Newbie - Need some help!

[OSRep]

Dear All, I hope this finds you well, and everyones having agood start to 2008!!!

Firstly, my names Olly, im a 25 yo engineer living and working in london. I have always loved watches, and ofcourse like many some are harder to attain than others. I was therefore referred to this, I must say, site which I is overwhelmed with information.

So, I am looking to purchase my first replica (naughty Olly) hehe, and like many of you I HAVE NO IDEA where to start

My preferences lie with a Rollie Sea Dweller and an IWC Ingenieur.

Now Im looking for the closest possible, an dhighest quality replicas available really!

Can anyone shed light as to who, where, how I can obtain a good watch?? (Even if you know any dealers in the UK)

Your help and advice is much appreciated

Have a great Day!!

This is a good first time post. You know what you want which is half the battle. Take a look around the "collectors" section and you will find more information. Some collectors have websites, some do not.

Thanks for the heads up LordRasta

As you're in the UK you might want to give PT a try, based in the UK and ships from there too so no drop shipping and no customs issues to worry about. www.precioustime-uk.com or www.ptswiss.com.

Good luck.

Another British-based merchant to consider, is forum regular Narikaa.

He deals in lower-priced reps, but his items are never drop-shipped (a common complaint in this business, so don't be surprised. It means that you get a rep watch which was never seen by the dealer, but sent straight on from the factory/depot). Contact him and others by simple Private Message.

Another good idea is to acquaint yourself with the terms of the rep watch hobby.

Here is a Wiki article compiled by members to help you along.

It depends on your choice of movement and quality you want.

I fully agree with Victoria, I have ordered 10 watches in 2 months with Narikaa , and 4 more to come, I can highly recommend him.

You can contact him through Skype but he is away till half of februari, ordering all the lovely things we buy from him

Also Homer or Precious Time are in the UK, so you don't have customstrouble, or in Spain Crippler, a dealer who just started , selling highgrade reps at unbelevable prices..

Precious Time, Narikaa, Homer; they are all good dealers. Narika is in China now up to half february.

Waheeeeeeeeeyy!!! Hope you are all well.

Thank you Victoria, Richyman and onzenuub!!! I have already contacted Narikaa and got a speedy reply already......so im making my first steps. Thanks for the link on rep watch collecting Victoria
