    Cheers mate. :):)

    Every watch I have received from them so far came bubble wrapped, in a brown cardboard box. On the declaration notice on the front, it was listed as a "watch" with a $50 value. :):)

    When I posted their replica Tag back to them a month ago to exchange for my new Tag rep, they told me to declare it as a watch with a $50 value. Which I did. :):)

    Lucky it was an automatic also, the woman at the Post Office said I cannot post a watch overseas with a battery in it. It would have to be removed. I said its an automatic and explained to her what that meant. :):)

    When I asked if I could just lie about it, she said I could. But if they checked and I got caught lieing, then I would cop a fine. She didnt tell me how much and I didnt ask. :):)

    I havent received a birthday present from them yet. :D:D

    Lol. I didnt have the internet when Napster was around, but I reckon I would have downloaded music from there too. But I wouldnt have tried to justify it by thinking the record companies were too rich. I would have just **** em, to save a few bucks. :p:p

    Interesting. :D:D

    A rep collector. Thats me. :):)

    Hehe, glad I cant afford to fly Business Class Jay. :D:D

    I probably wont get ratted out down the back in Economy Class. :eek::eek:

    I understand where you are coming from mate. :):)

    Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. :):)

    I probably own 150 or so watches, and yes some of them are replicas, and I could care less. Some could argue that considering some of my cars have been taken apart and but back together minus the stuff I did not like and plus some stuff that I want, that my cars are now replicas, well thats fine by me they sucked before now they are amazing. Can I afford real watches, sure, do I tell people they are fake, yes, and guess what they never believe me, they think I'd never wear a fake watch. Replicas and everywhere now, watches, clothes, shoes, sunglasses, so wear them if you got them, and if you do not like them, well do not buy them.

    Thanks, I've had some of them 30 years, and not all of them are expensive, I own many different brands, even holographic Grateful Dead watches (I own 6 of the 10 that were made). My wife once asked me when I bought my first replica (she is not a replica anything girl), if I would buy a replica Ferrari, I told her, if they made one that was the same as the real thing, sure I would. Well that is not likely to happen, but I like eveything else it is a personal choice, and to each is own.

    One thing you guys are neglecting to mention/realize, is that producing/selling replica watches is against the law and by purchasing them, you are also breaking the law. There's a reason why you don't see storefronts with fake watches on Canal Street anymore...

    It makes you wonder how they can all get away with it then? :):)

    There are plenty of online replica sites for watches, bags, clothes etc..etc. :):)

    Wouldnt be that hard to close down their website? I dont know. :):)

    Sounds like the gov cant control or police the replicas being made and sold. :):)

    Let them do it and tax them on it. At least the gov are getting their cut then. Dont worry about the watch companies. :eek::eek:

    The one thing I will never wear are replica/knock off sunglasses. In general, the lenses are of extremely cheap quality and can actually hurt your eyes. For glasses, it's always best to pony up and purchase a real pair.

    I can't get hurt from wearing my replica watch at least.

    It's also illegal to roll through a stop sign or break the speed limit. To me, replica watches are really no different than homages. I'd rather buy something from watcheden than Invicta when they are both knock offs but one's not trying to be something else.

    After reading on this thread all these good reviews about WatchEden, I decided to order 2 watches from them. Unluckily, they were seized by the Italian customs, which check almost every package arriving from China and size every replica item they find.
    Now at WatchEden they're asking me to pay half the price I've already paid (plus shipping, as it's not free to my country) and they will resend the watches.
    I'm looking for someone in the European Community (UK would be the best, from what I read) who can receive my package and forward it to me.
    Is there anybody here who can help me? It would be appreciated (and rewarded, of course...)

    Sorry to hear about that, I'm in the US so I can't be of any direct help, but if you can't find someone on here, I'd try some of the rep forums. There are a couple, repgeek or replica-watch are both good sites. Good luck, and I hope you get them soon. Just curious, what ones did you order?

    I'm a member on repgeek.com , I'll try to see if I can solve this problem.
    I ordered a Panerai and a Chopard Mille Miglia. Very nice watches, in my opinion. If only I could find a way to receive them...

    Anyone know what the quality of the Rolexes are like? I bought a GMT Master II last week.

    It really depends on what price range you bought. I bought an el-cheapo daytona and its alright. Some of the ones that are $300+ can be so realistic only a jeweler who looks at the internals could tell the difference.

    Somewhat large for my relatively small wrist, but I like it. Wish I would've paid a little more for a working chrono, but other than that I have no regrets. :)

    Wow I thought it was a 48-50mmm watch. I have a 6-7/8" 7" on a good day and I thought that was small.
