Hi everyone!
So talking watches with my brother and telling him I just purchased 2 reps, he told me he bought long time ago in NYC 5 reps that he still had. So we started looking and we actually found them!
From how they look, I think (if I learned correctly reading this forum... hehe) that they are horrible and super bad quality reps, but 2 of them called a little bit my attention. First rep it's actually a nice Cartier Ballon Bleu (movement doesn't work), the second one it's a Submariner Hulk (34mm I think) that still works! I don't know if this is normal for a rep but this watch was bought aproximately 10 years ago or even more. Third rep is another Submariner Hulk 40mm (movement diesn't work at all), and two last reps are both Daytona's, white dial one, and black dial the other, both of them also work but numbers and crown said bye bye to the dial LOL
I thought this could be fun or interesting for you guys, maybe some of you would like to guess where they come from, if any parts can be used either on other reps or could be sold to someone who needs them, maybe throw them to the trash, or maybe I could just keep them and use them to learn how the movement works... I don't know, just typing without thinking.
Took pics with the only camera I have, I hope they are good enough... PD: This is just for fun, please don't kill me xd
