches $100 or under .

and do some reviews as anyone ordered before he even has some decent looking fake torbies lol

My experiences with Silix a few years back were not good: Poor QC, ie items sent out which were missing screws etc, and a missing jubilee bracelet is still probably floating around the world somewhere... But, I recently saw the budget 1665 on offer, and am going to let bygones be bygones to pull the trigger on one when funds allow

[Edit to add] The only reason I'm prepared to do so, is because I haven't seen a 1665 at under $100 anywhere else...

they have some great prices that im thinking about getting 1 to review and also to practise my modding skills on

When I built my Phase I GMT, Silix was the only dealer that offered a Rolex rep (CG-less, Cartier Sub) whose case could be modified for my purposes. However, they are a good example of the old axiom of 'you get what you pay for' as their out-of-the-box Rolex reps tend to be fairly inaccurate. My only complaint was that they were extremely slow in shipping (or responding to my once/monthly inquiries) the 2 watches I got from them (each took nearly 3 months to arrive ).

i purchased a bunch of watches from them for my first ever rep buy....for the price i can't complain at all

got a pvd submariner, a white daytona, a breitling navi, a breitling bentley, and a tag carerra 36

anything that is off is hard to notice, and wouldn't be caught if i didn't mention it

i like silix so much so i just ordered 4 more for myself and 2 for friends...

that's my .02

and michelle's communication is superb...i opted for airmail the first time and it was slower, but this second time i'm going with ems which supposedly should be faster

Nice people, but just about EVERY single one of their cheaper, 21j auto watches I bought had enough issues where they were basically useless.

Their cheaper, "economy" line is just a little better than "Canal Street" quality.

You have to ask yourself, are you really saving money if it goes in the trash can in 3 months?

If you're going to buy a really cheap replica, my advice is to buy one with a Quartz movement. Even REALLY bad replicas I've bought over the years with Quartz movements are still ticking even after a decade.

Unless it's supposed to be a Rolex, hardly anyone will know the difference anyway.

Also, I've had better luck with WatchEden for cheaper replicas.

^ none of the "economy" watches I got are in the trash can after 3 months....

if yoou're looking for an every day watch the economy line is fine. their "high end" line is quite good and the prices are not bad at all

I bought a couple of watches from silix. I've posted my review on the silix reviews area. Overall a good experience but like everyone says, you get what you pay for. Stay away from the really cheap watches, the "specials" are not even worth the $30 bucks unless you just want to play around with it and take it apart. But like I said, overall a good experience. Michelle is really nice and she responded to my emails fairly quickly. Postage was pretty quick too.

They are great as beaters and "victims" to practice modding on. I was always more at ease practicing on a $30 watch opposed to a $300 watch!

Actually i think getting those cheapie to practice on is a waste of money... u can get even cheaper auto watch to practice on.. those like $10 street quality..
