    Bell Ross imitations: opinions, reviews, suggestions

    Specific because of the design that is not understood by every customer, be it a watch lover or not… for example, there are a couple of watches I love in Bell and `ross, and others I simply can’t stand. The Instruments BR03-94 is a model I can’t understand at all. Not only it’s too complicated...

    904 or 316 stainless steel in your replica watches?

    some of the reps I have also appoint on. 904 stainless steel. these are pretty resistant and behave very well, almost servicing for the 4th year... 904l is harder attainable than 316, but not impossible to obtain. I hardly can believe that those dealers promising 904l steel sell, actually, 316l...

    Sellita mechanism

    Not afraid of this movement at all. Sellita is used by Raymond Weil, Tag Heuer, Hublot, and Sinn in their watches. Most people blaming the mechanism don’t tell the whole story. In many cases, they aren’t accurate with their watches, either don’t wind them properly or don’t clean them regularly...

    ETA 2834-2 precision/accuracy limits

    Any connoisseurs of this movement here? Circumstantially, got a Hamilton Scuba running on this mechanism. Brand new came from an official store. Have no idea how long it stayed in the store. The point is that after day 1 of wearing it, the watch indicated -1 sec/day. For the rest of the...

    Returning watches

    That’s why I almost never re-sell the watches I buy. I rather leave them safely in the safe for an undetermined period of time than get rid of them. If I decide to have a new watch, it means it has something special in it. With the passing of time, we all get used to them and the “special” of...

    Your next watch

    SMITHS VINTAGE PRS-35 is what drives me crazy lately. Not the most luxurious piece of course, but love its vintage air. Inspired by 50s watches and all components are designed specifically for this model. Except for the movement of course. So, no stock components in it :D 316 steel...

    Ceramic or Steel bezel?

    Removing the bezel is not a big deal. Don’t really know bout Hamilton or Glycine, but Rolex owners do it easily. You can watch some YouTube videos to see how easy-peasy they perform it

    sub-dials real function

    why do most of you here talk about reps and their functional or dysfunctional features? the author clearly stated that he has 2 gen watches and some functions he doesn't use... dear @neverHAVEIever, wear what you please... people have no idea about how seldom you use your functions. If you like...

    Rolex Submariner Vintage

    look at this vintage beauty it's my buddy's piece. Dates back to 1976 and it’s a 1680. I can’t tell you how many times this watch was exposed to water as my close friend takes it to the swimming pools, not to mention lakes and seas every summer. During its entire existence, at least since the...

    genuine Omega 007: how sought-after?

    "Am I exaggerating things?"- yes you are The Bond community would devour you right away, looking how you're struggling with the matter :D im sure that people who bought Paul Newman Daytona rep (because the gen is the most expensive watch from all Rolex), didn't actually buy it because of the...

    what's the reasonable price for a watch repair?

    once paid 55$ for repairing a Luminox Navyseal BLACKout Military Dive timepiece. The minute/second hands worked ok, while the hour wouldn't move, like frozen. the price for the watch-around 370$, if not mistaken.

    Acetone as a solution for movement cleaning

    lacquer thinner, u mean? My grandpa used to use such. But I recall him telling me another thing: acetone is different from lacquer thinner in its chemical structure. Acetone evaporates faster than lacquer, so I don’t quite understand how could lacquer leave no residues when it evaporates slower…...

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

    so, why would u buy a gen iPhone, if Chinese versions are 95% similar? 😂😂😂 and even come with 2 sim cards😂😂😂😂😂😂 with gens, one always has the certainty of quality, with reps-there is always the concern about "how long it will function, how do I repair it, where to find components for it..."...
