Had a friend buy me a crap replica from China

WOW this is total crap.


My friend went to China and I think he must have bought it for like 20 dollars.

Some observations:
The back has nothing on it (nothing like what Carreras should have)
Chronograph doesn't work.
Automatic movement works fine.
Labels seem completely off.

It says "CHRONOMETRE" underneath the date, which I guess is plausible since that is how the British people spell it but... I have never seen a carrera with it.

I will post pictures soon.

I just looked at some pictures of good reps and it seems like I don't want to keep this....

Actually I guess TACHYMETRE label is usually spelled METRE too so I guess that part is okay, although it's usually supposed to say automatic.

Not the British! Not with Chronometers. Continentals maybe, but not us.

We spell meter (an instrument) the same way as in the US. We don't call them parking metres, or speedometres.

The metre (SI unit of length) is, however, spelt as written in the UK, and is only spelt meter outside Europe. The French invented it so I suppose that's why we spell it their way.

I think even the gens have TACHYMETRE spelled with "TRE"

Yes, I agree that since it's an SI unit, it should be spelled with one way: METER
