Its ok to buy a replica , i have been tempted to buy replicas.

Reason why i brought a genuine Starbucks is for the craftsmanship and as an investment time peice. A used Starbucks is over $12500US to $15k . A retail one from the AD is $10400US thats if u can get one.

As u can see the used ones are more that the retail, thats an investment.

Replicas come in various grades, i have seen a $1000 rolex replica and unless if ur a dealer or watch maker u cant tell the difference. But try selling it and get maybe 200us

There's also something called grey market watches which are 100% genuine but not from the authorized dealer. One popular site for those is Jomashop. Bought a citizen watch a decade ago from them at almost half the price, still going strong

I actually brought a Seiko 5 from Jomashop.

Only issue is u get no warranty from Jomashop.

Jomashop buy surplus from other dealers in bulk that's how they have cheaper prices. So they are grey market dealers buy new in box

Nice a watch thread, I'm also into watches, but my lil collection is not that big or expensive. In recent times I've been looking at automatics that are relatively cheap and a bit quirky. Some of my favourites in my lil collection are:

- Seagull 1963
- Vostok Amphibia
- Orient Bambino

[Val]

Did you pay the manufacturer or secondary market price? It's a beautiful piece congrats

Authorised dealer, 9mnts wait, first owner.

Was about to give up untill i got an email saying they have it. Never thought i would get if after hearing tales of how difficult to get especially the Starbucks model

Don't let them fool you, they have inventory. They just try to push you around with the new Certified Preowned program, and to drive up prices with artificial scarcity.

I see someone here was trying to sell a Zelos Aurora Moonphase for 16k, people wicked yes. Happy to sell my Aurora for half that

Great collection, a Hamilton Khaki would round it out nicely.

You've got a chrono, diver and dress, just the field and you're good (and hopefully done lol, else you would end up spending a ton in a downward spiral of watch addiction).

Yes they do have stock, but they limit their first time owners in their store due to resellers. They have you playing the waiting game to weed out resellers.

12 years ago I walk in to an AD (uk)and brought my first roller, no waiting game back then.

I had nothing to loose on the Starbucks, they did say this was a more difficult watch to buy. This was a hint to buy a lower model in their store but i showed them my existing roller.

I kept in contact with Sales manager and avoided the sales clerk, some emails back and forth & visits to the store when I was abroad. Then they emailed to say its ready.

After I got the watch, I checked the going rate for a 2024 reseller Starbucks and it was 4k US over the retail.

Bro, thats out of my league and on another level. I don't even know if any trinis have a Patek or AP.

I cant see myself with a Patek, thats around 25k US for the cheapest. One of my offshore pal have one, he got a work bonus of £30k and brought one. In those days i was buying property.

Really glad people know about watches

Just to clarify. When you purchase from Jomashop you do obtain a warranty.
The catch though; is that the warranty is provided by Jomasop and not the original manufacturer in most cases.

Jomashop warranties are now automatically registered when you purchase a watch. Manufacturer warranties (companies listed below) may still require manual warranty registration.
Jomashop.com will service every brand name watch sold on our website for a period of 1 to 5 years after purchase (see chart for exceptions). Watches that have symptoms of abnormally gaining time, losing time, or not keeping proper time will be serviced under our warranty program. Our warranty does not cover "external damage" to the product.

As they said

"Jomashop warranties are now automatically registered when you purchase a watch".

I brought from them yrs ago and got no warranty.

I took a chance and ordered a Breitling for the old man from Jomashop a few years ago.

Was lil skeptical to ship an item for $2500usd but was a last minute Xmas gift.

Worked out good.

Gamblers do rock watches, but they wear them short term. They normally go broke and sell them to recoupe loses.

Some take their winings & buy watches, then travel and sell them abroad. Its easier travelling with a watch than a stack of cash.

AP and PP knocking dog here.
Lots of VC, JLC, Roger Dubuis, Romaine Jerome etc etc.

Those are flex watches that everyone knows, but I spot real enthusiasts when they wear those obscure independents and micros (think Ming, Minase, Parmigiani Fleurer, Behrens which do exist here etc.).

Have not seen AP or PP around .

But kool if Trinis rocking then.

My favorite watches are from Patek Philippe. Their classic design exudes timeless elegance, making them the perfect accessory for any outfit. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and they effortlessly elevate my style on any occasion.

Speaking of which, if you're interested in exploring some stylish options, I came across a site that offers good-quality replica watches. It could be a great way to try out different styles and brands before committing to a full-priced piece. You might want to check it out here: https://replica24.to/

Thanks man, I've been eyeing that Hamilton Khaki for awhile now, but not sure if i'll get it. Came across the Agelocer Tourbillion recently and that has def got my attention though even though it's not a field watch. I recently purchased a Seiko 5 (just because I don't have one) and presently awaiting for it to arrive.

EDIT: I also got a Tag Aqua Racer and Tissot Couturier but I don't beat on those that often.

[Val]

The Agelocer has that Roger Dubuis Flying Tourbillon look.
You have some solid pieces, the Couturier would take the place of the Khaki.

Order a new smart watch as old one couldn't handle water again... Love the classic look than the regular "smart watch" ip68 large face aluminum amoled high refresh rate leather etc... No fancy thing tho but good reviews and I also have other items in the same brand that didn't disappoint.
