My moderately fair experience. Hulk photos

[Yur]

Hi to all of my trusted society!
Wirst of all i need to say- i have many real swiss wathces on eta and other calibers.
Now I have got my first replica 116610LV with 3135 caliber.
And thats a bad (or maybe i am over demanding?) experience and thats are the reasons why:

1.Watches ariived and hands was stopped- i thought that it was normal for the shipping process.
But after i winded them (25-30 clockwise ) it helped me only for the day. Real reserve time is about 2-5 hours and not stable at all.
It seems i cant hear the automatic winding mechanism which i can hear on my real ETA calibers. Should i?

2.It has internal noticeable ~0,5mm dent on the "rolexrolex" dial ring. Can be seen on 28 minutes position

3.Data lens has misalingment (glued or processed in that way i do not how to describe well)

4.Bolts on the links are good except one-it has real noticeable scratch.


What you recommend to do?
Seller says that he had shown me the QC photos before but all of them was made under the angles where i couldnt see the defects. He says me that now i need send them back for a repair .

Womust pay for that from your opinion my trusted friends?

Of course #2,3,4 are not the real trouble.
But #1 is over of my understanding

PS.Even if you offer to send them back- this "TD" site is not workig at all!

You can't possibly be serious right? This is a joke thread poking fun at OCD Rep owners?

It must be a joke and is pretty funny. OP has obviously had enough of these ridiculously moronic nitpickers.

That's exactly why I always mark the box and pay $12 extra for lifetime warranty!

He's a comedic genius and it needs to be pinned if it is.

Genius thread OP. Next would be a review on the amount of bacteria on the dial itself! Bad bad bad Factory hygiene compared to Gen factories

Weak power reserve is common with the 3135 clones, replacing the main spring with a genuine Rolex main spring solves the problem. The auto-wind module would also benefit from being cleaned and lubricated correctly.
Send the watch to a watchmaker.

You took your well-deserved beating like a man. Tripdog’s advice is solid. Send the watch out to a rep friendly watchsmith for a look
-over and servicing.

Lol
All joking aside... Which factory is the hulk from btw?

 

[reptime101]

Thanks for the opinion! The main problem is not the small reserve time but the fact that it is UNSTABLE! It may work for a day and on the next day (with the same winding before) it may stop immediately.
The second problem is that seller`s site is not working (but he is still in TD list) and i am not feeling safe to send them back.

Don't send it back to China, it'll be gone for 3 months and may not even get delivered to the TD. Send it to a watchmaker.

Keep in mind, these watches are assembled in a dark cellar by underage Cambodian immigrant women who are often still nursing and holding their baby in one arm, while with the other arm they assemble your watch. Sending that watch back to that place for a movement switch makes very little sense. A trusted watchmaker (there's a list here on this forum) will fix the problem competently and within a couple of weeks.

I have disassembled it for revision and have found some of the reasons of that
1.Crown gasket torn part.
2. Many!(3 parts ) of metal chips inside
3.scratched red wheels because of winders central bearing relatively big(0,5 mm) misalignment.

Some closeups if you r interested attached

Crown gasket torn rubber part

Have to remember these are replicas. The movements are known to have issues
