I everyone, i'm a new member of this forum


Differently by you, i don't have passion for watches. Why am i here?
I just want to buy a rep Rolex, obviosuly from a TD.

I've choosen Toro Bravos, because he was the fastest to reply

The Rolex I'd like to buy, should have these specs:

- I don't have a particular model, i like Submariner, dayotna and GMT master
- It's not important the internal movement
- My budget is 290$ (Shipping to Italy included)
- I want a model that is EXTERNALLY, the most similar possible to the original Rolex (considering my little budget, i know)

So, i have some questions:
- In general what is the easiest Rolex to replicate ?(submariner, daytona, ect...)
- Considering my budget, what is the best factory? (Noob factory, BP factory, ect...)


Thanks in advice, I respect a lot your passion and your help to this forum members'

I moved your topic here, because I fear you could get a lot of shit in the general area for those question, even though they are legitimate.
I'm no Rolex specialist so I can't really answer, but you seem ready to accept that with your budget you won't have access to the super high end reps, so that's a good start.

Still, most of the Sub rep are very good so I'm sure someone will give you the right guidance for your quest :)

For God's sake stay away from the the "land of you never know what you'll get"...i mean DHGate. It has it's place but you need to who to buy from on there. I learned from experience on that one.

Buy a BPSD 16600 sea dweller clone. It’s visually great and usually about $283ish it’s very very close to GEN. And a great watch.


Not my picture but this is it.

Hi mate, best advice, read, read, read, then when your finished, read some more. Start with the super rep forum. Tudor pelagos i believe is within your budget and may be in there. (Made by rolex)

There is a wealth of information on the forum which will help you find the rep for you!

One thing i will say is ARF seem the best factory at the moment to me, bit dearer than your budget but worth a look. Noob are also very good - again speaking from my own experience. Dont forget you can also look on M2M sales!

Enjoy the journey mate!

The ARF Submariner is in my opinion the best Sub you can get now with the a2824 movement

The 16600 BP Sea Dweller is a great choice! Currently waiting for some replacement parts to upgrade mine from a 2813 to a Swiss ETA 2836.

Consider buying from a member 2 member M2M sale. You have to establish yourself a bit and consider the small fee to be a supporting member too.
