 What was your first watch? - Crankcase
Warning - Über-naivety ahead.

Having posted earlier I've not had a watch all of my adult life, this thread got me thinking.

I poked about and found a picture of one on Google that really appealed, did some digging and discovered to my utter consternation that it costs fifteen thousand pounds. (It's a Patek Philippe Calatrava) I had no idea you could pay that for a watch!

I've now found a website - swissreplica.co.uk - that apparently will offer me something pretty indistinguishable in looks, if not anything else, for about £300.

I guess this is crazy, and they just take your credit card and you never hear from them again? It can't be legal can it? You don't get summat for owt, do you?
