Hello,

I'm new to the rep game. First time purchase was from Hont. Day date 40 Ice blue dial. Beautiful watch, but I have a genuine question- when I bought the watch, I wasn't aware I was buying a rep of a 100k watch. I feel kind of goofie walking around with it, I don't think I can pull off a 100k Rolex. Has anyone else run into this issue? Or am I being sensitive.

Ciao and welcome!

"Genuine question" in a form devoted to replica object looks like an oximoron but... :ROFLMAO:

I usually stay away from replicas of very costly specimen, because of the reason you mentioned. On the other hand, the DD is a discreet watch, and the price is made by the material. How many ppl will know that particular model is platinum? Just pretend it's steel!

Enjoy your stay

Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:


As a new subscriber, you've already been directed to this thread, please read carefully and look through the linked additional threads:


Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:


Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

This forum is a treasure trove of information and benefits from the engagement of all members who take their time to share their knowledge, help each other out and have some fun. We hope that you'll benefit and enjoy this platform as well as contribute positively to it.

That's fair. The ice blue dial, without diamonds was a very specific make, i'm sure most people wouldn't know.

Hi buddy

Indeed many of my customers always pop this question to me every now and then.

My advice is straightforward most of the time. Buy what you like.

If you think you cannot carry the status of a 100K watch, you can probably get a cheaper version of a replica.

Most important is you are happy with the watch you bought.

Cheers
