    round or rectangular?

    I combine both depending on the mood, occasion, environment, etc though, I admit that the rectangular ones are more attractive. the round ones have kind of lost their charm lately, probably because there are way too many of them

    testing the rep watch, before buying...

    no big deal... any of us here is prone to such risks of mismatching... pictures on the stores are neither suggestive enough for me... I rely on forums mainly. I ask real owners about the watches I like and they tell me honestly. I have a medium sized wrist and never had such issues previously...

    Rolex Submariner Vintage

    Had the happy chance to own both the 16800 and 1680. To my feeling, the former felt far more comfortable to me. No stress in setting the date quickly and flawlessly neither had issues with the crystal, highly safe anti-scratching. Aesthetically though, the 1680 crystal seemed more attractive to...

    Rolex Submariner Vintage

    Don’t really see why you should be concerned. If u find 1680 that suits u, check its functionalities with an authorized expert including the WR profile. After all, they test it under water pressure and will tell u for sure what’s its condition. In the worst-case scenario, if it doesn’t pass the...

    CF Daytona rep Advice

    Wouldn’t recommend u begin the return process… it never (at least almost, never) ends well and implies lots of nerves, headaches, and waste of time… in addition, doesn’t seem to be a critical factory issue. Seek a watch smith first and get some cleaning. Not excluded that some dust particles...

    scam ain't disappeared

    the most interesting part is when coming across scammers that sell reps as genuine 😂 I met a couple of those pretending that their watches were pre-owned and asking for a cosmic price... if I hadn't been trained in the matter, would have been stupidly fooled. Watch out with scammers and educate...

    do you guys admit openly your watch is a replica?

    until I had my first reps, I had met some guys wearing reps and they were talking so passionately about them, comparing with the gens, detecting differences, comparing reps with other reps.. so I saw it as an engaging hobby in which you compare manufacturers snd reps just for fun... remained...

    Rolex or Grand Seiko?:D

    Recently sold the GS Spring Edition and replaced it with a WG snowflake. Agree that not the best bracelets on GS. But, must say I’m completely satisfied with the superiority of the finishing and movement precision and operation. Objectively and technically speaking, can’t see a big difference in...

    reps longevity

    if owning a quality watch, be it a rep or a gen, it can serve long, for decades. I. bought a rep Omega from a buddy I met in Chicago that he was having for 8 years. Imagine, he had it for 8, and I have it for already two years... 10 years and the rep still works well. Can't say it looks fresh...

    Rep movements

    Quartz is a good option for reps. Can’t say the same about gens. Some gen watches on quartz mechanisms have to be totally disassembled to change the battery and things can go wrong if serviced in independent repair shops. AS with reps, these aren’t copied; manufacturers usually include original...
