Intro and First Replica Purchase

[kc_Avery]

My name is Avery, and I have been into collecting watches since I was a kid. I, like a lot of people either couldn't afford or couldn't justify the purchase of a Rolex, or a Panerai. I started collecting Invictas due to the price and good homage of the Submariner.

I recently pulled the trigger on: http://www.manbushijie.com/productshow-483-6.html

I paid 69 dollars shipped. I haven't received it yet but it's on the way. I am SO excited.


I will post pictures and a review when I receive it. Thanks guys!

Welcome!
That's a pretty decent price for a homage watch. I hope it arrives soon and meets your expectations.

Let us know if we can help in any way.

Yeah, Manubushijie have very decent quality and prices. I also own quite a few of them. In terms of construction, they are basically sterile version of many of the $100 reps, really a lot of watch for your money. Like all budget PAM, the strap is real crappy so you will want to change it out. I am not quite sure what type of faux leather they use. But they always smell terrible and feel sticky on your wrist.

I would recommend getting a quality yet affordable strap from AceTimer. $14

You will end up with a $83 watch that feels like thousands. Enjoy~

HI, Avery!

Welcome to the madness!! RWI is THE BEST rep watch site on the web, moderators are fantastic, the members -- all of them -- are excellent & ready to offer you guidance, feedback, and just plain 'ole fun. One word of caution: buying reps is like eating potato chips: you can't eat just one. Before you know it, you'll need a big watch display case to hold them all -- and, of course, enthrall all of us with the pics of your treasures.
