Noob after 1st Rolex rep

[tbbo123]

Hi everbody, i am looking to purchase my first rolex replica and would like some advice on what model would be a good first purchase. I like the daytona and submariner styles but have read that there are a few problems encountered with the daytona.

Would also like some pointers to a reputable seller gained from past experiences.

Cheers in Advance.

best out of the box are probably the DayDate, DateJust and milguass. they are close as it gets, subs and sports models depending on which version have noticeable flaws.

steer clear of the rolex clone 3156 movements opt for the Asia clone or ETA, some subs are said to be better run with a Asia 21j movement some not.

shop around the trusted dealers some don't even sell rolex some have a very good range. but which ever dealer you use that is a trusted dealer here you will have no problems with.

oh and welcome to the forum :wave:

Spend a lot of time reading the Rolex subsection or using the search function and most of your answers will be there.

Good luck and have fun.

Look at a vintage Rollie. A nice Puretime 1665 or if you want to do some hardcore modding look for a used MBW 1665.

I bought a nice Exp II from Timesshop (white dial), no rehaut, and black hour rings that is really nice. Only real tell is the "Swiss Made" could be a touch wider and the crown is a tad low (I have the 21j movt.)

Don't discount the 21j movt, it is a workhorse and when it die you can have the movt swapped but look into asian copy movts if you want to keep it longterm. For a non-a7750 movt plan on getting it service soon, preferably after you know you want to keep it, they come bone dry usually and will cost round $125 for a service which will last you 5 years at least.
