Used to lah bro.... but not anymore.....
Expensive hobby, and not many brands are easy to sell as 2nd-hand without losing much....
Nowadays, I keep mechanical Seikos only biggrin.gif
SC999
ya, this is a super expensive hobby.

even u r swatch collector, it can burn a hole in your pocket as well. not to mention prestige then.

I like watches but I have only got a Alain Delon (Rm400) that I bought like more than 8 years ago. LOL
But I admit it's really a pleasure to own those patek philippe i saw in magazines.
Can only afford the AA quality from Bangkok...

I have vintage rolex 6694 in my collection. Last time my father bought me the watch @ RM1,500. Now I can easily sell it @ RM4,000 ++.

hmmmm.... very fine line bros.... replicas be it watches to rims to jersey to any possible copied products that are manufactured other than their original manufacturer are all illegal but still can sell here maaa so i dun see the reasoning behind selling replica watches as being illegal as to selling fake jerseys or fake rims or fake Ralliart products or fake other stuffs... please comment....
eldiablo
bro madon actually my point was more the 1st line.
"collectors dont buy replicas."

although some look quite nice, the core for collectors and enthusiast is the appreciation of the watch design, brand values and the mechanism itself, even if its the more common ETA movements without COSC certification.

watch collecting doesnt have to be only very high end brands - some collectors buy watches from all price ranges, to appreciate the watch design, style.

Seiko, Tissot for example make some very nice reasonably priced watches with nice designs.

you've raised an interesting question - do collectors buy replicas..........??

as for selling - pls do discuss your query with site admin/moderators as they would be able to advise.

fully agreed with eldiablo.

i would rather have only 1 genuine masterpiece than 100 variants of replicas.

i oso like to have genuine watches but my pocket does not permit..."i would like to have only 1 or 100 genuine masterpiece AND 100 variants of replicas if possible" hahahah... therefore i have 3 genuine watches and 1 replica... i own a tissot chronograph, a tag calibre -1 vintage that i got as a gift and a michael kors designer watch that looks like a tag monaco. my replica is a bell & ross BR01-93 GMT that i use for heavy duty everyday...coming to this topic.... a friend of mine was telling me about a Fortis watch that comes together with a replica fighter jet helmet that is on sale for RM1K. The retail price of this watch is RM5K. Was wondering if anyone knows anything about this as my friend don't want to reveal the shop as he is scared that i go and buy it....

i want to have this watch one day.....

SC999
ya lo. i also know la. most of the desired stuffs, i also cant afford.

but to me, to appreciate it, the stuff has to be genuine. otherwise, it just like, u buy the look, not the soul. and also many of the times, the look also like only 50% lookalike, lol

haiz, too many in the wish list, but too few $$ in pocket.

a very desirable TAG.... mechanism is suspended by 4 corner "absorbers" in a clear case, caseback.

funnyly enough I saw the replicas of this watch but the actual product doesnt seem to be in production yet.
gotta give the replica makers some credit man...
