Hi guys. This is my first post on here, and ive been considering getting a daydate rep for a while now. Ive literally come across some trusted dealers and moved away from my go to place which was DH Gate. What ive come to realise is buying a rep isnt as easy as seeing one that looks alike a genuine one. Ive seen discussions about movements etc and my mind was boggling with all this information.
ive come across a TD called Trustytime and he has good reviews etc. The particular daydate ive seen is a black dial tuxedo. But he has 4 different variations from asian clones to swiss movements etc. The price differences are about £30/£50. Could you guys please advise me of these 4 links which is the best one to buy?

Hi & welcome aboard.

Not the answer you want to see, but the answer nonetheless is 'it depends'.

It depends on what you want to spend your money on, no one else will/should decide for you.

Wiser members than me will discuss the movements/dimensions/closeness to Gen etc, and I'll use the search bar to search for the model I'm considering, and investigate the different factory's pros and cons, and decide which one I like, based on my criteria.

Then it comes down to cost. Does Factory A's price, with their associated pro's, justify the price difference versus Factory B?
Or if the price difference is significant, can I deal with Factory B's cons etc.

But I'm the one who has to wear it, so I'm the one who will make the decision how I spend my hard earned money, the same decision you now have to make.

You've now narrowed it down to 4, which is a good start.

My advice would be to research each on here, and do a listing with your own pro's & con's of each, then make a decision.

That way, knowing you've made an informed decision, based on your criteria, you'll be able to look down at your shiny new toy, with pride, not buyers remorse.

I'd then be curious to see what you chose and why :)

Best of luck.

Don't think you're allowed advertise here Sir.

That's considered 'Shilling' as far as I know and seriously frowned upon, so I'd recommend you edit/delete your post, before someone else, most likely a mod/member of staff, does!
