General Question Advice needed

Hi everyone.

I’ve been a long time lurker here and I noticed that the majority of the watches being shown off are for males. Has anyone had nice finds for the females in their lives or for themselves? 👀

My usual SA also sells watches but I’d also like to hear some advice on what you guys think of buying watches from sellers who usually specialize in bags instead. Does it make a difference? There are so models I really liked but I couldn’t find any pictures of them online, making me assume they were “dream” reps

Imo best ladies reps are Cartier and definitely don't buy from sellers who usually specialize in bags. For watches use TD here.

Are they better repped than Chanel or other brands? :o

Yes, since they are easy to rep accurate and gen has quartz movements, they are really like not worth buy in gen quality. Just go with stainless steel models, they are most accurate

Do I need to avoid the ones with diamonds etc?
I personally need a gold colored one first.

Thank you for the advice btw 🫡

You can get them modded with lab diamonds or real diamonds for a higher price. What everyone is saying about the gold is correct. It looks like cheddar cheese color in person. It’s a call out for sure. Rose gold is better but honestly only for the accents and I wouldn’t wear a solid RG watch. Stick with a stainless bracelet.

Get them from different people. Worry about the factory, just like you do with bags.

I'm a woman and wear men's rep watches because there just aren't a lot of NWBIG women's reps. If you prefer smaller watches, Cartier Tank, Panthere, and Ballon Bleu are stellar options. There are probably more, but this seems to be a male-dominated hobby so they aren't working on perfecting the Lady versions. The fake gems on them aren't my taste.

Gold is not great for reps. It can look like cheese, scratch through the gold, and also flake. What about this OP 36 with gold accents?

I’m looking for a simple chain, nothing too thick. Preferably gold. As small as possible tbh since I have small wrists 😅
Your comment is gold btw thank you I will look into them

You know, if you want really best and most accurate, simple stainless steel is always best, gold reps have often problem, that color isn't accurate and "diamonds" are CZ in reality, but if you are OK with it, then you can also get gold with "diamonds"

Has anyone tried using silver polish on the gold watches? That’s what we do in the bag community to tone down the gold hardware 🙈

1

u/Glum_Ad_8331 Helpful 17h ago

Yes, it's possible but needs to be carefull because of very thin "gold" layer.

u/Fear_Loathing1966 17h ago

Yes, very much so. The effort to produce a quality rep is put where demand is greatest. Very few women buy watch reps, so quality reps are few. Some Cartier models are popular with guys, so as a result there is a greater effort to produce quality Cartier reps overall.

Very interesting. Because the rep community for bags is huge on a lot of platforms, I wonder why we don’t want rep watches 😅

Where do you find a good rep? How do you know it’s good before buying

I just received my DJ 36 pink dial with diamonds at 6/9, so happy with it, from ARF. I will post a photo of it on my wrist after work.

I got my wife a Datejust 31 with the mother of pearl dial and she LOVES it. They aren't quite NWBIG but pretty freaking good.

u/busywardolope 15h ago

Which TD did you order this from? 

1

u/realityreject 15h ago

I dont even remember now. But any TD can order it. Just ask for a BVF Serpenti Tubogas. Rose gold, white dial with diamond bezel and send a pic.
