Im a noob that needs guidance........


Recommended Posts

Hey guys!

Seeking to buy my first rep watches. I've looked into the community for a long time, read the noob guides, did my homework, but I still feel like I could use the extra words of advice before I make the plunge. Again, as I am a noob, I apologize if I am posting in the wrong section, rambling/making a gigantic post, or asking stupid questions.

Anyways, I wanted to get a general consensus on the first three reps I'm considering. My main concern is that the watches I buy can keep reasonable time (at worst within a minute a day) and won't die after a year, preferably longer, with regular services if applicable.

So the first rep I am considering is a Rolex Sky Dweller. I know it's a polarizing watch, but for me it is one of the reasons I became so interested in watches in the first place. If I'm buying one rep, it is a sky dweller. Here is the link to one I found that I really like (feel free to link me a better one if you know of one): http://www.pure-time.com/product/sky-dweller-326938-yg-brown-dial-with-roman-number-on-brown-leather-strap-a21j/

I've found footage of the watch on replicawatchvideo.com and it looks wonderful! I do not mind if I don't have the full functionality or poor functionality. Now the big question is which movement: 2813, 2836, or eta? Obviously cheaper is nice, but I want one that pretty consistently will last at least a year and keep ok time.

The second one I am considering is an Omega Seamaster 007 series, http://www.twgtwg.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_83&products_id=747

The big seller here is the spiral pattern and of course 007 charm. There is a similar one on puretime too, but it's been sold out for a long time. It runs an eta 2824, so I suspect that this is a fine buy. But let me know If you see this design cheaper or have other suggestions

Finally, I'm considering an AP Royal Oak Skeleton watch shown here: http://pure-time.com/product/royal-oak-jumbo-ss-black-skeleton-dial-on-bracelet-a23j/

I like AP, but my main motivation here was the skeleton design. I'm concerned about the A23J movement however, and want to know if it is a wise buy. I'm willing to buy other skeletons so if you have a better suggestion than let me know.

*phew* that was long! Anyways, thanks for listening to my very long story. I'm pretty much in the dark as to whether I'm making the right choices here, so your help is immensely appreciated! :)
