Probably no, but it would be cool to buy directly from NOOB factory or something equally as cool.
Anyone ever do that here?
I do love the TDs, I am more looking for the experience.

You would be the first if you ever get to visit. Just ready your $100K in investment.

lol it seems like the TD and AD experience doesn't cut it for you, so you would like to try the factory experience

if these factories and/or their operations were so easily found with welcoming arms, then the policemen/rolex/lawyers would be knocking on their door by now

we won't know for certain if there is actually a dedicated 'replica factory' - it could be anything or anywhere that is assembling the watches - at someone's home, or at a legit factory that does 'other' jobs (e.g. the SH 3135 movement is manufactured and/or assembled in a government-owned factory!). Afterall, it's not like a single factory manufactures everything from scratch - these factories rely on specialisation and source their parts from other factories that specialises in certain aspect of the replication procedure

Nobody knows where the factories are. The TD's collect their orders from an agent who collects from factory.. Even the td's doesn't know where the factories are.

The factory is probably a 10x10 room in some slum apartment block in Guangzhou.. wth would you want to go there for hahaha

Of course you can't go to factory, do you go buy a car from factory or could you buy an omega at the omega factory

How stupid can people be...

Watch Outlet offers a semi factory experience I guess. Lower prices with no warranty or shipping insurance.

Don't listen to them, just take the Shuttle Bus that goes direct from the airport to the Noob Factory, there's a full guided tour of the Factory, lunch with the Directors and R&D department then a visit to the Factory Shop, where you'll get a 15% discount on TD prices.

OP, Noob Factory do have a small sales office to the right of the main building, way in the back, down the alley. They have all the models at approximately 50% discount compared to the TDs. @tripdog must refer to the BP factory as they have the shuttle bus program and only 15% discount.

Once in the sales office your will be led to the rooms in the back. They have one room for Rolex, one for Omega and one for the rest.
They take credit cards.

PM me if you want the address.

I didn't think it was too dumb since you are new here, well at least you asked and you satisfied your curiosity.
If you didn't ask, it would be like an itch you can't scratch :)
Sharing is caring!

Well you did offer a bit of insight when you said "Probably no". It meant you realized that this is an illegal hobby and as such the luxury manufacturers would love to know the location of these "factories" so that they can be shut down. None of the people here outside of the dealers and probably some of the OGs could have possibly known about that very guarded secret.

But like @pompompurin said, it was a noobie (and Noob) question that had to be asked. Now you know the answer. ;)

I've seen some youtube videos of Chinese offices where they produce some of these watches and the offices actually looked pretty nice lol. But yeah, the closest experience to visiting a factory will be going to the open markets in China and following the dudes into a shady backroom full of purses and watches...

When you buy a BMW in Germany and have it delivered at the Welt, it basically drives across the street from the factory. IIRC you can actually go watch them build it on a tour. I was a BMW employee for a while, I was planning on it myself.
