am relatively new to this whole rep thing.
When I wanted to buy my first rep a week ago , I read that the less expensive reps were very unreliable, poorly made , etc.. I fortunately heard of the noobmariner, AND ordered 1 but it isnt here yet. I was astounded , shocked, and dismayed that some one would have to appologise for a 100 $ chinese copy! This is rediculous ! I have , on my wrist , a dive watch which kinda looks like a blu sub, but its made by Aquacraft and costs 69 $. Of course its asian , but its a gen and gains 15 sec in 3 months! This watch is sold in dive shops and is excellant quality and diver quality. The major difference is no Rolex name, and some appearance. Is that worth hundreds of bucks? Apparebtly to some! I am still going to explore the reps but the prices are ridiculous on some! Read about the above PO, and this example is from a GOOD reliable dealer! Being a noobie, i guess i havent set aside my value considerations just to have famous names. Face it , making an exact replica is a piece of cake, some one else did all the work! Russia siezed and coppied an entire B 52 PRECISELY , Includeing all mechanicales and electronics and fire controll , and built them and flew them in less than 3 years!.I come from a background of 55 years of design and manufacturing engineering expierience in rocket science and aerospace. [yes , im an old fart, im 76
] Someone gave the example of how hard it is to make an exact replica of someones signature. ****BULL S**T!!!!!! **** Give me just 1 piece of the hundreds of pieces of equiptment needed to make a rep watch , and ill duplicate it EXACTLY hundreds of times , without ANY variation !!!!!!!! Example! These reps movements are NOT engraved by hand !!! Computer guided lazers are great , and relatively cheap
lol Example: sly stallones sig on the back of a pam!!!!!! Regards to you all
Let the flames begin
