Hi All,
Happy Holidays!

I find it relaxing to think about how to grow my replica collection. Have come up with a game I call "Fantasy Watch Box" or "If I had a 10 watch box what would be my collection?"

As of tonight, this is my fantasy replica collection. My rules are all of the watches need to be replicas that I could see myself wearing on a regular rotation.

Would love to hear feedback on my fantasy replica collection or see the fantasy collection of others.

Cheers

A good and well-balanced collection there. Personally, I'd swap out the Omega for a 42mm PAM, and go Big Pilot on the IWC, other than that it's good.

Have you got a link to that AP? I don't recall seeing it recently...

Hi muiramas

Good morning !

Thank you for the feedback. The AP is an Audemars Piguet Safari 26170ST, it seems that the white bezel Noob is no longer being made. Both QueTip and legend have been very kind in answering my AP questions.
For me, the watch is just as much about the bracelet as about the watch itself. I love the integrated braclets,

  • Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711
  • Vacheron Constantin overseas 4500v
I had both the PAM, IWC Pilot in the box but they got bumped by watched with bracelets.

Cheers

I'm not much of an explorer fan, but otherwise I like your selection. I've recently been playing the, "If I only had 4" game. I just have stuff that rarely gets worn and I generally wear my gens so I am trying to whittle down my reps to just 4... I am sure when I get there I'll grow bored and buy more again. You know the cycle.

Dear Bill_C

Happy New Year ! Thank you for your feedback on the fantasy ten (10) watch collection.

Yesterday I received a dhgate blue dial AP 15400 ($105 shipped), I am surprised by how much I like the watch. For me, that has been part of the fun of replica watches, "trying out" watches that I would never have a chance to own. With the AP 15400 in the mix, I am thinking to replace one watch with the AP 15400 and one watch with an IWC Mark XVIII.

Curious what four (4) watches are in your fantasy watch collection ?

All the best in 2021,
Cheeers

Brilliant idea this great thread, well done!

I have created my fantasy wrist from subs

1. Marvellous 5513 changed strap, Amazon Eache leather.
2. M2M 16610LN (used to be Kermit changed insert because of the 126610)
3. M2M blue 116610 (used to be Bamford, blue insert from eBay, “president” bracelet from eBay, blue dial from Raffles.
4. 126610 from KS last week, 70 hour reserve, very smooth.

Which is your favorite?

I hope it’s not cheating but I would like to do another 4.

Happy New Year

That's a tough call. I'm still not sure what will stay, what will go, and what may still be purchased. At the moment my fantasy list looks like this:

Omega PO GMT Tai Chi

Tudor Heritage Black Bay

Omega 300m Grey

Rolex Submariner No-Date

There are others I'm considering but I always come back to these four. I already own all but the 300m and am considering liquidating others to make room for it.

Dear Bill_C

Great list !

The VSF 42mm Planet Ocean CrPO is in my fantasy watch box and VSF Omega 300m Blue or Black is an alternate. Thank you for sharing.

Cheers

Dear Blueadrian,

Happy New Year !

It's your fantasy watch box. I tried first with a fantasy watch box of six replicas and couldn't make it work, then ten seemed like a good limit.

Which four Rolex, Omega, and Tudor replicas ?

Thank you Blueadrian

Putting together a fantasy watch box has been fun for me as I learn about replicas.

Hello Blueadrian,

On your 126610 are you really able to get a 70 hour reserve? If so that’s pretty amazing.

Best,

A lot of us here have way more than 10 reps, it's not a fantasy, it's easily achievable and surpassable

Hey [mention]teethtimer [/mention] tomorrow I’ll wind it and leave it. Let’s see. So far I’ve not had to touch it but I have a winder and I wear it a lot. It definitely does 48, trouble is can I resist wearing it for three days so we can tell??

[mention]blueadrian [/mention] thank you I appreciate the help. If I had yours it would be tough to take it off! Yes I would agree with those brands as some of my favorite as well.

Best,
