About Replica Watches
Most of China top replica watches are come from Guangdong, especially Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Jieyang and so on. After 1979, as Guangdong’s special location and society economic become an reform and opening test area, is allowed to implement special policies and flexible meatures. Set off a new round of reform and opening to the outside world in 1992. Reform and opening up the Pearl River Delta to continue to develop in depth, reached a climax in introducing foreign capital, the infrastructure and various construction surged, the economic run fast, the process of industrialization accelerate, through 10 years development, Guangdong already have the world-class light industrial park, the first-class metal processing capacity. Especially shenzhen, the period of reform and opening, in order to develop accessories industry and manufacturing, a lot of hongkong and taiwan funded enterprises access to shenzhen. Driven by these enterprises, Shenzhen has formed a complete industrial chain of watches production processing and sales. Shenzhen watches occupy a leading position in the country, accounting for 60% of national output, accounting for 45% of the world, Shenzhen brand watches accounted for more than 70% of the domestic market. China Light Industry Federation and China Watch Association officially awarded the Shenzhen “The Chinese Watches Capital”, Shenzhen is the only city to receive this title.
Where the top replica watches come from?
Where there is darkness there is light. Relying on the complete watch industrial chain of Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Dongguan, here not only the production and sale of brand watches, many replica watches also thrive here.
Actually, the replicas have many classes, according to the workmanship can be divided into low clone, ordinary clone, top clone and super clone. We thought the top replicas are from the family workshop, in fact, they are produced by profession watch factories. The family workshop only the most simple assembly capability, now a huge amount of top replica watches supplier impossible to rely on the family workshop, and the workmanship of the top replicas cannot do well rely on family workshops
Now, there are many legends about a replica watch factory, it is said that, it is a underground factory, secretly produce the top replicas, these legends just the salesman want increase the sales online, stories increase of mystery. The producing of top replica watches is absolutely impossible rely on one underground factory, but it is rely on the corporation of some factories. In the middle of them, the most important is the sponsors. The sponsors need forecast the market, then decide the watch style, they will purchase the original watch, it will be completely disassembled, sent different part to different manufacturer, such as, movement manufacturer, case manufacturer, bracelet manufacturer, dial manufacturer, the outer packing manufacturer. Asking them to produce same as original 1:1, at last, these parts will be collected by the sponsors, then assembly by the specialized factory.
Also, the watches parts manufacture is absolutely impossible rely on one underground factory, and it is absolutely the regular factory after the formal registration, and some of them belong to the subsidiaries of listed companies. Those factories not only rely on by producing the parts of the top replica watches to alive, but also producing brand watches parts. Their level of producing and processing environment even better than some State-owned brand. (Ps, what I known is that one of State-owned brand unable to produce the parts, also by guangzhou enterprises.)
The top replica watches with so high degree of processing in following pictures, all depend on those formal factories cooperation. According to the ” The people’s Republic of China Criminal Law ” article 213, production of top replica watches is illegal, why those formal factories willing to do this on risk? for money? Because their components productions without brand logo. Formal factory only produce the parts same as original, it isn’t illegal. This is just a part of the whole producing process of top replicas, really broke the law is the sponsors.
High replica watches the process of production
The logo just appear at the case, dial, and clasp of a brand watch, the sponsors looking for the formal manufacturers to produce blank components without logo, then send the blank components to family workshops to engrave the logo, it don’t need high technology, and It is very easy to find the dial printing and metal lettering technology in Guangzhou.
I found this industry is very complex, because top replica is illegal, muddy waters particularly.
1. A same style of top replica, have many sponsors, even the same sponsors have several versions. Different version difference price. Some salesman sell low version with high price.
2, Price is seriously ,especially now someone sells high replica watch on website , their price is much more higher than agent, the most exaggerated is up to $900.
3. Seagull movement posing with Swiss ETA movement, to reap huge profits.
4. Some salesman sell the high replica watches very well, the replicas are all perfect, but it is absolute there is a qualitative difference between original watches and replica watches.
Finally, give you a word – “Be careful to buy a watch, whether original or replica, no one gets something for nothing.”

Revealing the china replica watches industry chainthough we may be unwilling to admit it, but in fact, a large and mature replica watch-making industrial chain has been formed in China imperceptibly
Most of China top replica watches are come from Guangdong, especially Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Jieyang and so on. After 1979, as Guangdong’s special location and society economic become an reform and opening test area, is allowed to implement special policies and flexible meatures.

According to the ” The people’s Republic of China Criminal Law ” article 213, production of top replica watches is illegal, why those formal factories willing to do this on risk? for money? Because their components productions without brand logo. Formal factory only produce the parts same as original, it isn’t illegal. This is just a part of the whole producing process of top replicas, really broke the law is the sponsors.
High replica watches the process of production
The logo just appear at the case, dial, and clasp of a brand watch, the sponsors looking for the formal manufacturers to produce blank components without logo, then send the blank components to family workshops to engrave the logo, it don’t need high technology, and It is very easy to find the dial printing and metal lettering technology in Guangzhou.
Depending on the technologies of the formal factories, the components production innovation of the top replica watches is very fast, is more faster than State-owned brand, even Swiss brands. Especially the change of watchcase materials, from stainless steel, titanium to bronze, ceramic and carbon fiber.
2015 SIHH Panerai launched the PAM604, hand-carved by the Italian sculptor, limited 99 pieces, it is very perfect. Now, Guangzhou already launched the replica.
The case, strap, and dial are easily processing, then where is the movement manufacturer come from? Now, the top replica watch movement come from domestic manufacturers. For example Seagulls, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Dandong and Mingzhu. Among them, the most mainly is Tianjin Seagull Watch Group. The Seagull ST18 copy the ETA 2892, the Seagull ST21 copy the ETA 2824, the Seagull ST3600 copy the ETA 6497, these three movements accounted for more than half of high replica watch movements. Like the other formal factory, the Seagull Watch Group does not provided any brand logo movement to the replicas sponsor. The sponsor need to find factory to second modify and assembly the movements.



Original Longines, Mido, Tissot, IWC , Cartier as a basis to ETA movement. The top replica watch manufacturers purchase the blank seagull movements do the following processing, for polishing the movements, adding the brand logo.

Remove the rotor from the movement


Engraving machine and the console

End product after sculpting

Some rotors will polished the Geneva on it
It’s worthy of attention, once the China can’t make a complete Geneva, a lot of friends distinguish the between replicas and originals through look the movement have a complete Geneva or not. In fact, I discovered the difficulties already resolved in the China, they can polished the Geneva same as authenticity, but it cost too much, not all replicas will polish the Geneva. Now don’t use the method to identify the watch is original or replica, especially Tissot and Mido, those two brand replicas is very much like the original.If said that the original watches use the Swiss ETA movement, the top replica watches only equipped with the Seagull movement after process. Many original watches use the movement produced by themselves, it can’t find on the market, the top replica watch factories in order to get “perfect”, will transform the movements, for example, the following replica AP watch. adding a layer of plywood on the 2824 movement, then replace a sculpture rotor.
The method of distinguish of orginal watches and top replica watchesIt is very common that the replica watch use the movement after transformation. But some top replica watch factories even copy the brand watch movement. Among the most representative is the ROLEX 3135.



Though this replica 3135 movement with a lot of defects, but it doubtless that it’s a milestone of Chinese high replica watches. High replica watch manufacturers already transfer from simple case processing to complex movement.Some pictures again ,left is original, right is replica.
Show some high replica watches, they are very perfect. And how to distinguish the orginal and replica?Tudor pelagos watch, a original one and a replica one, the replica one also use the titanium material.
The pictures on the WeChat, 43 people distinguish, only seven people get the right answer! ! !Answer: Steel bracelet is original, the method of distinguish is observe the color of the crown and nitrogen discharge valve, the color is deeper than the watchcase, but the replica is same color.Rolex Yachtmaster, one original, one replica.
The pictures on the WeChat, 147 people distinguish, 68 people get the right answer! ! !Answer: Right is original. The fastest way is to identify: Use 10x magnifying glass to observe watches font.Now there are a lot of brands do not use common fonts, but exclusive custom font for security, Beginning of this article talked about the high replica watches manufacturer looking for formal factory to produce, but all without logo. Finally, the dials need printing the logo, because the formal factories would not to do this, most of high replica watches manufacturer need looking for the family workshops to printing logo. So the part of dial easily slip up. But, it is not absolute to distinguish the watches rely on the fonts, some formal factories also accept the printing logo of top replica watches, of course, except the low replica watches.
Left original, right replica, please note the font of the words “SWISS MADE”, and the original watch luminous very even smear, the replicas did not.
Conclusion:












I found this industry is very complex, because top replica is illegal, muddy waters particularly.
1. A same style of top replica, have many sponsors, even the same sponsors have several versions. Different version difference price. Some salesman sell low version with high price.
2, Price is seriously ,especially now someone sells high replica watch on website , their price is much more higher than agent, the most exaggerated is up to $900.
3. Seagull movement posing with Swiss ETA movement, to reap huge profits.
4. Some salesman sell the high replica watches very well, the replicas are all perfect, but it is absolute there is a qualitative difference between original watches and replica watches.
Finally, give you a word – “Be careful to buy a watch, whether original or replica, no one gets something for nothing.”
