    Rubber Strap Maintenance

    don't overcomplicate yourself. If you wash it about once a week, it's more than enough to keep it in new condition for a long time. I have a Carrera CV2014 rep for some time with mint rtubber strap and maintain it weekly with lukewater and soap. It is more than enough to keep sweat and dirt away...

    above or below the wrist?

    TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE ANATOMIC WRIST STRUCTURE. for example, my hand is quite thin and the wrist bone protrudes very prominently. in contrast, my brother is much more corpulent and his hand is much thicker. I can barely notice the wrist bone on his hand. I wear oversized watches exclusively...

    normal differences between reps and gen watches

    it is not normal for a replica WATCH to be more lightweight than its gen version. this speaks of poor quality stainless steel. it is not normal for a reply to be misspelled in writings. this speaks of horrible quality it is not normal for a rep to have different proportions. this is NOT what a...

    traditional watches or smartwatches?

    both my dears, both you can't say which of them are more viable as both of them have their main purpose and specifics.... you choose the one to wear that mostly suits your daily needs. if you go to a dinner or family reunion, get the traditional watch, if you want to match the environment. for...

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

    I don't think that people ignore these microbrands, I simply think that this forum is not the right one for them. I think there must be dedicated forums specifically for them. after all, I strongly DONT believe that people buy either luxury gen watches or only their replicas 😂😂 actually, I think...

    payment issues

    I'm glad that I didn't have any problems with the reps' payments, but I have a buddy who told me that he had paid for a replica watch and had the transaction fixed in the web-banking history. but the seller kept telling him that he did not receive any payment from him and, as such, he could not...

    Rep, ruined my watch perception!

    you seem so fragile))))) no offense please, just tryin to cheer u up actually) the replica hobby is about research, patience, trusted deslers that you don't find very easily and about risks) keep in mind that you only pay in around $150-300 for a watch that actually costs $30,000-100,000. there...

    Domed or flat sapphire?

    domed are ok whenever the curvature is not too angled... too domed is already part of the vintage watch class, so doesn't make sense much in modern pieces.... though, flat are ok by me as well... I think what matters the most is that the watchmaker fits the watch with the sapphire that mostly...

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

    well, some manufacturers are better in this aspect, others less good.... for your thought, I see the Code AP collection as a good example. This is not even compared to the previous RO. So, the collection is ok, but there is nothing in it that makes me say WOW. But with the RO watches, every...

    strap ruining it all in a watch

    everything is relative, you know? now that I look at this strap on this Tudor, it seems to me that it is quite ok compared to the strap option in the attached picture.... I hate such straps and it seems to me that there is nothing worse than this.. .it's like a watch casing like those in which...

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

    personally, I love manual watches, but in natural mode, they ended up being associated with formal events and official environments... maybe it's wrong that I ended up with such an association. but for routine days, the automatic suits me from all points of view. especially since I am very...

    Solid vs open caseback

    I really see the need for open casebacks. and why not? watches also evolve in design and it seems to me that open backs are precisely an aspect of evolution. the solid ones are already boring. in addition, I'm really curious to see how accurate the internal mechanism is because that gives me a...

    returning the rep watch to the dealer

    I kind of agree with you... but when each of us accepts the replica hobby, we also accept all the adjacent risks. I agree that a customer has the right to quality. but we are talking about an industry where quality control is missing and I am afraid that there are not many solutions other than...

    Preferred dials/ textures/ finish

    I like the dials that abstract from the classic types. for example, I had seen this Rado in a boutique in Liverpool. I was impressed by how well the oblique texture of the dial looks. I think it is one of the most successful dials I have ever seen. and in this model, not only the texture and...

    Louis Vuitton: Einstein Automata timepiece

    Price estimates for this model reach between $374,000 – $484,000. the one who takes it at the auction will happily empty his pockets) somewhere I had seen a mini-video illustrating how this watch works... lemme tel u that it's really cool to see it working... I can't say the same about the...

    Fluted or smooth bezel Rx Datejust

    might look flashy when you don't know how to choose it correctly. if you choose a datejust with bright dial colors and too busy functions and markers, of course it will look too flashy. But if you calibrate its design and choose, say, a datejust with clean white dial and roman hour markers to...

    stainless steel vs rubber band. pls help me decide

    yes and no... in 10 years, this stsinless steel bracelet will be full of scratches and the shine will be lost whether you like it or not. it will look "a bit tired" as usually happens with ss steel over time. not that I'm against the bracelet, but I see pluses and minuses in both scenarios...

    Customer support poor experience

    not all suppliers are the same. it depends on who you hit. I do not rule out that the ones you came across are those who avoid communication with clients. but there are also stores with expert and professional relationship with the customers. the last rep watch I bought was from a store where I...

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

    you may be right... reps may indeed be more sensitive than gens... but I don't understand why @Maric , your friend is more indifferent to gens, as they also need special care... the same periodic cleaning, the same polishing once in a while, the same keeping it away from light... after all...

    California dials in rep watches

    I don't really agree with you @PreciousJohn , no offense.... just recently I met a mate who had bought a Hublot Big Bang rep with a dial different from that of the genuine watch.... Instead of thick strips with Lume inside the stick-hour markers, the manufacturers put some grooves that were...
