the collector Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hi Guys, I am in Moscow at the moment, and i am wondering if any of you know if it is possible to find good reps here? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I don't know about buying reps in Russia, but, there are some very nice Russian watches available. Vostok and Poljot have some nice designs. Good hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I don't think you can find better and/or cheaper replicas in Moscow. This board has much better quality and prices. One place to look in Moscow is so called "Gorbushka". However, what I found last time was well overpriced and junk quality. Although, never hurts to check... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been to moscow since 2001, but I have a client who travels there frequently. During a recent conversation about watches and reps, he said in passing "oh, you can get those on every street corner." I assume he's talking about the same reps you can get on every street corner in DC--the lowest of the low grade. To be honest, I think street prices tend to be higher and I've never heard of anywhere outside of China where you can get high quality reps at lower prices than our dealers sell them for. Out here there are a couple of fake purse guys who occasionally get a decent ladies Chanel J12, a noobmariner level sub or a venus powered Patek 5057--they try to get $300 for them. Probably the same in Russia and every other city where dudes try to nab tourists. Edited March 31, 2007 by archibald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watch04 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 @archibald Trust me, you don't want what they sell on every corner - $15 crap that has OmeDa or ONega as a brand name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onezero Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 When I was there a few years ago (before I found RWG) I went to the Ismailovski Markets, its out of the city centre but easily accessible by train or taxi. There were quite a few rep sellers there, I bought a few which after finding RWG etc I found them to be cheap crap, but I only paid about $50 each for them, cant comment on whether or not they have the quality we see on here as at the time I had no idea what to look for.
