Hi all.

I came across this forum from a reddit post recommending to join here to meet trusted dealers.

I've been looking at reps for a while now but never know where to get them from I've only seen a few dodgy looking chinese websites that I cant seem to find any genuine reviews for or a seller on facebook selling apparently AAAs for £100.. but those look exactly the same as a guy I know who sells clothes that was selling a few rolexes for £40! Sooo don't know where else to look? I'm not after spending too much on a rep cos for 1) I don't have the funds and 2) cos at the end of the day its fake lol and I'm no watch specialist. I just don't want to pay over the odds for what somethings worth.. so I came here for some guidance!

ps - not really interested in Rolex as imo its the first brand anyone will think is fake, I'd like an omega seamaster or something similar. I was wanting something skeleton but they're limited in reps and they never look the same obviously lol

thanks

You'll find them in the trusted dealer section.

Marketing is marketing wherever you go and whatever you buy.

Just be aware that CNY grinds the country to a halt - that includes rep dealers and big business, something which plays havoc with my day job. You've picked a less than ideal time to be going into reps.

Do note that you get what you pay for, as in all things in life, when it comes to reps. A 100 quid replica Rolex is going to be appalling in quality for the most part anyways (unless you went with something like a Regmariner). In that bracket, consider a quartz AP.

Thanks for the reply. I do like APs.. royal oaks are nice. I work on a building site so I only get to wear watches occasionally so would you recommend a quartz anyway? Are they generally not as good quality or just cheapee but as good with quality?

I don't really like numbers on the bezel what do you recommend? a few that I've seen recently that I like are..

IWC Portuguesier Chronograph

Omega speedmaster mark ii

Omega Seamaster

i tried to attach photos but dunno how to do it

how much should I look at spending for these watches?

Royal Oak Offshore quartz will fit the bill for you as far as price and the no numbers on the bezel. RepPossessed used to carry these and they were definitely in your price range. Came very close to getting one myself when I went through a brief flirtation with wanting AP.

The answer was in my last post KSwatches are UK based and here on the forum.

beau7816 I know I saw thanks.. there's more than just the one I've discovered. Kswatches seems good though I've communicated with him a couple times. Just need to make my mind up what I want.. I think its going to be the omega aqua terra gmt

For the sake of some assistance - in London, unless the tell is obvious or the outfit is out of sync, a Rolex could be 50/50. I was at a venue and seated near someone with an AP which I knew by various indicators was not legit.

I've signed deals with people worth millions rocking Omegas - never have I given an Omega a second look. I went to a government school and I had a friend who was still able to manage the Quartz '95 "Bond" Seamaster as a gift from his grandparents back in the 2000s, so Omegas are a good middle ground.
