blacktrump Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Hey guys, I'm fairly new to rep watches but I have a genuine interest watches at large. I bought my first rep about a year ago (pam111 from BK) and never suffered buyers remorse. I'm thinking of a buying a Rolex preferably a mid size In any one of these: * oyster perpetual sky dweller * day date * milgauss * explorer * date just 2 * date just *sky dweller I'm hoping the makes in these reps aren't to suspect. Yes I know that at 3-600 U can't have to high expectations, but at least it should be able to turn a few heads. All roads pointed to TT, but If there is any other TD who specializes in these please help me out. Il be happy to see if anyone has pics or experiences with any of these. Why "burn to learn" right? Thx in advance guyz Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputim Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Forget about the skydweller! Rest just choose one from one our td's and you will be happy. Btw go with am asian eta and don't waste the money on the topup for a "swiss eta"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktrump Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thanks for the response bro will take that into consideration Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Agreed - the SkyDweller is a crap watch in genuine, useless really, and will be crap as a rep. I have a friend with a genuine one, and while I hate it, and people tend to weirdly gravitate toward it and ask questions which might make having it as a rep hard, since the rep doesn't do what he gen does haha. The Explorer is a really great watch from most TD's and if you're genuinely considering the ubiquitous Datejust I would PM MyManMatt and get one of his. If you can't float that $ I'd say any of the others from a good TD will be fine, if you can afford it swing a genuine ETA. The Asian movements are fine too, but something about keeping it "swiss" seems to make it more real for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydenM Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Nice selection there, The first choice I would make if I were you is on the size as you have watches in that list between ≈36mm and ≈41mm. If you choose the smaller watches you also have the choice of vintage or modern models (vintage for those may require a build not a buy though). Best of luck for your first rolex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacktrump Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 What about trusty time? I see he has some modern DD? 250 starting price. Think worth it in the end.

Ezio Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Nothing beats a MM build In terms of DD or dj but maybe buy one from our dealers to see if it is good enough for you and you can Always flip the watch and buy a MM one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ssouthall6 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Mymanmatt's build are only mid size - dj 2 you would have to look at noob for that. I have one and it is, bar the crystal, an excellent rep. There is some debate over whether the rep will accept gen crystal - I haven't braved trying yet! The Explorer 1 is a beautiful watch but considering the simplicity nobody had really done it justice yet. J12 just released an updated version and I wasnt particularly impressed considering the price tag (in the region of $400) I would also consider an Oyster date from tudor - nice and easy to franken Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited November 10, 2014 by Ssouthall6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Eventually also consider a YM (classic model): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
