Hello,
This is, as it should be, my first post here, but I have been an avid reader of the forum for some months.
After having played around with more or less cheap "homage" watches and replicas found on the usual sites (dhgate, aliexpress), I am ready to jump into the world of real replicas and trusted dealers.
There are two watches in my radar now:
-) The Breitling Navitimer - possibly in the GMT version: it seems quite difficult to find a good replica of this watch. From my research the main difficulties seem to be the sunken date and the outer dial. And the seplling errors on the back in case of the GMT. Of course I am looking for a functional chronograph. I have found some GMT versions that look good on trusted sites (no factory mentioned).
-) The Cartier Ballon Bleu: this is for my wife (she knows it will be a replica and does not care . It seems relatively easy to find good replicas of this watch also with a clone of the original movement. I was going for a gold wrapped version, but that does not seem to exist.
I will ask in the appropriate forums, but if you can give some advice it will be very appreciated!
Cheers,
GA
