njmike Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I just bought my first rep. Ive been doing my homework now for about a week or so and I've learned a lot and still have a lot too learn but this is a great site filled with great info. My rep has not even arrived yet and I'm planning my next purchases already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDD Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Mike, just out of curiosity... which Breitling did you buy? and what else are you researching into? I am looking to buy a Super Avenger... looks like a few TD carry them and the quality of SA are very solid... prob very hard for people to tell they are reps.

BigDD Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yea... I am afraid I will go broke very soon, after eyeing so many different pieces... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Guys be patient and buy off the board, the guys already got the bugs out. Just be careful deal with senior guys till you feel confident enough to take chances. PS cheaper that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDD Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Mike... thanks for your advice! Do you mean to only buy from the Trusted Dealers from this forum... ie PT, TT, BK...etc? or do you mean buy second hand off forum members in the for sale section? I have no problem buying used if I can get the watch a little cheaper!! hehe.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Second hand you might have to wait but everything comes around. Anyway your tastes will change and you can always sell at a little loss to try it out. You will see a lot of catch and release in sales thread: guy bought says maybe not for me off it goes at less than dealer cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Forgot to warn you guys, some people will not sell to you. Nothing personal just guys come make a few posts buy then PP dispute or phony money transfers. Buy low end ones most will take a chance till you are ready/vetted for the expensive ones, you will loose very little get known and have fun!

hansmeier Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 OP, welcome to the club! My first rep was as also a Breitling (black Navitimer on black leather strap) from Puretime, and I enjoy this beauty nearly every day... ...and like many othera here I'm also hooked, ordered 2 Breits more (from TT) but sadly they are still in transit, stuck in UK customs till Dec 27. So I ordered one more on last Friday - seems I can't get enough, lol! If you buy from the TDs here you can't go wrong, Andrew (TT) is really a great and honest guy, Puretime also! Have fun and wear you reps well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Bentley big date, right now I am looking into a navitimer and a rolex gmt with the ceramic bezel not sure which one on wanna pull the trigger on next the super avenger is nice piece def on my list for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem buying used if I can get the watch a little cheaper!! hehe.. Yes I bought off the site my first time I haven't see the watch yet hoping I get lucky but at least if you stay here these guys have a reputation they have reviews you can read up on photos from actual customers are always good thing too have on your side too this way you can really get a look at what your purchasing and there so many great write ups on how too tell how a rep your buying differs from a gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmike Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Another great example of why to buy here is I paid 540 for the same watch I could of bought for 418 thats a huge savings I could of put toward my navitimer I want LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
