Hey everyone!
I have only been sucked into the rep world for some days now and I'm already seriously thinking about buying a Seamaster 300m SS/RG VSF from Trusty.
Specifically one of these (not 100% sure yet, but leaning towards the first one):

At first I was looking into buying a Rolex Hulk or Starbucks, but I figured that was a little bit to flashy for my first rep...
Once I stumbled upon the fact that VSF is basically producing 1:1 true clone movements for Omega Seamaster, I knew that was going to be my first step into the rep world.
However, before actually pulling the trigger I figured I'd post something here and ask all the experts for some input about my choice.
(I'll also use this thread to post updates once I buy the rep.)
Trusty looks like one of the better reviewed TD's and also seems to be responding well on the forum, so I feel good about him.
I've also looked around with other TD's, but the price seems to be the same everywhere (except for TheOneWatches where they are significantly higher priced).
Puretime could also be an option, but will probably buy with them another time to get a more allround working knowledge of the rep TD world.
Also contacted Sead because of the UK/IT stock, but he kept pushing to buy from China so kinda felt weird about it...
(I'm from Belgium.)
What do you think? Would you pull the trigger?
What about my choice in TD and/or rep?
Should I be cautious about buying from China? (Not really looking forward to this, because of bad experiences in the past.)
Any input would definitely be greatly appreciated, seeing as I'm a scared and excited to buy my first rep!
Thank you very much in advance!
