    Heuer replicas: what movements drive them?

    Not sure about other Heuer replicas, but I know for sure that the Aquaracer X Bamford, released recently, in November if I’m not mistaken, runs on a Sellita 200. My close fellow got one recently, a beautiful piece. Not all factories do that, absolutely agree. So, find TDs that can provide it for...

    shipping periods

    Usually ordering different items, including rep watches from Asia. As I could observe, DHL shipping usually takes longer than promised. These usually come with an average delay of 1 week. Some Chinese items in general delayed by about 2 weeks. During covid, could be up to 1 month. UK/Europe...

    sub-dials real function

    Can’t stand reps that don’t function the way that gens do. Such reps are useful for kids as toys indeed. Also, don’t really understand people buying reps that don’t have functional chronographs or other functions. What’s the point? Just showing off?! I think one should buy a watch, rep or...

    traditional watches or smartwatches?

    I see smartwatches as temporary gadgets. these are modern indeed, but the hype around them lasts shortly. all my people had smartwatches, some of them still have them, but these are only temporary. the charging dependence quickly annoys users and people return to the basics. I own an Applewatch...

    Rolex Submariner Vintage

    In terms of solidity, the 16610 is a rock bet, imho The other models, 168000 and 16800 are a bit safer and riskless due to improved iterations As for 1680, it would be a good option whenever checked and serviced regularly, with dial, gaskets, seals checked and improved if needed. The latter...

    with 95% similarity of reps, would u still opt for a gen?

    so extreme opinions out here... if making abstractions from what could these money be spent on, I'd still want a gen simply because I wouldn't want a fake Tesla, no matter how close it is to a genuine one. maybe not the best example but it shows (hope so) the main idea of a gen... also, dont...

    do you guys admit openly your watch is a replica?

    agree... it's also looks stupid when pretending it's a gen while driving a Renault 2007 :D... may Renault lovers forgive me... if seriously, people kinda became more educated lately and dont look at reps the way they did a couple of years ago... some years ago they would crucify all those who...

    timepiece or statement piece?

    like there are formal watches and sports watches, there are also daily watches and statement ones. No matter how much u love statement pieces, you can't take one to your office, you have to take the daily one, unless you dont want to look as a jerk. so I think these are two separate watch...

    Some crucial truths about replica watches

    good conclusion and a real facepalm for newbies who still are naive about reps... though dont really agree with the "there are different types of replica grades, from lowest to highest, AAA+++ and Swiss clones being on the top of them" thing... what u are trying to say here is that there are no...

    Acetone as a solution for movement cleaning

    Old men are hard to convince about new products for cleaning)) I know it from my father, he never trusts model alternatives and not only for watches but for everything… Actually, acetone was been used some decades ago, indeed. for eliminating dirt it’s not a bad option, but the problem is that...
