So yesterday my first replica watch arrived from Japan.
A Tudor 7928 Submariner. I bought it on a whim, not knowing what I was getting myself into. Been reading up on this specific model and looking at pictures from genuine models.
This one looks pretty OK to my untrained eye. But I do have a lot of questions regarding this watch.
What can you specialists tell me about it?
The bezel is bi-directional, feels a bit scratchy but fairly tight. No free-spinningness. The insert looks wrong. The pip is too bright and the angles on the triangle are blunt.
The dial and hands look slightly aged, the "swiss" marking looks too white, although the "TU" and "yster-" bits are exactly as white as the "swiss" marking.
The lume looks a bit too crisp.
Can't say anything about the crown or caseback. Movement, apart from the "tudor" mark has no other signs of numbers etc...
How would you rate this replica in terms of quality? What would you change about it? Are you folks able to give me any clues about it's origin? Aparantly there are a lot of manufacturers making cases and parts for it...
Anyways... Time for some pictures.
cheers!
