Thanks Tommy Boy,
I'm still finding my way around this site.... now you've given me the opportunity to spend many more hours in this new area of the site !
I did find a useful (to me !) book published by a bloke called Richard Brown "Replica watch report" but it's latest publication was in 2004. As a total noobie I found it useful just to get familiar with some of the technical terms of watches in general. It's on Google books and you can read a fair amount of it online for free.

hmmm I think the inside info is good and really enjoyable to read about.
That answered a lot of questions thanks.
I enjoy buying cheap/good fake brand items
I saw a site from youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0-lkl9TzsU sell high replicas and it is very hot in forums, any one bought…

Why not banned yet?

Well that was ironic.

BUMP for a very informative thread here. Great for everyone to read before ordering a watch and having realistic expectatations.

"You need to realize that watch or dealers in any other item are never going to be as enthusiastic as you are buying one watch for the 1st time and can't possibly know all things about all items they sell in the case of how close to gen is it"

We still miss Robert, one of the all-time greats.
