Breitling Navitimer with Blue dial (6-9-12) from PT. Just arrived so it hasn't got real wristtime.
3 or 4 years ago i got a ss submariner and a lv submariner on the same transaction, both were crap. i then quickly picked up a vintage red submariner and a white dial explorer II with a working gmt hand from eddie. and so the sickness began...
Purchased in Aruba, on my honeymoon (~ 5 years ago) was a lovely Rolex Datejust with the loudest rotor known to man, a display back and a gorgeous stainless coating that took a whole month before it was chipping off the base metal. I would continue to describe it but it makes me want to fly back down there and try and get my money back ...
As for the most here my first rep was a Rolex TT, but .... I got it in 1986 at the age of 8! My father bought it for me at the beach when we were on vacation in Italy.
As my father predicted it stopped working within 6 days, nevertheless I kept it until last year but when I moved I threw it away finally.
Damm it, it would be fun now to compare the rehaut and printing, perhaps I had the ultimate sub all the years?

The first one was a PAM 217 from Joshua.
When it arrived, the watch was hidden in a toy ... my first reaction was 'F...k, i have been scammed" ... i almost threw the toy away, but at the last minute i had another look on it ... it was inside

A BR 03-94 from Andrew with the rubber strap. That was only a couple weeks ago.. Now I have 2 more in the mail. This needs to stop!
a really bad rolex submariner. it has a silver bezel, cheap chinese movement, silver dial.
i loved the watch, i was in high school, knew nothing about reps, or even real rolexes for that matter.

My first purchase was a Breitling Bentley SS. I got it from this site called Kronozz, a sorry ass place, after 3 futile attempts to purchase from other scam sites. I did my homework and found the "replica watch review" site which led me to RWG and then RWI and that opened the floodgates of information and choices that are still the best to be had in our hobby. This was merely a year and a half ago also, and much has happend since then, but I will always be grateful for discovering the camaraderie of collectors here and the joy that collecting these pirated wristwatches bring.
My first was a PAM Daylight bought from MBK Thailand. It failed after a week and I exchanged it for a PAM 177 which also failed and I changed it for a PAM 111.
The reason why I was able to change it so many times was because I did not get a cash refund for getting a cheaper watch + my friend has been a frequent customer.
The PAM 111 is still going strong, but has the usual flaws, e.g. no cannon pin fix, no lume, AR etc
Regardless, you always remember your first

MY first rep was a Omega SMP Chrono from Ruby. I almost pulled the trigger on a scam site and decided to research a little more and found you guys,
the rest is history. Followed by 111H from the Watch Prince and a SFSO swiss from Ruby. My next rep will be for the wife I am shopping for a Rolex
DJ for the wife.

my very first rep was a fantasy white daytona. I bought it in italy on the street for 20 bucks.
Loved it!!! pitty it broke after 3 months....
Then i bought a new daytona rep, on a really bad site wich i dont know the name from... Was not looking so nice as the one i bought on the street...
I m glad i found this forum!!
Now i am thinking about something more dressy, and i am almost on the point of buying the omega deville chrono
Somebody has it??
