Hello-

I'm looking for a nice replica of any of the following watches.

112 127, 183, 233, 270, 210, 240, 005 pvd, 1950

My main concern is quality (accuracy of look of watch), movement (good movement preferably swiss if possible) , price (good value for price).

I am new to all of this, but wanted everyone's take on it. IS DVN the best? or someone else? If you could please include the contact info for them it would be appreciated. I tried searching the forums but there are just so much info, would appreciate someone breaking it down for me and would love opinions.

Also looking for a Rolex DSSD replica and would appreciate those recommendations and contacts as well.

Thanks.

Ryan

From what I hear the absolute BEST is from a guy named Little Hero, but his pieces are over a grand.

Sead and DSN are also considered REALLY good and they are much cheaper ($400 range) I just got a DSN and it really is one hell of a piece. Although, I hear Sead's are a little better.

I'm not sure how to get a hold of anyone other than DSN. Hopefully someone will chime in and help you out.

Oh... THAT Robert. You really want to send a noob who hasn't even decided on which model he wants to Robert? :popcorn: :lolcina: :facepalm:

These dealers have too many names.

Well which dealer in your opinions would be the best bang for the buck, but also has good quality (i.e. close to gen in looks, and good reliable movement).

Is it DVN? anyone else?

thanks for your input everyone!

For 600 USD+/- Vac will build you a nice PAM.
Base models only I presume.

There is a saying that goes something like this. "If you give a man a fish he will be fed for one meal. If you teach him how to fish he can feed himself forever"
What I am getting at, and I know that it is easy for a newbie to get overwhelmed, is you really should be reading all of the great reviews for the trusted dealers on this forum. You will than be able to get a feel for yourself which dealer would be a good fit for you and your particular needs. They pretty much all have access to the same watches. Their differences lie in the way they do business. Some cater to the seasoned pro who needs no hand holding and knows exactly what they want. Then there are the dealers that are more patient with the newbies and then there are the dealers that are also modders who bring their reps to the next level of accuracy. It all depends on what you need and only you can answer that question.
I have had GREAT results with Lay at Replicamake.
You mentioned Eden. They did have some issues in the past but you might find that they are now working even harder to overcome the negativity that those issues created.
I look at watch eden sort of like the car rental company in the USA known as Avis. When I was a boy their advertising campaign was based around the fact that they were not the #1 car rental company. They stated that they were the #2 car rental company but THEY TRIED HARDER. Maybe Watch Eden is now trying harder.
In ant respect good luck be patient and enjoy.
