docthor Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 ...but not so new to reps anymore Hi I´m a watch addict since several years now and am a so called "flipper". I always buy and sell and buy and sell and I´m always on the hunt for "the collection". I had some very nice watches which seemed to be, at least, the start of my exit collection...but (there is always a but )...there are some watches that I´ll never own as a gen since they are simply to expensive for me . I tried with hommage watches like Steinhart, Davosa and else...no way...they look similar but at the end they are a just look-a-like and easier to spot even for a non-watch-addict. So I asked myself...why not try to buy a replica...and...i found out...without even a little knowledge I don´t have to send my money somewhere...it´s easier to throw it into the bin... So with that "knowledge" I started to read and learn and read and learn...(to be continued)... Meanwhile I managed to buy a regmariner LV which is pretty nice for the money and a really good start I guess. I too bought a "16610 Superrep" but this one needs some love since the mvmnt has some trouble. Good thing for me is that I live only a few km from where Domi is located and the previous owner will cover the costs. And...I purchased three watches from Andrew (TT)...one is already on its way http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_10&products_id=10112 since the 1675 are not in stock yet I decided to change my previous order and switched to a 16750...waiting for QC pix now... http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_5&products_id=249 and only because I´ve read a lot about the superb out of the box qualitiy of the actual ultimate superlumed SD I had to order one http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&products_id=9085 And...last but not least...I decided to stay with this, sort of, new hobby for a while and upgraded to platinum today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
