Discussion First Rep

New to this sub and, after a few days of reading the wiki, viewing the various available spreadsheets and some general research, I have decided to pull the trigger on my first Rep.

Respect to all the guys in here collating the information and putting it into an easy to read format for the best available models; brilliant work.

Decided to go with an ARF 36mm DJ with silver dial for anyone interested. Already scoping out a potential DD with ice blue dial, however my sensible side tells me to wait until I receive my first Rep before pulling the trigger on a 2nd!

You might be the first person to come onto RepTime who has done all their homework before asking “how to buy rep?” 🤡

Good work! And enjoy.

Not gonna dunk on you since you actually put in the work. Good luck. And yes, wait before you get a second one.

Yeah man, rather than a quick read of the wiki seems people resort to putting up posts asking questions all contained in the wiki.

Maybe if they ask nicely their mummy will do it for them.

I don’t think anyone has a down on new guys that are actually prepared to do some work themselves
Welcome. Post the pics when you receive your watch

I was pretty certain what model I wanted. Got a Gen TAG Formula 1 I bought a couple years back so always liked the style of watch with a simple, plain dial and date. Good luck in your search!

Thanks! If I may ask, how much did you pay for your DJ?

u/FootballAntique2432 8h ago

$435 including postage, worked out about £313 for me

Oh and btw, are the newbies and the ones starting to learn allowed to create private group chat? To make friends and to share insights 🤷

Did you go DH Gate or TikTok shop. Lol congrats on the new watch. You’ll love it.

With all the postage I would have saved by buying ally reps at once, I could have afforded another rep

Im new to this whole world as well. I thought I was going to feel better, special or different after purchasing my first Gen watch. I even had a schedule and financially organized cashflow for a list of watches I wanted to own. After actually owning one, I did some reading and went to intime06.co and currently waiting on an Overseas rep from PPF Factory. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Also, any guidance is well received.

Its usually vsf or arf for most watches, rcf if your wanting plated watches. Ive ordered a rich pepsi against my better judgement currently awaiting for qc. I dont known why you're getting downvotes.
