MJP Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Wassup everybody! I'm MJ. I got interested in the replica market about 2 weeks ago when I bought a Japanese watch magazine, I've been totally immersed. Right now I'm looking for a good repro of an IWC GMT Ti or SS. Love Panerais. I was lucky to find a couple Bell and Ross repros a few days ago, which I thought didn't exsist. There are a few things I don't understand yet about this market. There can be quite a price difference, based on Swiss or Japanese movement, other than that, I have no way of telling what I'm getting as far as authenticity besides close-up photos. In the case of, say, Panerais, how many different factories/qualities are out there? Who's the best online dealer? I'm looking for good repros of: Panerai Tantalium (blue hands, two mini dials) IWC GMT Black Face and Day/Date Numbers (these seem crooked in a lot of photos) ANY square Bell and Ross, besides the 2 basic ones I've seen at Trusty Time, any with more sub dials, orange hands/numbers. Anyway, thanks y'all. Good to be here, thanks for a great resource on my newest hobby! MJ in SF, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJP Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) Thanx for all the welcomes!! I've already learned so much since I started this thread, like: Now I want the IWC Pilot Double Chrono, doesn't exsist yet. The Bell and Ross series are the BR 01-94s, they are the bomba. Also nonexsistant. Got a Daylight Chrono Pan, so REAL looing (Thanks Trusty A) Got a Bell and Ross...STOKED Got a Tantalium on it's way (Thanks TTK) Got my sis into it, shes checking around for what she wants (Any good women's sites?) Learned SO MUCH about Daylight Chronos, I might even be able to answer questions for newbies already on that one. Now I can't find any with alarms, (besides the IWC) Anyway, thanks again!!

cwai02 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) nevermind, great choice. For laides, I recommend Chanel J12, PP24, LV GMT, and Rolex datejust. Edited July 30, 2006 by cwai02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 For laides, I recommend Chanel J12, PP24, LV GMT, and Rolex datejust. I'll second that and add the ladies Franck Muller Conquistador - check out the sub-forum I think there's a nice Ladies Omega rep out there somewhere too.
