    Replica/ Counterfeit/ knock-off??? What's the difference? Help

    replica and knockoff are the same thing. if you have such a watch, it means that you admire the brand, you like its style, you resonate with its politics and philosophy, etc. If you get a counterfeit, it means that most likely someone lied to you and sold you "an authentic watch on sale" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    Preferred dials/ textures/ finish

    tappisserie patterns!!! and if they are combined with clean surfaces like in this model, it's even better.... I've noticed that I'm more attracted to uneven dials. that is, where a certain pattern does not extend over the entire dial, but where the edges have a different texture/pattern, or...

    Fluted or smooth bezel Rx Datejust

    gorgeous😍😍😍 but still be careful, because different factories produce fluted bezels differently. some make sharper teeth, others more rounded. it would be best to ask for a photo from your so-called Td, to confirm that it really looks good... as for the type of bezel, I would go for fluted...

    stainless steel vs rubber band. pls help me decide

    ))) nope)) u can't))) a good replica is at least $250, if you want it to last a long time and not lose its luster, functionality, etc.)))) but for an authentic bracelet, $100 is within reason)

    stainless steel vs rubber band. pls help me decide

    nice watch @Marvel ;) generally, I accept rubber bands... but it depends on what kind of design they have. I don't see anything special in your model (sorry for that). just a band that is versatile, comfortable, lightweight, breathable, etc.. but without great visual and aesthetic effect. that's...

    California dials in rep watches

    1. the style itself has a special vibe, especially for those who somehow find themselves between the casual and elegant style. I like this style and appreciate all the watches I see with a California dial 2. as @Moderatto said. , it really matters a lot HOW exactly this dial style fits into...

    My impression of the gen 3235 watch movement

    one of my mates owns a 3230 model. reported no major problems. that is, no problem, to be more specific. timekeeping is accurate enough, no specific sound..... running at about +2.5 s per day, no issues with power reserve.... I don't know why it depends, but the 3230 seems ok so far

    automatic rep stopped working

    Where did u take your watch? 😁😁 perhaps it could have been exposed to dirt that could have blocked the mechanism inside. that is, I understand that the watch is relatively new, but you never know in what conditions it was kept until it arrived at you and it is possible that something dirty got...

    Quartz watches: seem the best to me lately

    mechanical models are the best for me. it seems to me that quartz is a too cheap option and there is not much horology in it.... I don't think that winding is as much effort as many say here.... and their price doesn't scare me either... no all mechanical watches cost over 2k... at the same...

    how do you deal with scratches on your watches?

    Aha only that the process took a long time, as I processed the scratched surface, micro scratches formed in the adjacent areas... and I had to start the process again n again, changing the cloth so as not to affect the surface of the watch more. if you make the process rigidly, you don't get...

    how do you deal with scratches on your watches?

    ahahahahaahhahaha... I can't say that cape cod is really the best option))) sorry to destroy myths here :DDDD I know real cases where cape cod caused mictroscratches. the process of removing sctratches is not as simple as google writes about it... personally I spent a few hours until I brought...

    Microbrands.... why is everyone avoiding them here?!

    I agree; for their lower prices of 1k, you find functions and capacities similar to what the major brands propose for 10k.... their design is very well thought out and does not yield to many major brand alternatives in the industry. my personal problem is that what I like about microbrands is...

    Has the BP43 gone crazy with the price?

    I agree that the price doesn't make any sense. However, I tend to think that the price is very high because people are specifically looking for this set, complication-free and 43mm diameter... that is, it is a desirable model, even if it doesn't have no specific functionality. IWC knows what...

    Cartier Santos WSSA0039; owner's review 😍

    thanks for appreciation) honestly, I wasn't specifically looking for something from the Cartier range. I wanted something but i wasn't sure what I wanted. having been with Rolex for a long time, I was initially looking for something from the Tudor range, specifically the Pelagos, because it...

    Code 11.59 Audemars Piguet.... what do u think?

    it's painful to see so many malicious comments about a brand that has meant so much to modern horology. give time to the Code.... many watches underwent iterations and changes until the perfect formula was found. The new collection is already an obvious improvement of the first release. the next...

    Black Bay Pro Tudor vs Pelagos!!! my own insight

    I recently bought a Cartier watch. but before getting it, I was thinking and wavering about a Pelagos Tudor. I opted for Cartier because Pelagos lacks personality and character I still see it as a shadow of Rolex. It has been creating good things lately, but it is still in the development phase
