Hi all, i always hate to hear that "it's rep, don't expect that it is as perfect as a genuine". I think we all know that we are buying a rep., so the movement and other materials used, etc. should not be those used in genuine watches, but for the price we pay, we are expecting a properly built watch. For example, in my place of living, for a seiko, it costs around $300, a citizen or even a cheaper casio, u can see that everything of their outlook is perfect, u can hardly find a noticeable flaw in them. But for these reps., it's easy to find some. I'm not saying some very picky things, like the spacing of the wording in the dial of the rep. is not the same as that of genuine, but some cases like poor painting in the numbers of the bezel insert, and even fall apart of the fliplock after ten times of open and close (my personal experience). So, maybe it's even more wise to spend our penny on those japanese cheap watches rather than on these rep., for which there are always people shouting "it's a rep.! Don't expect too mucH'. And I tell u guys, I buy two Steinhart watches, swiss made with genuine swiss ETA movements, which cost around $450 including shipping, u can feel that are solid and keeps time extremely well, and even for accuracy regulation, Steinhart even covers the shipping costs back and forth!!!!! and I know that it's costly!!!! So, for the price we pay, I think is NOT cheap at all, and the manufactures and TD should and can do better. Thank you!
