crystalcranium Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 In 4 years, I have helped create 2 collector monsters and at least a half dozen fans with potental. One guy got it real bad buying about $3500 in reps over about 3 months.
section8 Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 Well I've only just started, but I've got two friends looking to buy their first reps soon, and I've spread it to my wife by proxy.
ProZac Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 I have been interested in reps for about two years now. I have three friends who I have “recruited”. They are spending a lot of money on quality reps these days.
fitmic Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 I'm trying to, but most of my friends aren't into watches at all.
fotoman Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 i have had a few friends and family buy some, my wife has a few now - no one scours the boards like me though i'm generally staying out of the helping friends and families now though cause the expectations are high and then i become the middle man for problems. Luckily i can just direct them to Josh's site with confidence. Easy to shop, use paypal and not bother me about it prior to perfect clones - i would have to sit with them or ask them to shop abay or something and send me the photo of what they wanted
Markus Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 I'm trying to, but most of my friends aren't into watches at all. ditto!
baltic Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 A friend couldn't believe the quality of my reps, he's ordering a Josh 111.
jonthebhoy Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 Not sure about the replica bug.............but the RWG bug has been spread to 3928 members and rising..........and we all did it together! Merry Christmas all. JTB
crystalcranium Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Posted December 21, 2006 A friend couldn't believe the quality of my reps, he's ordering a Josh 111. The amazing quality and fidelity of the better replicas sure do sell themselves. I have had several friends who have had Canal Street replica experiences and scoff at the prices offered by out dealers...until they see the quality first hand....then they're blown away!

I have had several friends who have had Canal Street replica experiences and scoff at the prices offered by out dealers...until they see the quality first hand....then they're blown away! Same here. Most of the people I know, don't really understand why you pay what we pay for replicas b/c their only experience is with the Chinatown reps. Until they see the watches.
2005SUBMARINER Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) iv got my brother , best friend , & both my supervisors on the rep bug ! oh & some of the people along the way of my inspection route theyv all bought from our dealers oh & some NYPD officers Edited December 21, 2006 by 2005SUBMARINER
yt74 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 I've certainly tried, but not successfully. One guy I work with is into reps but insists on ordering from some shady sites that sell him overpriced crap...
SubFrog Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 First, a good friend noticed my reps and wanted a Rollie sub...so, he got one from Paul. Now, he's got 3 others. His last purchase was a Navitimer. Then, I gave my brother a Audemars Piguet for his birthday...and he can't stop talking about what he's getting next. He just got a Day Date Presidential and then a Patek. So, that's 2...but, I keep most of it pretty low key. I'm selfish.
ElTee Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 I ordered my first Rep from Andrew at the end of November. I bought my wife her first Rep about a week later (also from Andrew). My youngest son and both of my daughters want Reps after seeing mine and my wife’s and I am still trying to decide on my next one.
hambone Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 Oh yes, I have infected many with the rep bug. it is a highly contagious virus for which there is no known cure.
dadog13 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 well, let me see....3 of my friends + my dad....and some of them who are planning to get reps (at least 3 of my friends)...but most of my friends think that I am crazy...so i am pretty succesfull in spreading the bug...
