    Lol!! Dear me!!! :p:p

    They all look great, but my choice would be the Panerai. :eek::eek:

    Looks similar to the one I bought from them. (I bought the cheapest version of it they had) ;);)

    I LOVE it!! I also get many compliments about it. :):)

    Ordered my first watch on January 21 and it arrived registered mail today. It is a Chanel watch for my daughter....and it looks very nice....white ceramic band and "diamond" bezel...i have attached a short youtube video of the watch (it still has plastic on the face and band but you will see the quality of the piece...I am impressed and will be ordering again.

    And here is a video of the real Chanel which may explain my daughters interest in a replica J-12.

    Gorgeous watch! I've wanted a black J12 since I first started getting into watches. Too bad they don't make them in a 44m...

    I like #2, with the black face, but all are good looking.

    I just got my Bell & Ross today.

    I had major second thoughts right after ordering it and I have to say I would have been better off applying the $100 to the real deal or a watch from the Ferrari store.

    The black case isn't a solid color and shows a darker shade around the corners. The second hand and chrono hands look cheap as hell and the strap has a subtle white haze on it.

    I'm not knocking reps but I think this was just karma coming back at me. As an artist I should know better than to buy a knock off. I guess the urge to have the look I wanted took over my common sense. The next time there is a VTC special on a similar style I'm going that route. Again, I'm not bashing anyone for going this route, it's just not for me.

    Anthony,

    You saved me.

    I was just preparing to pull the trigger on a B&R knockoff from the same place.

    You're right, best to apply the $100 to the real thing or a Ferrari store offering.

    Glad to hear that jsa. Could be I just got unlucky because everyones experience here seems to be positive. I'll have to try and post some pics later.

    I have also been eyeing the Junkers because I love their style but I wish the brand name was smaller. I have even thought about opening the case and removing the brand because it detracts from the design IMO. I know it's ridiculous but I'm weird that way.

    Heck, I wish that even the real watches were just plain with no names on them. Factor that in with a name that doesn't translate well into english and I'm hesitant. I know I'll have to constantly explain the Junkers pronunciation and meaning to the curious and that would get old real quick.

    Ok, now the second hand has stopped working and ticks back and forth in place without moving. Am I missing something here?

    Update!

    I will say their customer service appears great. I spoke with them and the watch is on its' way back to be replaced no questions asked.

    I have this watch and I love it,

    I wasn't thinking of it when I ordered it but after wearing it I noticed it was "B&R like".

    I like the Junkers retro models...also would rather buy from a US-Based Fchat sponsor than from China.

    The one cheap orient auto I've owned kept good time for a couple of years of alternating use, then broke. At around $50 including S&H, not worth fixing.

    Know what you mean about names. I have a really nice and conservative (by 2010 standards) Rolex stainless datejust, but won't wear it becase people notice it. I've thought about changing the face out to one with no maker's name.

    Likewise on cars. I don't like pretentious makes for drivers, yet own a noisy red Italian sports car with a name that is synonymous with expensive. Go figure.

    I think Junkers is a big German industrial complex; I know they made airplanes during WWII. I like the name...it's uncommon and has a classy ring.

    At the end of the day, its only $100. Ive blown $100 on A LOT worse let me tell you. :eek::eek:

    No problem Pap!! I also figured it was worth a chance. At the rate I abuse watches I'm not willing to walk around with a year's worth of tuition for my kids on my wrist. I couldn't even afford it if I wanted too.

    I was just getting ready to package the watch up to send back and I noticed the label of the bow it came in. They have it sent as a "gift". "1x wire cutters valued at $10 USD". LOL!!! Now I know why they only send it postal. They must have an "arrangement" with someone to sneak them under the radar thru customs.

    The Junkers does look good. I'm eyeballing this one here:

    I got my Breitling Bentley 6.75 replica. The quality is very high and I am very happy with my purchase. I will be ordering other watches soon. I would recommend Watcheden to anyone.

    Obviously the same company as idolreplicas.com. I bought from them and also found good quality. All the watches I bought from them 3-4 years ago are still ticking and keep excellent time.

    I ended up ordering the Junkers Pilot 42mm automatic from VTC.

    It's supposed to be delivered here Wednesday.
