So I am very new to this hobby . only a couple of months in ....

bought about 10 watches straight off - Faux Chrono jobbies / Quartz reps  - all sub $110 watches ....

Now I am selling them off and already ordering $250 - $300 watches !!! 

at first I thought, oh well there cheap enough its just a bit of fun ....

and now its ....  oooo I like that lume ...... ooo those hands look better ---- ooo that strap is much nicer ..... .. oh dear ........... time to start hiding things :-)

 

Familiar story Im sure !!

 

Brilliant Brilliant forum here ... Good work all !!

Welcome! We've all been there. At first the cheap ones look perfect. Then you read the forum reviews and the flaws become glaring. You keep upgrading to the ultimates, supers, 1:1 and still not good enough. Next you're buying gen inserts, gen dials, gen bracelets and you're in for thousands of dollars.

Crazy but quite fun.

Enjoy the ride, mate.

"Painful" doesn't begin to describe it. I've been talking to a friend who is in negotiations for a vintage Rolex part ... one part ... that costs nearly as much as my Land Rover did.

Lol the franken pieces I'm referring to are generally capped around the $1k mark. I've seen your level of reps and projects around the forums over the years mate, and I am light years from it and hope it stays that way lol.

Luckily I haven't been bitten by the vintage Rollie bug as yet either.
