newbie treading water
Hello,
Watches have always interested me, I have a couple of vintage Boluva's, Walthams, Royale Geneve (more than likely a fake), and now a Rolex out of a thrift store (which has got to be a replica, a very good one). So here I am trying to learn a bit about Rolex's |

My advice would be to smash those replica watches with a hammer and save for a decent and respectable timepiece.
You will not last long around here with replicas

If you like the style (e.g. a Sub or a Pam), you can buy watches like the Debaufre Ocean 1 or International Watchman Marine Diver. A million times better than a replica for a similar cost. And you are supporting real watchmakers rather than fraudsters. Welcome to TRF. |
