I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I moved this from the introduction section. I bought a cheaper replica. I don't even know what the movement is on it. I've been reading on the forum other threads where people critique a replica. I know this datejust is a cheap model. I paid less than 100 bucks for it, and of course I ordered it before I found this site so I didn't know about trusted dealers. I know some basic things to look for and I've found some details that are sub par on this watch. I was wondering if any of you just by looking at the pics can pick anything out? I am surprised with how it keeps time though. It runs for 2 days after I manually wind it and keeps absolute perfect time, but in two days it dies and I have to manually wind it again. I don't really mind that though. I just ordered a few days ago the explorer 2 from Tony at Asian7750 after finding him in the trusted dealers section. Tony said with my new watch it will just keep on running with the motion like a Rolex. Also, does anyone know if I can take it to my watch repair man and have him adjust something so the one I have runs like it should? or do you think that's just the way it is going to be with this watch? From reading other posts I don't know if I even want to mess with it. Maybe just leave it like it is. Thanks in advance again. In one way I am very happy to have found this site. Your guys info has been very educating, but on the other hand it's horrible because now I want to get more and more after seeing some of your collections. They are amazing.
Here are some pics of my 99 dollar datejust.
There are no markings on it. The company advertised that there were, and their pictures showed the markings, but mine doesn't have any of them. It was supposed to be a datejust, but the dial says "Explorer" lol. No etchings or serial numbers, and the bars and numbers are not the neatest. I didn't clean the watch before taking the pics, and this was the first time I used macro on my camera, so sorry about the quality, but if anyone has any critiques let me know. Thank you.
