    replica watches criteria for buying

    some consumers buy a Patek Philippe replica because of the brand echo, for example, because the brand is associated with traditions, craftsmanship etc... so having a fake Patek is like paying tribute to the resounding brand. Or here is another one: some customers only have `omega fakes because...

    replica watches criteria for buying

    There are plenty of replica manufacturers providing a wide spectrum of replica watches. `some of them produce only Rolex replica watches, or only BREITLING, or in general replicas of a single brand. Others produce mass replicas of different brands, and different models. Some are cheap, some are...

    what's the reasonable price for a watch repair?

    “Reasonable price” sounds ambiguous. If an expert asks for 35$ (for example) for a battery change, it’s not reasonable at all. If it asks the same price for a movement details replacement, it’s also unreasonable) what I’m trying to say is that it all depends on the complexity of the service...

    IWC New release

    I believe IWC is more efficient in making dress watches than casual ones. The Portofino and Portuguieser, among others, are somehow more “statement”-like. And not because they are formal. With the Top Gun woodland and Tahoe, like something is missing. May these would do for the young generation...

    Some Bvlgari recommendations?

    I bought my GF a Cartier. She remained amazed by the choice and by the functionality + design. not a good adviser to ladies, but my Gf` would probably suggest u add another brand into your collection rather than a second Bvlgari

    omega imitations

    They are absolutely different from each other. One is sporty, the other is more dressy. You should first begin by deciding the style u want. If you are “the sporty guy”, why would you need a dress-type watch? If the style is not critical, I’d recommend considering the Seamaster. It is more...

    a couple of nice Citizen watches

    It seems to me that u placed the pics in the wrong order) but never mind) I see the three of them as “medium” watches, honestly. I mean the green dial is nothing new, and so is the blue dial. The only unusual one here is the third model with unusual crown placement. Though, it doesn't seriously...

    G shock watches...really?!

    not everything relies on design... some watches are manufactured according to a certain purpose. and g-shocks are designed to serve in the most critical conditions and surroundings. sports people and those who perform activities frequently see them as adjuvant tools, not as watches

    What feature would make u NOT buy a watch?

    skeletons...skeletons...skeletons... sorry those who wear them. But I really have a phobia with them. their design is like having no design at all. and I know the watch designers' point: the idea is to display the inner mechanism and its intricacy. However, these watches definitely have a...

    first dress watch. any suggestions?

    Why isn't anybody mentioning the Nordgreen watches? Personally, I see them as pretty nice and accurate. Perfect for a dress watch, I think. Danish nice watches, Infinity, or the Native, have an extremely minimalist design and are a good option to start with for a formal watch. `these are highly...

    Sellita mechanism

    Personally, had a pretty nice experience with both ETA and Sellita movements. Some years ago I was wearing an Invicta based on Sellita and can’t say it was worse than the ETA 28xx on my Hamilton. After all, I really think it depends a lot on how u treat your watch and how u take care of it. Mine...
