I know i shouldn't

[CooperS]

I know i shouldn't but the reality is there's a few things that come in front of me spend 2 - 3k plus on a Vintage Omega Speedmaster pre-moon landing circa 1969 watch (http://www.yorktime.com/search?cid=2:sku=46).

Is there a good place to buy a good not cheap/ shoddy replica?

I'm dead nervous spending $250 on something that i haven't touched nor seen for myself?

Has anyone done this.

Now before people jump in with the nice looking good quality new watches at the £200 mark i really don't think they compare to the styling.... thats what I'm after and not to fool anyone.

Thanks in advance


although this isn't too bad a price http://www.yorktime.com/search?cid=2:sku=428 and looks great

You want people to provide links to fake (and illegal) watch sites?

Good luck.

Some alternate suggestions:

Buy a nice Seiko.

Rotary are making quite a few "looks a bit like" type watches at the mo'.

Take a look at Werners.

Screw your courage to the sticking point and buy the real deal.

Wait, save up and buy the real deal.

Re-read the title that you gave the thread...

Hopefully you're wearing flame retardant clothing today

If you want to know why you're asking this question in the wrong place use the search function and look for the fake watch threads of past.

Buy something in budget or save up for the Omega you really want.

As others have said, you're only ever going to get one type of response here and it's never going to be "buy the fake".

My personal viewpoint; no matter how much you convince yourself that you're not trying to fool anyone - you are. Whether it be yourself or others, it matters not.

Similar designs are one thing, but to have the name, the logos, the branding, the everything to make it look like something it's not in my (very novice) opinion is not correct.

Good luck with it though - you've chosen a very nice watch to want

Are you a fake person?

[LukeBird]

Buy a non-vintage Speedmaster, you could spend comfortably under half your budget and have the 'real deal'?

Learn from my experience... I bought a $80 Marina Militare to see if I liked the style, thinking I'd wear it as a beater until it died.

Other than trying it on, I haven't worn it at all. The fact it's a fake just sticks in the throat and I can't get past that!

If you really want the replica, PM me and I can give you the contact details of a friend in Thailand who deals in them.

It might take a few days to get back to you as ridiculously busy at moment here.

Don't, just don't.

I think I'm going to start a wiki that all members thinking about spending anything like reasonable money on a fake watch should read, and I'm also giving serious thought to simply deleting these threads on sight. For the moment, I think the watch forum has probably communicated loudly enough what we think you should do, so I'm going to close this one here.
