Is it worth to buy 85$ replica?

Safe to say I don't agree that cheap reps are shit. Some are, some are not. I have and wear all grades of reps and gens. And for them not working, I have 12 year old 2813's that keep perfect time. I have ETAs that screwed the pooch quickly.

I love quartz chronos in reps. So efffortless. My Dhgate thread on RWG has 30K views and the one here 26K views.

Don't be so snobby. All depends on what you want.

Couldn't agree more, depends if you know what you're buying, where you buy from, what to avoid and perhaps prepared to put a better strap or bracelet on, re-align a bezel etc.

By and large I find the 2813's OK and if / when they shit their pants I bung an 8215 Miyota in them.
Chrono wise yes, the Quartz are solid, just freeze sub dial @3 on some of them ;)
