Yup. I joined to see the offerings and boy those guys are doing bags

A whole lot of found this at grandma's house is it real rolexes. Complete garbage and the rest are Invicta lovers

OR complete cheap fashion crap.

I made the mistake of saying that my modded 1675 was a rep and these jerkoffs turned into an outrage mob. I guess putting $600 into a rep is somehow inferior to an Invicta to them.

And now they're adding a higher priced option to get mechanical watches. $99 a month? I'll just buy reps.

I remember seeing this a while ago when it was just starting up and I'm honestly quite surprised so many people opted in for this "service". I can see the fun in it for just $30/mo but other than that I just don't see the appeal.

Subscription box services are fun. But I'm out on this one after this month.

And this is what I got for month 3. Absolute rubbish. Canal Street reps are better.

We should setup a rep watch group that would be sweet. Maybe an AD could set something up.. Close outs or old models....

I signed up, I wasn't expecting a lot, but hell, it is only $30 bucks. I got this:



What can you really expect for $30? Nothing crazy, but a watch with a warranty. I think it looks nice and don't have any regrets for the price. I am just more interested to see if they end up partnering with newer startup watch companies as they have over 5k members now I hear.

A rep subscription box service would be awesome. Make it like $100/month and I bet we could get some decent stuff.

The guys that win the good watches are always dbags. That is annoying.
The guys who win the good watches are probably the vendor's mates photographed with the watches he buys himself from the profits made sending $10 watches to suckers for 30 bucks a month . . .

Starting to think that. He's also spending quite a bit to hire models to help him advertise. Kinda shady.

I guess it all depends on what you are expecting, a $50 watch for $30 is fine by me. Often not my style, but I can just give them to other people or there are some donation services that you can donate watches to the less fortunate. I just like the surprise of seeing what comes. I don't expect a $200 watch for $30.

I signed up for the Black tier to see what I get. I love reps, but there is nothing wrong with lower end gens either. I only plan to do the black every 3 months or so instead of every month.

The facebook group I had to leave, just a bunch of idiots on there.

I guess this is like Columbia House DVD. This watchgang may go big in the future especially when it is being backed by some watch company like Timex or So&Co or even Movado. We'll see. It's not for me right now.

Here is my watch from the first month of the black tier. This months partner was Air Blue, same maker as Deep Blue. Pretty great watch imo for 100 bucks. All of the models on airblues website were shipped (alpha, bravo and Charlie).

Watch has the Seiko YM-26 movement with both world timer and alarm functions inside.
