beefy6969 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi, im a beginner and would like to find some quality reps with Asian 21J movements. I'd like to keep my reps under $150 for now and dont mind the lower movement. Where can I find 21J versions with working chronos for... Omega Planet Chrono, Orange Porsche Flat 6 Chrono Baume & Mercier Riviera Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hey beefy, Just cruise on over to our dealers section. Most dealers will have different versions of the watches you're looking for and sometimes will even do custom jobs with the movement you're looking for. I'd suggest contacting one and seeing what they can do for you. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 If it is a working chrono it will not be an asian 21j and vise versa, I am sure there are working chronos out there that are cheep but not sure if you can get one under $150, how about looking here a post about reps under $150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega Planet Chrono, Orange Porsche Flat 6 Chrono Baume & Mercier Riviera Thanks! sorry but for 150$ and less you cannot get an automatic movement with working chronos from the dealers...if you are lucky you could find them on the 2nd hand market...but even if they come on the 2nd hand market at that price, they sell within minutes! as for the mentioned models there are the ones with working chronos at the price you said (approx. 150$) but they are QUARTZ powered reps... the reps that you are after and that have automatic movement w working chronos go by the dealers for 250+$...more likely in the 300$+ range....

vric Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 21J working chrono doen's exist. 21J is always fake chrono At that price you will have to go Quartz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy6969 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Thanks for the quick reply everyone! I just joined this forum today, and I want to buy everything in site! With my budget, I might start a Quartz collection first. =) You guys are pure evil!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 dont do it, you WILL regret it, start with some of the cheeper autos like the Choppard Mille, it has a loud rotor but what a watch for $100 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look for the stick and will post a link for you... don't go quartz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy6969 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Thanks for the advice guys. I concur with you all. I'll get myself an automatic 21J without chronos then. One more question, being that this is an expensive hobby, are the resale value for good condition reps above 80% and up? I ask that because on some of my other hobbies, I can't seem to sell my stuff for that high of a resale value. example, baseball cards, comics, knives, shoes, etc. Yea, automatics watched rule!

FxrAndy Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I would say that yes you can make back some of what you paid out as you are doing the QC, and alot of people like to buy pre owned that are working, but beware, post very good photos and disclose even the smallest mark. buyers can be very picky. Oh and you have to either be a supporter or donate 10% of you sale price to sell on the board, it is worth being at least a supporter.

vric Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I think one Quartz is ok when you have to do dirty work outside, but I would definitly not get many.. I sold all my "cheaper" watch I got at first to replace with better rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Just for the future reference: chrgod's excellent overview of the best "budget" replicas is sticked in the "watch reviews" section. It's easy to find (and link). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visualspinner Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Thx for the link. I hadn't seen that post yet. Great information. If it is a working chrono it will not be an asian 21j and vise versa, I am sure there are working chronos out there that are cheep but not sure if you can get one under $150, how about looking here a post about reps under $150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
