Hi I just joined today after seeing r/Reptime on Reddit . I'm a Brit living in Thailand. Does anyone know if any good Rolex super clones are available here - or even made here?
Thanks!

I was out there a while, only every saw the cheap $50 replicas. Let us know if you do find a source as I'll be back out again this winter. Hope you're having fun out there!

You could try nembo who runs things over on RepGeek. He was living in Thailand pre-pandemic, although not entirely sure what he's up to now as we've not been in touch for quite some time. He has a sub-forum on RG where he often sells lower-end reps, but may be able to help by suggesting the best TDs supplying to that region.

So you'll find a lot of dealers in MBK Center. Some are more or less reliable. They've got lots of ZF, CF, PPF, 3KF.
Prices are pretty standard and not far from trusted dealers. For those based in Thailand, that makes sense as the customs make it very difficult to receive packages from abroad.

For most vendors, they won't put the watches on display but have a catalogue ready to be browsed through and then propose to go and pick up the watch for you. Some have it in hidden places on their stand. Quite the experience all in all!

More on this on that thread where I also posted some watches found on the 3rd floor of MBK:

So MBK is the only place to go in Bangkok to find decent replicas? Other ideas?

Thanks

Lots of other shops in there too but I didn't interact with them at all.

FAR better than MBK thats for sure, pure vultures with garbage there.

Hi JRider,
Any luck to find a quality watch source in BKK? I will soon be going there from Europe and hope to find a good piece.

Have you tried these guys? https://instagram.com/watchchalee__official?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

They have a shop at The Paseo Park and they will also go to your condo for around 300 to 500bt depending on where you live. I paid for them to come to my condo but I might go and check out their shop soon.

I brought a Submariner super clone for a friend in the States and took it over last month, I was very impressed. I had no clue about the rep world before but now I'm finding myself quite deep in the rep rabbit hole.

They seem to be on the pricey side THB 28,900 (USD 770) for Submariner and THB 39,900 (USD 1,050) for a Daytona. However, they do claim to offer a life time guarantee and been in the rep business for more than 20 years. Their social media also appears to have a very good following. At least you can do your own QC up close.

I wish I knew what I know now before buying as I had no clue about the different factories and versions of the watches all of which seem to have different strengths. The one point I find frustrating with these guys is they won't tell you which factory your watch is from, they say it's a secret but they will guarantee the watch. It's kinda putting me off buying one for myself. I'm interested in the Submariner CF (apparently better case) or VSF (apparently better movement). My issue is the premium price and no factory info vs a "gurantee", your own QC and you can have it on your wrist in a couple of hours.....rock and a hard place springs to mind!

Please let me know if you come across any other good dealers.

To each is own but I honestly don;t like the fact that they will not tell you what factories they are from. I would prefer to buy from a TD or a local dealer who will tell you what your getting.

I'm not experience enough to know all the little differences between factories that make one better than the other with my naked eye.

Thanks for the info though as some people may go this route.

I don't have the name of the shop but if you look above it gives general directions. I also looked up a few videos of the mall and finally found a walk by in one of them. The following video at 3:27 is the shop I specifically went to.

Hope this helps.
