First post that I read and it was extremely helpful. Glad to find a place harboring likeminded replica watch enthusiasts. Happy to be a part!

I'm so disillusioned I think I'll go kill myself... lol, thanks for the good post for newbies.. now, if you could go back in time and post it about 5 years ago that would be swell. Thanks.

This was the school of "hard knocks" for me. I fell for all this crap, the fake "review boards" and everything.

Add another "thank you" to the list from a newbie. I'm still learning, was only burnt once but with each site you visit you think, "maybe this one will be different!" And am soo happy to have found a place like this with people as into watches as I am help each other out to share the bad sites as well as the good people and places.

I will definitely share my experiences soon after I buy my first few reps.

Let's all come together for a group hug. :D

If I've said this once I've said it a thousand times, this stuff is boring to seasoned collectors but still very relevant to newcomers.

There are many sharks in the water, eager to trade your money for junk. Buyer beware!

Still helps me heaps these tips. I make a point to read this thread once in a while just so I am sure I do not muck up by missing the details when it comes to rep shopping.

Thanks fellas!

Several sellers, mostly "scam" sights, have stolen it and altered to to fit their needs.

The dealer you questioned is a trusted dealer so...

But I don't know the specifics of the movement.

I recall seeing this very valuable info elsewhere, and grateful to see it again.

This dealer claims to have a 23 jewel Asian movement in a PAM270:

http://www.timeshops.net/PA8594_-_PAM27 ... 63-313.htm

Is this legit? Sorry if I missed it in another post.

Thanks :!: :!:

I don't know how much that Seagull movement has, probably does have 23, 21-25 is the normal... the number of jewels doesn't matter that much really, however that site is from a trusted dealer.
