b16a2 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I have been a member of this board for just over a year now. I've had an excellent time, and have learnt so much from everyone here, so thank you RWG! Each replica that I have bought I have made sure I really want it before buying it. So although it is a fairly small collection, I could not sell any of them. Having said that I did at one point sell the Navitimer to a friend, who didn't wear it that often so i bought it back from him. My first purchase was the Navitimer frm Joshua right at the beginning of my quest into the rep world... I then bought a Panerai 005 from Davidsen, and am thinking of buying a 111h in the future to compiment it Next up was the SMP Chrono from TTK. I think that to do this date, it still my favourite replica. If I had to choose any of my reps, it would be this one everytime. Then came the BCE from Angus. Oh boy, what a watch this is! When i received it I was astounded by the quality of the build and detail Then they released the Superocean Steelfish and I knew I had to get one of those too. Again from Angus, and I bought a genuine rubber strap for it. Then finally a genuine Breitling Aerospace Harrier Ltd Ed. By far the most comfortable watch I have. And a few shots of the group.... I also have a TT Navitimer 12,9,6 with Finepics, and am ordering an Ultimate PO and Omega Seamaster GMT (black with black/silver bezel) over the weekend. I feel I should also buy a Sub at somepoint, my collection definitely needs a Rolex, so this begs the question..... WHO HAS THE BEST SUB?

Pix Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Excellent choice, I like them all ! What about dressy watches ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ximenes Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 nice collection, ... reminds me that I need to catalog mine with photos someday.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 What about dressy watches ?Yes I concur, I need a dressy watch. Any suggestions? I wouldn't mind a PP, but not too sure how accurate they are. I'm a bit naive when it comes to the high end market. great collection b16a2 you must be thrilled with your new aerospace Hasn't left my wrist yet, so nice to wear, very comfortable!

Pix Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 PP are not the most accurate, but who cares ? The brand is quite confidential for common mortals I have a 5070 (see my signature). I find Vacheron Constantin to be very attractive, and you get pretty accurate reps for less than 100 dollars... Here too, look at my signature.

deltatahoe Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yes I concur, I need a dressy watch. Any suggestions? how about a sporty dress watch? also, i see you don't have an iwc in your collection? you can kill two birds with one stone: i think the iwc pilot's watch is a fantastic dress watch (see pictures below)... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Very nice collection oh my god Now I know why you were asking for a sub Just PM me or post if you want one...I have some that might be sold soon as you know. Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 You have PM Stephane. Deltahoe are you trying to bankrupt me, that is gorgeous My rate of buying reps has been quite low, but I think this month is going to be a big spender! Is that the IWC from Eddie? I can imagine that the IWC on a strap would be a very nice dressy watch, even on the bracelet it is very classy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 You have a great collection! Really nice pieces... as for the Submariner... they are all 90% correct at the most, although some advertise them as being 1:1. The dumb thing is that rolex is by far the most copied watch, but still is not available as a good 1:1 copy. Only the vintage sub's and sd's are better than the modern versions. If this is important to you than buy an IWC pilot chrono of an IWC Ingenieur... both are really awesome watches ...or the new IWC Aquatimer chrono - Cousteau divers.... that one is sooooo nice!! If it's not important go a one of the well known dealers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
