Shiny, shiny, shiny reps on leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Kiss the rep on shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Shiny, shiny, shiny reps on leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

NICE

I wish I had seen Lou reed in some capacity before he died.

Neither do you ! :laugh:

Yo- that legit made me laugh

 

[trailboss99]

they answer, yes it costs double because we ship it with clone ETA that is better than swiss ETA

do you know if that is plausible or it is b...sh...

Why would you even need to ask? Surely its obvious that that an original Swiss movement is of superior quality to a Chinese copy and if you had any doubt simply googling that question would remove it. Having done that and realised they are spouting utter bullshit it would them be self evident that nothing else they say can be trusted either. Simplz, huh?

Thanks @trailboss, anyway here in the forum and also other posts http://https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/sh...uot-Asian-quot
https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb...nes-Asian-Clones-%96-What%92s-the-best-choice
seems that clone movements (maybe lower quality) but some improves the ETA swiss in fluidity or other features
isn't that true?

So [MENTION=134549]powerdrome[/MENTION] did you follow the good advice intermixed here and stick with a TD or go forward with your purchase?

Hello teddy, as I said in the first post, I know that TD are the only choice, but surfing the net I came accross that site, because I was looking for a 6263 picture, so I can show to a TD and look if he find one.

Anyway contacting the support email of repliceeorologisvizzeri.com they come out with an odd claim, that you can read in the previous posts, [MENTION=48066]tripdog[/MENTION] is still wondering what it is all about, and despite his experience in reps, probably don't know this post
https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb...nes-Asian-Clones-%96-What%92s-the-best-choice

Basically they are selling with an option that doubles the price, called "Original assembled", and the ship the watch with a Clone ETA mobvement instead of the standard Swiss ETA.
Myself, thinking that ETA is better than clone asked them clarifications: they answered that new ETA super clones are better than swiss ETA, often refurbished or mixed with chinese parts.
In the thread at that link, there are different opinions, and I wanted to ask yours.

Thanks

Well, this has been the question that plagues us in the hobby, reclaimed ETA or new asian. Since you referenced that thread, I will not rehash what was said there, but I will add some personal experiences. Having watches with everything from new ETA to traditional Asian movements, I can offer this bit of insight. While the Swiss ETAs are often reclaimed and should be serviced, they are the best long term option. Ideally, a Sellita would be my selection as they are typically new movements and virtually identical to the ETA (Sellita was a parts supplier for ETA and now manufacturers their own movements). Asian "superclone"movements like the A2836 are a good alternative, and with a proper service every few years should be as reliable as the ETA, but are not always made from as good of metals and not always machined as well. The traditional asian movements are cheap, simple and usually reliable once you get past the first few months where defects can cause a failure (just like any product). I would avoid the new generation super clone Rolex movements like the SA3135 as they at least initially had a high failure rate and pretty much zero parts availability. The problem with the Asian movements like the A2836 is there are variants out there that are visually similar but inferior in design. One I have personally dealt with the the z2 movement in my Breitling Steelfish. It looks almost identical to a 2836 (referred to as a clone of a clone), but due to design is much more fragile and fails frequently. I am actually having it swapped out for a ETA right now.

The website you referenced above is taking some good information and twisting it around to justify charging more for a less expensive movement (A2836, etc). Since I have both, I can tell you first hand asian 2836 vs eta 2836 properly serviced, the ETA has a smoother seconds hand sweep and winding is also smoother (not significant but side by side it is visible). If I get time I'll place a gen eta movement next to my only Asian 2836 so you can see...not sure if it will even be visible in the video. The "original assembly" option refers to franken pieces. I remain dubious as these parts are often difficult to differentiate from a good quality clone. It appears as though you are researching and learning, which means you are on the right path. If you need more specific help, I am available to offer advice.

Also, BTW, [MENTION=48066]tripdog[/MENTION] is very knowledgeable and I'm sure he is familiar with this topic, he was just messing with you as many of these non TD questions are BS either from dealers trying to get a free advertisement in or a unversed new member who has not read the basic info yet. You appear to want to learn and pose some good questions within your post, but they were overshadowed because of this. Best of luck in your new found hobby!

Hello @teddy875, thanks a lot for your kind and useful answer!
You gave me a clear view on the situation together with your personal experience.

You also understand clearly my point on that internet site, and my seek for more info and details about rep movements.
I have been passionate on watches with a nice collection of sports watches, mostly rolex, omega and breitling.
In 2007 I had thefts at home and I lost mostly of them; I was so disappointed, that i lost my passion for watches.

At my 40th burthday 3 years ago, my friends gave me a GMT 16750, that was my first Rolex, and now I'm back on them.

After my trip to China this summer, where I bought some rep, I found this forum; a pity I didn't found it before.

Anyway may I ask your kind advice and opinions on the watches I found in Shenzhen? The pics are not great, I did those with iPhone , but if you need more close or macro pics, I will do.
Basically I would like to recreate my collection starting from good reps, and If I'll have money in the future buy some gen.

https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb...enzen/page2?p=3009232&viewfull=1#post-3009232

So after reading here in the forum I learned that there are more precise and good reps, so if it is worth it, I would trade off those i bought in Chine, for more expensive ones.
But I have to understand how those more expensive reps differs: if I have to pay 200$ more for 1mm recessed SEL or what else?

Thanks a lot
