    with 95% similarity of reps, would u still opt for a gen?

    Why this theory??)) reps will ever be 95% similar… maybe, from an aesthetic point of view-it’s possible. But the technique of manufacturing, assembling, processing the inner components, and all this stuff can never be reproduced. NOT TO MENTION ABOUT MOVEMENTS. Would you believe in a TESLA...

    do you trust reps ads?

    No, I don’t. My wife used to order all kinds of shit from unknown Chinese sites appearing through social media ads. Each time it was s total trash including clothes, home apparel, and hair utensils. Cheap and trashy stuff sold at cosmic prices. So, no thanks. I’m to going to support any new...

    testing the rep watch, before buying...

    This is why I always try to buy reps from dealers that offer the chance to return the watch back. Even if you test the rep watch of your Fred on your wrist and buy a similar one, thinking it will look like the one of your friend’s, it doesn’t mean that you’ll get an identical one. Each replica...

    904 or 316 stainless steel in your replica watches?

    Most Omega watches are made of 316l stainless steel, if not all of them. So, I don’t see a problem with this material. If such a brand as Omega opts for it, why do you think it is a doubtful material? Tag Heuer uses it for most of its watches, including the racer watches. You talk like this...

    vintage/preowned/new/replica?

    Honestly, from all 4 versions, I see the preowned option as the most ok for me. As other members here said, I think buying a precious vintage is a pretty complicated experience. Doesn’t make sense to buy a new watch, if you find a decent pre owned watch. Some pre-owned pieces are in very good...

    Sellita mechanism

    When researching for my first mechanical watch, I was spotting pieces running on ETA 2824 and Sellita SW 200. At that moment, most sources suggested them for their accuracy and easy serviceability. So, I got an Oris running on SW-200. Kinda satisfied for the first period, until I got some other...

    what's the reasonable price for a watch repair?

    About 2 years ago I got an MRG 130 for repair. Servicing was 25$ for the repair of the display and backlight regulation. Also, the hands didn’t move properly, so the expert fixed that too. It took about 2 hours. Idk if it is a reasonable price but at that moment, just wanted my watch to work...

    Rolex Submariner Vintage

    Why don’t u consider a sea dweller instead, if the WR is so crucial to you? The 16600 lines would suit u, especially if you opt for a Neo vintage model… sturdy and reliable like a rock

    with 95% similarity of reps, would u still opt for a gen?

    spicy discussion here ))))) I think we are talking here about an inexistent hypothesis... reps will never achieve 95% similarity, no matter how hard rep factories try... the reasons are exposed above: expertise, techniques, NDA processes etc... some reps come with a great physical shape but the...

    Some crucial truths about replica watches

    I was always reticent about the “swiss” reps, but couldn’t believe that some stores that seemed so convincing could deceive such a huge amount of people, making them believe that. Agree that it’s unlikely that Switzerland is involved in such schemes. But don’t agree that there are no different...

    do you guys admit openly your watch is a replica?

    I own both gens and a couple of reps. it's kinda impossible (for me at least) to have s lot of gen watches. it is a bit spicy for my budget. S I combine them usually. do I say about it openly? yes, absolutely. my close friends know my position about reps and dome of them are on the same page...

    800$ for a Daytona rep: is it a reasonable price?

    A co-worker had a rep Submariner WM9 for around 900$ 7 years ago. Served well and worked smoothly. Only changed the crystal because of an accident cracking it completely. If you balance the pros and the cons, you might find the answer to your question

    timepiece or statement piece?

    for me the priority is the time-indicating purpose. no need in chunky and flamboyant design to love my watch. I love the watch for its precision and long service. that's what matters on the first place

    Acetone as a solution for movement cleaning

    never tried acetone on watch movements. bud did tried on my self. My little daughter polished my nails one while folding around with her and had to remove it with acetone. didn't like the feeling. the skin got irritated and dry. I suppose it doesn't cause the same effect on the steel compounds...

    Bulova... opinions required

    A close friend of mine wearing a Bulova 96B230 and I remember him saying that it was a watch to remember and not to fall in love with at first sight :D indeed the watch didn’t have Buch of special in it except a large 42mm case and a conventional fluted bezel. But my friend loved it for its...

    PP 5070: what's so special about it?!

    Help me get it, please… The model looks extremely large for a watch. Not only is the dial large, but the bezel is much larger, making the whole picture giant. I suppose that it’s all about the Lemania running in it. But, OTOH these movements are predominantly collectible instead of wearable. In...
