Guys, be nice here, he's in Bali, typical rent, $300 a month USD, a nice meal? $4. The min wage there is ~ $150 a month!

But FYI, anything up to a couple of minutes a day is in my book ok.

Once you've got half a dozen watches, it's irrelevant, they're always stopped and on the wrong date when you pick them up to wear anyway.

Be honest who's put a watch on and looked at it hours later to find it's on totally the wrong time and date?

If YOU are satisfied with the watch, then everything is fine.
We all somehow gained our experiences and (more or less) paid our dues.
They got away relatively easily with around $120.
Spend a little more time reading the forum and get to know the differences and qualities of the individual manufacturers.
However, you will find that you no longer like your current watch once you become more informed about what you can get for around $500 ootb.
Have fun with your watch and in the forum

Bang on there.



Facebook shitter on the right, Clean V3 on the left. My first and my latest.
About 18 months?

Looking at that pic, should probably spend more on phones and less on watches! 😉

My Snoopy Silver Award Anniversary loses about 10 minutes a day, but I still sometimes wear it. I have terrible timing myself, so it's like a kindred spirit.
I actually dont Care that this looses 1 min a day. Just wanted too know what to expect from more expensive clones. 🙂

watches are for show,- smartphones are for telling the time... , lets face it, wearing reps we're just trying to come across as something we are not. I wear my RM Rafael Nadal whilst handing you your XL meal with large fries and pepsi getting called out al the time but it makes me feel like a gazzillionaire!!!!!!!!

Hi, which movement in this watch ? 1 minute/day is too much. You can get a 80$ watch with a very accurate NH35... Concerning rep, GDF makes rep watches for 150$ with a good Miyota.

I'd geuss it's a dg3804 ultra cheap movement. The hand stack is incorrect for this model. I've had units that kept incredible time but this was def the exception.

Telling time with a RM is an art of its own.

BTW my 114060 runs +5sec/day

An NH35 is specced at -20 to +40 seconds per day.
Can it be regulated better? Yes.
Could p0pperini's Snoopy be better? Yes.
Does it matter? Really? No.

No, my watch can tell time just like my iPhone. And it’s pathetic if only your watch can show.

Totally, 100% agree, ask me the time or the date and my reaction is to look at my watch, not fumble around getting my phone out, and then to be annoyed I put a no date on that morning!
I wear a watch all the time, normally my Starbucks or my Seamaster 300 on a NATO unless I've picked up something else recently.

It's always given more but the nh35 is very accurate. No need to regulate it usually !

Hi all,

Im on Bali at the moment and just bought my first rep Watch. Its not a super clone but its a pretty good copy. I Will probably still buy a superclone or maybe more than one 😄 I Can see that the watch i Got is about 60 sek off on a hole day. So that Got me thinking. How precise are the super watches? Because a min a day is a little much.
Where in Bali did you buy it? Off a beach vendor or at a store?

I bought a DSOTM from Bagus Watch in Bali years ago, did well until the battery stopped. I only bought it for the 'fun' of it. Was OK, nothing like the reps around today and here, but it served it's time well. Cost me $90 AUD

Well, it was the best to get here...😂 I don't mind spending the 100 dollars to try the watch out. Size and so. Every funktion works fine. I actually tried to place an order on a real one, but it was impossible. Next will be a super clone probably. But it needs to be at least 41mm so prob submariner.

well said about impossible.. my friend tried. keyword: tried to buy a gen

but what the hell is going on with rolex these days.. he's on a 8 year waiting list AND the submariner he wanted had a price hike up to $15k i think.. it was $9k before..

rolex not only hiked prices but then there;'s yearlong waitlists...

what.. the.. hell.. is.. going.. on..
