    returning the rep watch to the dealer

    if it's a gen, the only reason to take it back is its poor functionality. I have no claims and objections to the aesthetic, I would know well from the start what I am buying. but if the watch starts showing functional problems, I don't see why I wouldn't return it, especially since it has a...

    do you care for your rep watch differently from the gen watches?

    OF COURSE I DO!! i pay for the replica watch "that looks identical to the authentic one"!!!!! isn't this what rep watch dealers promote? so, why should i accept differences and their selling preposition revolves around "identical copies"?! so, no, don't accept flaws, at least visible ones...

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

    he he))) sounds like self-delusion, lol all of them sutn couterfeit, my dears, please take this as a statement! no brand likes to see copies that distort the image of the authentic brand... I don't really think that Rolex or any other luxury brand would be happy if a rep factory makes superb...

    How water-resistant are yr replicas?

    they have 2 reps, one is daily resistant, the other is up to 25 meters. the dealer informed me about it so no objections. tested the 25 WR watch- it corresponds to everything. I also use it in water conditions and I have no problems with it. till, I have friends who received a rep very sensitive...

    Why do u, people, buy rep watches?

    if my opinion matters, I don't think you need to make major changes. everything that was said before is true and you risk triggering many malfunctions after the change... in addition, I think that even if you find a repair shop that will take on such changes, they will charge you triple for the...

    first dress watch. any suggestions?

    I'm not a fan of dress watches as these are too simple and bore me quickly; no offense; b ut if you like them, can recommend some models that drew the attention of a non-dress watch enthusiast, i.e. ME: Chopard L.U.C 1860 – Tony Traina Rolex 1908 – Danny Milton ORIS ARTILLERY DATA And...

    sub-dials real function

    I don't use all the functions of the watches I buy either... I keep my watches busy, be they reps or gens. they seem complex, attractive, and compelling; time-only watches are too formal for me, and i get bored quickly b y thyem... but, the point is that I want all functions to be fully...

    timepiece or statement piece?

    opt for both in one... i mean, first of all, it's a time telling piece. so i use it for a definite purpose to know the time and maybe some other features and functions. But I never buy too simple watches. I always look for the functionality to be integrated in a style that pleases the eye. I...

    When is the watch service required?

    I divide watch maintenance into 2 categories: self maintenance and professional maintenance. the first one goes for cleaning the watch parts the way i can. remove the straps, clean them out in different solutions, remove the dirt from the links, clean them, stuff like that. I do this about once...

    vintage/preowned/new/replica?

    if I had this money, I would buy a brand new luxury watch. no vintages, as I'm not a diehard fan of those; no preowned- as there can be brand new alternatives, and no reps, as these are for the low budget scenario. So with 1K, you can get a really nice watch from a reputable brand...

    manual wind watches or automatic watches?what is the problem?

    not my kind... got used so much to autos, no stress and fuss, just put them on and go... manuals i guess are for a specific audience. I understand that they are the horological foundation and all stuff like that, but from the point of view of comfort, the autos r more suitable

    old vs new watches. new- are pissing me off...

    I understand what you're saying... seems like old days were much better than modern... this nostalgia is specific to many, but I still think that modern watches are not as bad as you describe them... and I guess, because of the age, we are already closer to the old tyle of making things than the...
