How close is this to Authentic?

[jkgoff2007]

Just curious of how high of quality this is? Or is it just that expensive because of the solid gold dial? I'm new at this , but I cant seem to find an authentic one like this? What watch can I buy that is closest to an Authentic ( any brand) ? I am looking for something that I just need to modify slightly for starters until I get better and know what I am doing.
Thanks

Honestly... at first glance it may not be that bad, but no rep has EVER come close to the detail and craft that goes into Patek.....

I would never never spend over 1.500 bucks in a rep....

Back is wrong and i dont know if they make a textured dial like that.

A partner at my firm wears one of these, but with second @ 6 (I believe it's manual wind).

It's really gorgeous, (quite tiny though... looks to me... about 34 or 36 mm).

yeah, I also think 1.5K is a bit too much for a rep. It's quite nice looking though.

Ya gotta be one BIG ass Patek fan to pay that kind of money for a rep. If you're going to spend $1500 on a watch, why the HELL would you buy a rep that, as sure as the sun will come up tomorrow, will be dead in five to ten years? I can think of about 30 or 40 gens that you could pick up for that much. And I can think of about a million and a half things I'd rather spend $1500 on than a watch anyway. Hence, my love of Reps.

I agree with the others who say that $1,500 is a heavy price to pay for a replica watch. Even though it is solid 18k gold there can only be a few hundred dollars worth of gold in that case.
For a rep that is close to genuine, have a look at the Omega SMPs or the Perfect Clones Aqua Terra with alligator strap and ETA 2892 "clone" movement.

$1.5K for a replica :shock: :shock:

You have got to be kidding me! I suppose Andrew and Josh have been reading all these posts about cruising the Med etc and decided we can afford to pay more.

Do you really believe it has a solid gold case?? Gold plate yes,but solid gold......I kinda doubt it.

Just my 2c on the 4th
