Hi Everyone,
I am a watch collector that likes to try 'em and flip 'em. I have probably been through at least 30 watches in the past couple of years. Mostly Seikos, but also some lesser known genuine Swiss brands like Ernest Borel, William Marshall, Tissot, Titoni, etc. I mostly pick up watches, try them for a few months and then sell them on PMWF, occasionally I swoop in and pick up something off the 'bay too. As some of you may know, the PMWF forum has a very clear bias against replicas, but I don't share that view. Frankly, I find it a bit silly that so many of them are wearing Alpha, MarcelloC, Steinhart and other well known lookalikes or "homages" while claiming to have no tolerance for replicas. I have owned many "homages" and to me it is obvious they are being turned out by the same factories that are making replicas. To each their own.
I have now been checking out replicas and doing my research here and on replica-watches for several days. Thanks so much to everyone who has taken time to write reviews and take pictures, it has been invaluable for me. Thanks everyone for feeding my watch addiction. I have two reps on the way, one from Josh and one from WBK - already making a list of my other "must-haves"
Cheers,
GA400
