Rolex Rep Help

[tpn34]

Hello,

   I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for a Rolex Rep and not get ripped off.  I'm seen some of the trusted dealers but I'm just as concerned with the weight of the watch as the quality.  Has anyone purchased a Rolex rep that has a thick, heavy band that would "feel" like the original as well as look like it?

Before you jump in here and ask questions like that, why don'tyou go over to the Rolex section and read some of the reviews and comments on the various models from different dealers.

Yes.  Even the budget reps I purchase have a good weight to them, and 'feel' substantial.

 

Things to consider:

Rolex bracelets feel 'rattly and cheap'...  The leaves of the clasp are thin, stamped metal which feel very flimsy.  Rep bracelets feel exactly the same, so don't be fooled into thinking that the rep bracelet feels like junk.  The only real difference in the bracelets, is that rep bracelets can need oiling to give the same smooth movement of the links.

 

Reps are only a fraction of the cost of the originals, so don't expect every detail to be 1:1, but if you have reasonable expectations, and are happy to have 'a nice watch', that's what you'll get
