Has anyone purchased a replica watch from www.trustytime.com before? They are replica watches just like the real thing I think. Is it worth the $200 for a fake?

Here is the Rolex that i'm looking at.

Is it worth it? It looks cool and how cool would it be to say you have a Rolex?

I would never pay $200 for a replica. They say its a "quality" replica, but they are basically the same as the one sold on the streets. I bought a fake rolex from street vendors once and it looked similar to the one shown in your link. I wear it everyday and it has been working for about a year. I bought it for about $10.

I don't think you realize the quality of some replicas. ;)

Not all replicas are worth $10. There are some very high quality replicas that are well worth $200, better made than some "genuine" brands that sell for that much or more.

Personally I'm not a fan of replicas. I just feel embarrassed trying to pass off myself as wearing a "real" Rolex or whatever. I guess if I wanted a Rolex that bad, I'd just buy one, but I'm perfectly happy with the $500 Seiko Chrono I'm wearing. ;)

Very nice Seiko =D

I'd show you my Swatch, but I can't seem to find it on the e-store.

My watch is a Timex, cost about $40, and tells the time. I'm happy.

BD2006BD, I'm glad to see a thread about watch replicas on fipg? I think this is the first one ever, atleast that I know of! Dmorris is totally right though and great replicas can be had from trustytime (Andrew) and number of other sources. check out this forum for great info, reviews, and sources http//www.rwg.cc/members/

I'm definitly going to buy one within the next month and these are the models i'm thinking of so far (prices from trustytime)

I'm really leaning towards the yachtmaster as it looks classy as hell, alittle bling yet sophisticated.

BD check out the forum i mentioned I'm sure they have review of the watch you mentioned, from what i've read Andrew @ Trustytime has his shit together and has many happy customers

I believe I mentioned this once before... Anyways... Whatever you do, don't fall for the bullshit they feed you at idealwatches.com, replicacenter.com or goreplicas.com... They sell their "Genuine Grade 1 Swiss Replica" for $1,000+ and it's a bunch of bullshit... There's no such thing as a Grade 1, Grade A, Grade AAA, Geniune Grade, etc.

Josh and Andrew are the top two dealers and you can get that 2007 Rolex Submariner LE from Andrew (TrustyTime) for $188 + shipping...

I'm about to buy the gold DayDate for my grandfather from Josh (Perfect-Clones)... I'll keep you all posted.

I swear, even if I was a millionaire, I would get a replica rolex... Call me a cheap bastard, but I think $10,000 for a watch is crazy, no matter how rich you are.

Do any of your watches allow you to do the following

-Select from a variety of different watch faces with the press of a button?
-Find out the current weather and the forecast?
-Check out local and international news?
-Check sports scores?
-Movie times at your favorite theater?
-Stock quotes?

Mine does. 8)

I agree with you h3x, but I wouldn't even buy a Rolex. I think Swatch watches are just as good and far cheaper than any Rolex D

If McDonald's was [if6fa558d37]giving[/if6fa558d37] away Suunto watches, I'd break my fast food boycott and buy up Happy Meals until the stock ran out. And then do it again at another McD's.

I also happen to have a Swatch watch with the same functionality as my Suunto

Check out ReplicaWatchesGuide... There are ton of other brands that might be right up your alley... and RWG is the perfect place to find what you're looking for... Josh and Andrew are the top two dealers but there are plenty others out there that have different kinds of watches... It's a replica watch paradise 8)

"That looks like a Happy Meal watch"

lol lol lol lol



I dont know. Would you feel weird if someone pointed out it was a fake? I;m sure people in your classes er whatever dont know the details of every specific Rolex, but i mean if someone on the street did and happened to comment?

I am not a fan of replica's/knockoff. I see the fake Rolex watches and Louis Vuiton purses everyday at school. What's funny is that [b3c69ea2b52]everyone denies they are fake[/b3c69ea2b52]! They have a million diff stories. Just for once, i want one of them to say, "It's fake. I dont care. Ten buck from 200th street. I'm not gonna lie."




I used to row, so my watch has a gps built in (timex gps ironman)

Appearantly, It would be really hard to tell on the ones Andrew and Joshua have... There is a hologram sticker on the back and even the lugs and ends of the watches have serial numbers engraved in them just like the genuine watches... You can even buy the "official box with documentation and certificate of authenticity" P

They're selling these from China, I think.

I hate fake rolexes but that Tag Heuer looks nice. That suunto watch looks like today's equivalent of the 80's calculator watch.

Will check out ReplicaWatchesGuide and study up, thanks for the link!

Replace the Rolex with Swatch and the even numbered intervals with 3 6 and 9 and there is my watch =D

I bought a replica Rolex in Jamaica for $55.00. It's the "YachtMaster" and it looks realy sharp. I am very happy with it, but I would not pay over 200 for it.

Swatch is greatly underrated. People seem to forget they are still [be4623597f6]Swiss[/be4623597f6] watches [ie4623597f6]made[/ie4623597f6] in Switzerland. )

I have several, some from the early 80s which still run beautifully.

One thing to remember, riding the subway with a fake rolex will get you robbed like your wearing a real one.
