Hi from France

[ddp]

Hello everyone,

I'm from Paris. I recently joined the forum mainly because of M2M I won't lie. I was until now mostly on Reddit Reptime and Chinatime forums.

As someone concerned by the money I spend and to limite the environmental impact of my passion, I prefer to order all watches second hand (no pun intended).

I know I'll have to get more posts but I hope to be able to find sellers who accept me as a buyer soon. I know I will have to begin by lower tier reps of less wanted watches.

I have a lot of watches, mostly solar and automatic ones. For gen I prefer solar but for rep I'm ready to try anything. A rep quartz Cartier could be cool!

My only rep for now is a 30$ Casio GA-2100 with rainbow (crooked) indexes. I love it although it wont even come near of the baddest reps here. I had a Guanqin before that and a MiGEER but I gave them away, even if the Guanqin was cool, both were broken.

I will share to you what I buy as I'm searching for specific and sometimes uncommon pieces like LHD watches, skeletons and dress watches. I'm currently ordering some with a few TDs...

I mostly made this post to present myself as I know it may be easier then to deal with me afterwards. I'm here to buy all your drawer bottom treasuries!

I just saw a typo, and that I posted not exatly in the right place, but I don't find how to replace my post in the "Hello" section nor how to edit my message...

Hi and welcome!
Don't worry to much, a small mistake that doesn't hurt anybody.
You got an interesting proposition and for that I wish you good luck. Don't forget to read the stickies and all the relevant rules, even more important if you intend to be active m2m.
For the rest, just roam the place and you will find a lot information. You may want to use Google for research purposes instead of the search bar, I add "...site:forum.replica-watch.info" to my query and find loads of rwi threads. Don't use Google to find TDs though, lots of scam sites around, follow RWI'S links in the td section only.
Good luck!

Hello...I'm a noob too and have used RWI TDs several times now and have not been disappointed. Cheers and kiss a French girl for me.

kiss a French girl for me.

I'll remember to think of you.

Anyway, thanks to you 2 and my next posts will probably be asking for QC help. I've ordered a left-hand drive Sprite and a Skeleton Sub (Pirlo). But others are on the way.

I figured out it's better that I order first from TD to gain experience and then from second hand on M2M to find vintage pieces and frankens.

I'm looking for Pulsation dials (like the Daytona Pulsation Dial 6239 (1967) or the PP Multi-Scale Chronograph 9975) but I wasn't succesful for now. And TDs seems not interested by my weird askings. I think those would be very cool replacement for modern smartwatches.

Indeed here's my first QC pictures: https://imgur.com/a/bQ1p1FC

I ordered oyster and they got me jubilee!

I didn't found nowhere on the forum to post these and get some help so I'll do it somewhere else.

Read the rules about QC first, you can't post indiscriminately.

The purpose of QC pictures

At RWI, we're fortunate to have a few dealers who take the time to individually procure, inspect, and photograph watches for potential buyers. This has not always been the norm, and in fact, it's a recent development. Up until about two years ago, all of the dealers drop-shipped everything and...

A little on QC pics.

QC pics are to satisfy YOU that the watch is OK to YOUR standards, that there are no crooked indices, missing lume, offset chrono hands etc. QC pics are not for picking tells or things that are present in every example of a model such as spelling errors, happy feet, wrong lume colour etc. These...

Thanks for the answer. I know the purpose of QC I found nothing wrong about the watch itself except wrong bracelet (Eric is changing it) and a stripe on the right side of the case.

I've asked Eric more info about the stripe but everything should be OK, I would GL.

Still very strange that I cannot edit my messages here...

 

[Feefo]

As far as I've understood, only supporter status or higher gives you editing rights.

 

[ddp]

I've GL my first watch. Emotions here.

Okk I understand better, thanks. So you're a supporter for which team?

No teams, don't dig football...

Those watch asks are unicorns from my NOOB pov...I had to use the googler to even know what they were. I suspect that most dealers are most interested in moving the hot, hot, hot hulks, 116500, royal oaks, etc. Good Luck!

 

[ddp]

Those watch asks are unicorns

Yes and that's part why I want them. I don't want everyone's black Submariner. The point with replica is that a lot of things can be found!

And indeed I found a pretty good replica from a Rolex modified by Artisans de Genève for Andreas Pirlo: https://imgur.com/a/VxpyMAS.

You can find a few answers on the forum actually, but in Paris. For example, the jeweler at 190 Rue Saint-Maur in Paris X seems to accept reps. But theres mixed reviews, not enough I think. It would be great if you share you review afterwards if you find a watchsmith.
