Lie one: The foremost copy watches are created in Switzerland, followed closely by Italy.
- This is the largest lie of all. All reproduction watches are made somewhere in asia, principally in China. Don’t believe anyone saying that reproductions are made in Italy or Switzerland because this is a lie designed to get more money out of the unsuspecting.
Lie 2: Replica watches are graded according to quality. Grade C (or whatever) is the lowest and Grade AAA+++ (or whatever) is the highest.
- Who resolves whether it is an “A” or a “C”? the “International Replica Watch Governing Board”? Another lie to part you from your dear dollars.
Lie three: Genuine watch movements and the movements in Swiss-made duplicates are identical. 27 jewel movements are the best.
- (Please go back to the 1st lie.) Far from the truth. Any watchman can tell that replica watch movements aren’t real. There are no twenty-seven jewels movements in replica watches; only twenty-five, 21, or 17.
Lie four: The best replicas will fool a permitted Dealer because they are 99% true to the real.
- This is false. While some could be close to the real, all replicas are flawed. Do you really think you can spend $200 or less and get a watch that is’s 99% matching to a $4,000 - $200,000 watch? As for fooling authorized dealers, perhaps. Common clerks are simply fooled, but seasoned dealers, upon close inspection, will know it’s a replica.
Lie Five: “Swiss-grade” copies have higher gold quality than others. The crown, bezel, and mid links are solid gold and the full-gold copies are 5-wrapped (or 6-wrapped, or whatever).
- The watch is generally gold-plated, or double or triple-wrapped in gold, though some models have been seen to have solid gold mid links, like Rolex copies. (”Search” for threads on how this is done.).
Lie six: The best Rolex duplicates are created with 904L grade steel.
- Huge fat lie. 440L quality steel is used to make good replicas. 940L steel costs three times as much as 440L, and it’s only utilised by Rolex; this is the reason why they’re so costly.
Lie seven : If you use sellers from “Replica Review” sites, buying a reproduction watch isn’t as dangerous.
- These “review” sites are really incestuous, and they’re run by the folks who are recommended. It’s straightforward enough to be taken in by their lies because they’re so intelligent.
Lie eight: You can tell you’re getting a good watch after a thorough examination of the web site.
- Please. If you think everything displayed on the internet is true, you should be flogged. Con sites lie about everything from their purchaser satisfaction guarantee to the standard of their goods. Pictures of genuine watches are even posted!
Lie nine: You won’t have difficulty with your watch if you choose a good seller.
- We wish. QC in duplicate watch factories is hit-and-miss, but mostly shoddy. A batch may be O.K, but the following one might be duds. (Remember that even in China, it’s illegal to make replica watches. Copy watch “factories” are usually little operations that can be simply moved or concealed from meddling authorities.) There are some good dealers, however, that could fix whatever is wrong to protect his name.
Lie ten: Paying by COD is the most effective way to get the cheapest price. Plus, you can inspect your watch before paying the courier to make certain you get what you paid for.
- A very dumb thing to do and a big red flag that you are dealing with a real con-man. They need cash because they know you’ll scream foul to your credit card company the moment you see the junk you paid $1,000 for.
- One last point. Remember, replica watches are counterfeit products, even the best quality Swiss copy Hybrids. In most nations, although it’s not illegal to have or purchase reproduction watches, selling them is not legal. When conversing with credit card companies or using Paypal, remember this.
