Wish i would have known about these forums sooner

I bought my first replica before I found these forums. I bought a bvlgari diagono calibro 303 from swiss-experts.net that I THOUGHT was good quality. Well upon looking at some trusted dealers, I discovered that not only did I over pay, but the quality is worse than the cheaper ones here!

I'm glad I found you when I did. Atleast I won't make the same mistake in the future.

Thanks. It just makes me mad that I could have saved money AND had a much better replica.:facepalm:

It's an unfortunate lesson, how much did you get stung for?

Gosh, they are expensive. Sub is $500+. Look at it this way, now you can buy lots from the trusted dealers here to average out your loss on the one you just bought.

Right around $400. The reason I used them was because like an idiot, I trusted a "review" site, and they were number 2 or 3 on the top 10.

I did the same for my first online rep, but mine only cost me $70, and was ok really (sold it to a work colleague :lol: ) .

I had an order lined up for a few Rolex Pro Hunters to the tune of 1400 bucks and then I found this site...saved me a bundle

Welcome! You're safe now.

I was looking into reps a couple of years ago and saw the sites comparing "Asian reps" to "Swiss reps" and "AAAA++++" stuff. Never bought one, glad I didn't.

I got back into replicas about a week ago because I found an old "Aqualite" watch and was looking for a Nato strap to put on it to spruce it up. Saw a bunch of nato straps on rolexes, that led me to rep rollies, and that led me here. I can go back into my browsing history and see the train of thought that led me to this LOL

Welcome, and it's good you didn't get burned too bad.

Same story here. I bought a 36mm Day-Date from e-replica net for about 150 bucks shipped. Luckily it turned out to be a really decent watch, I just way overpaid for it. Then I found the rep forums and have been buying 'safe' ever since.

I was out of about 1k before I found RWI. I'm glad I'm here.

 

[WatchnScotch]

I bought a watch from that site as well, but I bought an economy one. It was pretty good quality, but a bit overpriced.

You paid your dues, like a lot of us had done. You're safe now (as D4M once told me). Enjoy the great people and items here!!

Haha finding this site did the opposite for me. I just wanted a decent cheap rep for about 50 bucks. A canal st jobbie would have been fine and I'd have known no better. Instead I found this place and started out with 3 21j reps and 2 quartz's costing around $500 in total, all pretty good watches. Then it was on to an ultimate SA and box set at about $400. Then even a a7750 wasn't good enough anymore so the next step was a franken SA with gen dial, gen movement, relumed hands and gen box costing about $1000 bucks. Now I'm trying to get a gen strap, have already bought a new Swiss eta for my first SA, gen dial and bezel will be next. Then of course I felt obligated to become a VIP for all the help this forum has given me.

Haha ignorance may not have been bliss, but it was cheap
