KILO Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy some B&M, HBB and RM for both my girl and I and want to get the most info on quality /movement/price, since down here - Colombia, replicas are expensive and are mostly chinese reps of the worst quality. This seems the place to get all the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KILO Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Aloha Lani! I went to *The Big Isle* back in '01, with the wifey. It certainly is a beautiful place. What other brands would you recommend, as non traditional? I don't really want the most common brands. You have entered the perfect community for your needs K. !!

What other brands would you recommend, as non traditional? I don't really want the most common brands. Kona ?? Well, what sizes to you fancy ?? the Ulysee Nardin Maxi Diver was just released .. it was made from a genuine sample .. the HBB are pricey but very well made the forum also has services by members.. Chieftangs AR is the best on the planet .. better than the genuines. last year was definately the year for "Breitlings" check out the Black Steel.. the DLC coating is 1:1 with the genuine.. check out the Breitling section for reviews etc. it really was a stunning year for that brand.. the Bell and Ross BR02-94 is the best BR at the moment.. sheesh.. so many look through thee different brand sections and check out all the reviews by various members... bet you can't stick with just one.. the biggest problem you will encounter .. IMO.. is which one to get first !! Check this out.. Mui Macho !! http://www.rwg.cc/members/Breitling-Skylan...k-S-t87368.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki6 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Welcome K, you sure found the right house for Reps!! As Lani stated Brietling had a huge year last year, others you may not be conversant with are Audmars Piquet they do a large chunky watch called the Royal Oak Offshore. You will see it abreviated on the boards here as an AP ROO, awesome looking watches and not the 'norm' in everyday land! Hope you have fun here and that you and your lady mind many pieces that make you happy! N6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansenshukai Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Cool! Cali's known for it's beautiful women. Kilo, I remember walking en route to the "Atlantis" shopping center - in Bogota - and being stopped on the street by a rep salesman. At the time, I had an Omega Seamaster (gen) and I compared it to his rep ... utterly worthless. But, that was way before I found this forum. Are you a native of Colombia? Or, a team guy chilling in Bogota? Take care, bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have nothing but bad quality chinese reps charging as much as 300usd..LOL I'm Colombian, but lived in the States half my life, mostly in Florida - man, do I miss it there. Welcome kilo.

Thanks...I'm in Bogota. Awesome. So, what do you do for a living there? By the way, I used to live in Los Rosales. I used to enjoy walking down to La Zona Rosa on Friday afternoons, stay in one of the hotels adjacent to Parque 93 for the night (usually Pavillion Suites, near the San Angel bar) and go to the up scale Salto Del Angel night club to pick up company for the night. Favorite restaurant, was probably the sushi restaruant near Parque 93 (don't remember the name). But, my favorite cafe, was the Renault Cafe right next to it. I'm nostalgic now.

KILO Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I have a freight forward company. Talk about coincidences. I live in Rosales and go out a lot to San Angel, not only for partying, but because they have great food also. How long ago where you here? Did you get to know the Zona G (G for Gourmet) in 69-70 street? It's next to Rosales and it's an exclusive place filled with great restaurants. Great place to live, but sadly last tuesday, the FARC put a bomb at the Blockbuster store of 80 and 9th, killing two people. Awesome. So, what do you do for a living there?
