Noob question

[Watchfanman]

Hi all first post. Brand new to the hobby. Interested in purchasing my first rep. Could I ask if anyone knows which TD and or Factory would be a good spot to buy a TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 17 Automatic Chronograph. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome aboard Sir,

All TDs, for the most part, can access the same factory so the choice is yours based on your research (24 to choose from)

Go with the one you feel comfortable with, after reading thtough their feedback.

Only ever use the contact details from their forum page (never ever google them)

Trusted Rep Dealers

The websites & email addresses listed here are the only one to be used. Any other website found online or in a post other than from the dealer itself are not recommended Be careful, copycat websites are one of the most common scam out there and their addresses are very similar.

forum.replica-watch.info

*Regarding TDs, my advice would be to also check shipping costs and also their first order refund/replace policy, in the case of customs seizure/loss, as not all cover it.

Also, note that if you pay by credit card (not really recommended tbh) there are reports of additional bank processing charges with some TDs (not by the TDs, but your bank etc).

Lastly, I would recommend reading all the stickied threads in the FAQ section, before doing anything as they will explain the process end to end, letting you know what you can expect / not expect

Best of luck, pop your cherry and you'll find the hardest part is the waiting, but itll be worth it.

Thank you for your reply. I will do the required reading and will educate myself on the hobby. I appreciate your help.

Here's a lesson I've learned. Measure your wrist, most of the watches come with a band or bracelet for wrists under 8 inches. Also know your size in metric that will help quite a bit.

There's nothing worse than waiting forever on a watch only to get it and it doesn't fit your wrist.

Now I have to ask the TD for a bracelet that fits or pay extra to get one that does (buy an extra link)

Again I would re-iterate from PDRD. You the TD’s only use the links from the site as if you type it into Google there’s scam sites so that’s something to beware of. And read all the good information the site has to offer. And welcome to RWI I would recommend supporting the site aswell as there’s many great members on here and it’s a great place and safe haven to buy reps best of luck on your adventure
