Sofacleez Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hi, I'm from Northern New Jersey, pretty much born and raised. I've had some pretty nice watches most of my life. Currently own a few Rolexes new and vintage. My only experiences in the past with replicas were obvious fakes on other people - TT DateJusts with "diamond" hour markers and gold plate rubbing off, you know the Canal St. specials. What got me interested in the whole reps thing was a good friend who showed me his Platty Yacht-Master. I have a gen, and had he not told me it was a rep, I would not have noticed. It wasn't until he took it off and and I compared it to mine I could see the differences. That got me to thinking - there are a number of watches that I have wanted or have owned (like a GMTII) that I would like to have for fun. I am kind of a Rolex guy, but I like Panerais, Omegas, BRs and I'm sure I will become intrigued by lots more. Thanks for your time.

Watchmeister Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Ken- Welcome to the Board. With the current state of high end reps it is a great way to play in brands you might not otherwise buy. It may even result in your buying a gen you never intended to. Enjoy the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
