    round or rectangular?

    Acetone as a solution for movement cleaning

    Definitely wrong… The residues left by the acetone would gradually “eat” the surface of the compounds. It’s an ongoing chemical process with bad consequences in the long term… The brake cleaner I usually use leave no traces and evaporates right away after being applied… camp fuel and all...

    Rolex or Grand Seiko?:D

    No one can produce bracelets comparable with Rx. At least, Seiko can’t and it would require years to get to the Rolex level in bracelet making. But consider, that meanwhile Rolex will also upgrade reaching higher levels than now. So, there will always be miles away between these brands. Not bad...

    is there anything u would change in Rolex vector if u were its CEO?

    nothing to change there… the brand is what it is namely because of its management… not all brands have to be perfect… sometimes bad marketing is also marketing and if this is the cost for being among the best, then this is it.

    CF Daytona rep Advice

    agree with @howdyREP ... get prepared for an epic with the returning process... Your 4130 clone is by far the worst one. Same issues can appear with genuine too. It happens sometimes and no one is void of such issues. I really think it’s the case to take it to a service boutique. If the...

    Sellita mechanism

    As far as I know, the Sellita SW 200 is based on ETA 2824-2 and ETA 2836-2. Why don’t u seek an expert in this type of ETAs? Might be helpful to make watch expertise. But before that, I also think u should check another battery

    what's the reasonable price for a watch repair?

    Imho, 60% of the $160 watch for a repair service is too much. I would believe it if it was a Rolex or another luxury piece having in-house movements that are sometimes difficult to replace or to find details for it. But for a Seiko, don’t really think that it’s difficult to repair it, even if...

    swiss replica vs swiss clone

    I interacted with both Swiss clones and “regular” Swiss-made reps. Can’t really say to have spotted any visual difference, except for the price. I think those Swiss-made reps that have a questionable look and are not close enough to the genuine watches, can be “scam” pieces. Maybe dealers sell...

    would u opt for quality instead of quantity? Or vice versa?

    the Patrimony is worth all the money. it's better to have a smaller watch collection with impressive and iconic models than a large one with...how to express correctly?!... more modest watches... with all due respect to Cartier and Hamilton, these are great brands as well. But think that many...

    IWC New release

    it's like we are all blind here 😂 talking about some watches without having their pics in the thread😂 I resonate with both models, honestly For pilot’s watches, these look fairly exquisite. No impairments in legibility, good dial contrast, great chronograph balance on the watch face. The green...

    What about the TAG Heuer and Porsche fusion?

    what did u expect for a gold case?)

    What about the TAG Heuer and Porsche fusion?

    I think a great watch house fused with a great car maker. The partnership couldn’t be more successful. I believe TAG Heuer knows perfectly that there are fewer admirers of the red watches than the white/blue versions. This is why the limited edition limits to only 250 pieces of the red version...

    scam ain't disappeared

    thanks for the subject @hATeAndLovewaTCheS!!! indeed helpful and actual!!! The rep industry is both great and risky. the more people seek rep items, the bigger the scam octopus becomes with its tentacles. Scammers find millions of ways to deceive customers. some time ago, online marketplaces...

    omega imitations

    Don’t go for the cheapest nor for the most expensive… for a medium price u can get a really nice Seamaster. Asian movements aren’t bad but if u want a long-term watch, look better for a Swiss-made movement

    replica watches criteria for buying

    great topic to discuss here @cheetahapple!!! Many, extremely many people don't know how to correctly buy a rep watch. a lot of my acquaintances just fall into the trap of social media ads offering reps and claiming to sell the best reps. they never search for anything else than just good-looking...

    Got stuck in watches models

    imho, it's never enough to inspect the visual look of the rep. dig deeper about the movement and the materials used. I suppose that the physical store you came across might have its own website since it is probably an international seller. try to find more info about the site, reviews and stuff...

    carbon replica watches: pros and cons

    I had the possibility to test a carbon Luminox for a couple of months. In terms of lightweight and comfort- great watches. The pro about carbon watches is that even though there are some scratches, they are practically invisible to the naked eye. It’s like the plastic on G-shocks, you can hardly...
