So I’ve read through all I can, been searching and referencing through old threads etc. and have a general grasp.... BUT.....
I am looking for a couple of watches, and have found them in the fantastic thread that reviews and rates replicas from SuperRep down (the “Consensual List SuperReps NWBIGs”).
I know where to find the TDs.
I know emailing them seems to be preferred contact. (Should I PM them here too??)
But how do I ask for the particular one I want/understand what is being described in that SuperRep thread?
For example:
“Rolex Sea Dweller 4000 ARF 904L Steel SH3135”
Who is making this? And can I see it on a website, or do I just email this description to one of the TDs and ask then to source it? Will they know what I am on about?
I understand all the description except “ARF” - and guess that is the manufacturer?
Similarly:
“Rolex Sea Dweller 4000 Noob V2”
Understood and that Noob is a manufacturer (?) but do I need to find a link to their website or just ask a TD for that description?
There is one other, “Rolex Sub 16610 TC”.
I think TC is (or was) a manufacturer, but do I need to contact “TC” for one?
Or a TD again? Or are these unavailable now?
I found a couple of websites via links on threads here, but not exactly sure what’s what.
Secondly, if I am modding or getting a rep serviced, I assume the recommended “builders” here are sympathetic to the Replica community and will provide services without kicking off about “fakes”?
I only know watchmakers that work on Gens at the moment, but would like to have a service and waterproofing checked for any Rep I buy.
Sorry. Learning! Advice appreciated.
