This entirely depends on the watch you are buying. We will always tell you of any flaws in terms of how close our watches are to the authentic version.

An automatic movement uses kinetic energy to power itself. This means that no battery is used within the watch. A quartz movement is a battery-powered movement. Most high-end authentic watches use automatic movements.

Just like an authentic watch, this entirely depends on how well you treat your watch. An automatic watch should be taken to your local watch-smith for servicing every year, approximately. This will ensure that all parts are well-oiled and in the correct position, keeping the parts in good condition and running for a long time. Realistically if you take good care of your watch and get it serviced regularly, your watch can last for many years, just like its authentic counterpart.

A chronograph is a small dial on the watch’s face. Some watches may have 1 chronograph and some can have 4+. They are usually used to show seconds, a stopwatch function, or show times for different time zones. All of our watches with chronographs have fully functioning chronographs, just like the authentic version (unless stated otherwise).

Our suggestion would be “Try to get genuine watches”. There is no way high-end replicas from any factories are flawless. You should start making price comparisons between genuine and replicas. Let’s say, you want a Rolex Daytona 116518, price of the genuine watch is around $25,000 while the high-end replica is around $900. Will you expect flawlessly? There is always a flaw even though only a very small one. But a high-end replica is very close to a genuine one, probably 90%-95%.

Our suggestion would be “Try to get genuine watches” again. Most of the high-end replica watches are only gold plated which is only about 10 microns thick, and some factories made it thicker around 30 microns with real gold, and the price will be consequently higher. But there are no solid gold replica watches.

The fact is that replica watches are made in, and the majority of their parts are sourced from, China. A few sellers are selling hand-building higher-quality rep watches based in places in Europe or Asia, but 98% of rep dealers come from mainland China. Any site or anyone that tells you that their watches are made by Swiss watchmakers, or made in Italy, Japan, or whatever they are just scamming you.

There are only quite rare replicas made by replica factories with genuine Swiss ETA. Most of the high-end replica movements are a clone of it, called Asian ETA. You may come across a replica that features a genuine Swiss movement sometimes but even that be careful – often the movement will turn out to be a Chinese copy (which is fine if that’s what you’re paying for – in fact, most of the Chinese movements are pretty much as good as the Swiss equivalent anyhow).

Please kindly remember, we are on different sides of our planet sometimes. Please refer to our time zone before you judge this. Our working hour is based on the Chinese time zone. Sometimes we have overload emails or chats to respond to as well, please be kindly patient. But one thing is for sure: you will get a reply for sure.

But I think you are asking the wrong person! If you suspect a thief and ask “are you a thief?”, what do you think the answer would be? The best thing you can do is start making judgments from many aspects of the website, the profile, the updates, testimony, rep forums, and people, or just risk yourself for a try. There are always some points you should notice if the seller real or not. 

Sorry, we can not! I believe that you know we run a replica business, which can be done only underground.
