Hello Everybody,

Happy belated new year. Ever since I have been interested watches. Lately I became a watchaholic. I resisted for about 6 years, stayed away from the forums I am member of. But finally I realized that resistance is futile.

My first replica was a Pepsi GMT, and it was very accurate and nice with Chinese movement. I can't remember what movement it was but very accurate and reliable movement that was.

Then I bought a Sub replica from a flea market which was not that good. The bezel was very loose and and hands movements / action were not consistent.

From time to time I check the net for some fairly priced good quality replicas and also homages. The website I bought Pepsi from is not selling replicas anymore, but watch parts only these days.

This is the only homage I have in my collection now:

It is quite accurate and reliable. I am always on the lookout for some new replicas and even clones.

Thanks for this opportunity to meet, learn, buy, sell, and collect timepieces.

Serdal.

Thank you Labedudel for the correction. I noticed the typing error shortly after posting it, however I can not see the edit button.

Thank you very much for this welcome, m33pok. It seems there are many knowledgeable watch enthusiasts and a lot of good info and sources here on this forum. This is your first post I believe, so you also kinda welcome. Or welcome back.

Yes indeed. My first virgin post ever since I came back. Still learning around and figuring out on the specifics of the reps. I am mind-boggling with the kind of details the enthusiasts here have dug out.
Cheers mate!
