    Bell Ross imitations: opinions, reviews, suggestions

    hey, where's the frustration from?)))) your "philosophy" is way out of the normal... millions of watch fans get watches without being sure in what they get. and how do you expect people to "know what they want" until they get it, test it, and relize it fits well. following your logic, no one can...

    good reps under 40mm case: any ideas?

    yes, some ideas :D If there’s room for other styles than those mentioned above, grab this: -Tudor ranger m79950 rep. But don’t get the bracelet one, but the strap one. It’s simple but catches with its matte dial, just like most Tudors having some special detail; -Seiko prospeX Alpinist. Have...

    Lefty Reps: how do they feel?

    you'll be very outrageous to start with the Omega Seamaster Ploprof for your first time experience... I dont know how it really feels on the wrist, but only its bold crown and lug around it doesn't inspire much confidence really it looks like it's gonna perforate the wrist, not to say that you...

    a couple of nice Citizen watches

    not bad t bad... but got a little bored with these standard looks. the Carson silver is far more better looking the these options, if referring to the same steel case+ bracelet style. Attesa satellite timekeeping is also a more interesting ad appealing line. Not to say the Avatar Wave. The...

    sapphire or hesalite: why?

    so many sapphires and hesalites here :DD where're the acrylic lovers? 😂😂😂😂 I own a couple of acrylic watches actually, for the daily wear and tear will do from the two, sapphire is more conforting me. though can't say much about hesalite as never had one🫣

    Your next watch

    I'm planning to get myself a CWC BRITISH MILITARY G10 watch this winter… from what I see in this thread, that’s the most modest watch here :DDDD The idea with it is to close up my collection with military babies. There is a times Metal field watch, a G SHOcK 6900 and a Luminox Evo Naval. With...

    vintage/preowned/new/replica?

    "less-BRANDED"- YOU WANTED TO SAY probably :D so many options here, and each one with pretty convincing arguments indeed)) without a single doubt, all options have pros and cons so it's a pretty tough situation. personally, I align with those who refer to the new piece. for the 1k available...

    When is the watch service required?

    never serviced a rep right at the moment of buying. if it's a mechanical one, you might get it in case you need assistance to wind it for the first time. and even so, I thin you can do it by yourself, it's not a hard task at all. if its a quartz, better yet. they just function once you put the...

    swiss replica vs swiss clone

    I do think there is a difference, and not only in price. swiss reps can be made of 316 stainless steel, which is not a bad option actually. But the gen model is made of 904l stainless steel and that's the main difference. a swiss clone will always follow the main genuine mode, while a swiss rep...

    battery changed and problems appeared

    After changing the battery, also check if the winder is pushed fully into its initial place. Also, might sound crazy, but u can try leaving the watch in a warm place, something like an airing cupboard. A cold environment can encourage the watch to work again by “loosening” the inner mechanism

    Sellita mechanism

    My father owns an Eternal Super Kontiki running on Sellita SW-200-1, performing around +2sec/day. He recently left it in the box for the whole day and wound it the next day with a few spins. He called me and asked me if it was normal that the rotor had begun to spin while he was winding the...

    What feature would make u NOT buy a watch?

    I would never buy a watch with an open-heart and skeleton dial. I would never buy a watch that has the crown integrated into the lugs I would never buy a watch with extremely large lugs I would never buy a watch with a flamboyant and vulgar design With the rest, I can handle it :D

    timepiece or statement piece?

    In the modern era, I think these two purposes complete each other. While the main purpose is the time-indicating function, no watch enthusiast ever buys a watch that doesn’t look attractive and appealing, be it a sports watch or a dress one. Everyone is looking for something special in his...

    carbon replica watches: pros and cons

    What I know about carbon is that it is even lighter than titanium. Can’t say that it is the most durable material for a watch, but at least, it is as resistant to corrosion as ceramic and steel. People thinking of a carbon watch should understand that it still can be broken under extreme...

    reps longevity

    If your main goal is longevity and u aren’t sure that they’re gonna last reliably, there is always the alternative to interchange the rep A2824/2836 with a gen Swiss movement. Further on, you just maintain and service the rep as recommended and you can be sure that it’s gonna last forever. If...

    do you guys admit openly your watch is a replica?

    I’ve also noticed that people change their minds along the way. In the beginning, they are severely reticent to reps until they see that plenty of people around them have them. In the end, they also buy the first rep, then the second, and the third… :D In my case, I prefer staying silent… not...
