Hi, I'm new to this forum, and I hope to get help on my question here. I was at other forums but did not recive any apprehensible answer.
So, my question is on choosing a king of timepiece: origainal brand watch, or it's replica. I found that original watch is too expensive, but also I found here :Breitling Aeromarine Automatic BT-139 - The-Watchez.com (http://www.the-watchez.com/replicas-breitling/aeromarine_BT-139.html) a replica to such model. And I see that difference in prices is appreciable. But I disdoubt on quality of replica watches.. :confused:
Any opinions?

Replicas shouldn't be tolerated. You buying into a fake is even further cause why the original is more than you can afford. You get what you pay for and fake/replica is just that poor quality and most likely will fall apart before you know it. A good time piece will last you a life time hence the cost. I rotate myself between my Gucci, Omega and Cartier watches, the Gucci is a classic example of a style as relevant now as 10yrs ago when I bought it and aside from a cleaning and battery has never given me a problem. Worst part about a replica is you'll know and so will everyone else who asks. Do yourself a favor and save for the real thing. Here is a great quality discount watch site: WristWatch.com (http://www.wristwatch.com)
